Abstract

Carbosulfan is one of the pesticides widely used by farmers of shallot. Excessive use of pesticides has caused controversy, particularly with regard to the environment and health, as pesticide residues can accumulate in agricultural products and pollute rivers. Even though, the use of Carbosulfan pesticide is still believed by many to benefit farmers in the economic and social aspects. This study aims to: (1) to analyse the income on shallot farming and (2) to analyse production function and production efficiency on shallot farming. The method used in this study are income analysis, linear regression analysis and efficiency analysis. Based on the results of the study, the revenue and cost ratio values is greater than 1. It indicated that the farming of shallot farming is profitable. The use of carbosulfan has positive and significant effect on shallot production. The production elasticity of carbosulfan insecticides is positive and is between 0 and 1 (0.051), indicating that farmers are rational in the use of carbosulfan for pest control. The ratio of marginal product value to the input price from the use of carbosulfan is 0.049. This means that the allocation of carbosulfan insecticide is not efficient and must be reduced in order to obtain maximum profit on shallot farming.
