- Abstract
Rice cultivation is an effort made by humans to meet basic food needs. However, the world’s population growth continues to increase, so it is necessary to improve the cultivation quality to meet these needs. Researchers have developed many cultivation methods to meet these needs, one method discovered and widely adopted by farmers in Yogyakarta and surrounding areas are “tapak macan” cropping pattern. “Tapak macan” is a planting method that consists of three hills forming an equilateral triangle with a side length of 5-7 cm. This research was conducted to evaluate the prototype design on planting arm and seedling tray mechanism based on prototype performance. Furthermore, this research is used to evaluating the design of the prototype. The research begins with the preparation of rice transplanter and rice seedling on customized trays. After seedlings are ready to be used, the rice transplanter is operated on the work desk and observed the amount and success rate seedlings picked. From the research that has been done, obtained the results from the adding traction to the roller and seedlings holders made the transplanter that can’t work, became works properly. The success rate for the improved rice transplanter was 89%, and the average amount of seedlings picked as much as 6.4 rice sticks for planting fork A1, 8 rice sticks for planting fork A2, and 6.2 rice sticks for the planting fork A3.
