Abstract

The “tapak macan” planting system is one of the technologies that has been proven to be successful in increasing rice productivity in the Special Region of Yogyakarta to 16–17 tons/ha. The “tapak macan” is a planting system that uses three stems planted with a triangular symmetrical pattern, with the distance on each planting point on one clump 5–7 cm. Although it can increase rice productivity well, the implementation of the system is still done manually. Based on these constraints, a Rice transplanter prototype for “tapak macan” was created by the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Universitas Gadjah Mada to solve that problem. From the laboratory’s performance testing, the best result was 3.68 rice seeds taken for A1, 5.82 for A2, and 3.88 for A3. Based on these results, it can also be seen that the performance of testing the prototype in the laboratory is still far from the planting requirements of the “tapak macan.” Hence, improving the prototype’s performance is necessary before the public can accept it. In addition, rice seeds with a ribbon shape are also needed for using the prototype. Therefore, a new prototype was made from a transplanter that used seeds in a square shape. That seed’s shape is usually used by transplanters already on the market. The development base was chosen so that the community can more accept the prototype that will be made. In the end, the wider community can apply the “tapak macan” planting system with excellent potential. Based on this research, a prototype has successfully taken 2,5 seeds at each planting point. This prototype also has advantages that can use to plant with another planting pattern. With this prototipe hoped that later with this tool, it will be able to overcome general agricultural problems, namely related to planting power. Specifically, it can help implement the “tapak macan” system. Indirectly, with this prototype, it is also hoped that it can increase rice productivity in Indonesia.
