Abstract

In increasing shallot yields, farmers need the role of an agricultural extension worker. They provide assistance in the form of monitoring, technical direction, sharing experiences and skills, as well as pre- and post-harvest guidance. Besides that, they can provide additional information about prices in the market. In an effort to increase shallot yields, especially in Enrekang Regency, agricultural extension officers are needed, especially in terms of interpersonal communication competence in carrying out their role as communicators in delivering extension messages. Good relationships with farmers are an important factor in order to establish effective communication in carrying out their role to share relevant knowledge and skills. Onion cultivation must be done correctly, through effective interpersonal communication to overcome obstacles, provide motivation, and build ideal cooperation between farmers and extension workers. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. The results of this study are that by using interpersonal communication competencies, field agricultural extension workers play an important role in increasing shallot yields in Enrekang district. One of the obstacles is that some farmers are still reluctant to follow the directions of agricultural extension workers because they consider themselves more experienced in shallot farming.
