This study aimed to know: (1) farmers' responses to the level of implementation of the five-based farming practices in the partnership program of hybrid rice (2) simultaneously influences of social status, economic status, the level of farmers’ knowledge of, and assistance to farmers’ response related to the partnership program of hybrid rice, (3) the single influence of social status, economic status, farmers’ level of knowledge, and facilitation to farmers’ responses in the implementation of the five-based farming practices during hybrid rice partnership program.

The research was conducted in Pesisir Selatan Sub District of West Lampung Regency. The location was chosen intentionally considering that only in Pesisir Selatan Sub District there were groups of farmers cultivating hybrid rice plants. This research was conducted in January 2010. Respondents as many as 53 farmers were taken as sample using proportional (simple) random sampling. Research method used was a survey, while statistical analyses used were parametric statistics (i.e. linear and multiple linear regressions). The hypothesis proposed in this study was the responses of farmers towards the implementation of the five-based farming practices in a partnership program of hybrid rice were influenced by social status, economic status, level of knowledge, and facilitation.

The results showed that: (1) farmers’ responses to the implementation of the five-based farming practices during the partnership program of hybrid rice can be classified as moderate, that was 56.60 percent, (2) farmers’ responses to the partnership program were simultaneously influenced by social status, economic status, level of knowledge, and facilitation, (3) individually, influences of social status to the program was unimportant, but on the other hand economic status, level of knowledge, and facilitation had significant influences to the program. Knowledge level of farmers’ and assistance to them had the greatest influences on farmers’ responses in the partnership program of hybrid rice.

(3) pengaruh secara tunggal dari stutus sosial, status ekonomi, tingkat pengetahuan petani, dan pendampingan terhadap respon petani dalam penerapan panca usahatani pada program kemitraan padi hibrida.

Lokasi penelitian dilakukan di Kecamatan Pesisir Selatan Kabupaten Lampung Barat yang dipilih secara sengaja dengan pertimbangan bahwa hanya di Kecamatan Pesisir Selatan terdapat kelompok tani yang membudidayakan tanaman padi hibrida. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Januari 2010. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan Proporsional Simple Random Sampling, sehingga diperoleh sampel sebanyak 53 petani. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode survai, sedangkan analisis statistik yang digunakan adalah statistik parametrik regresi linear sederhana dan regresi linear berganda. Hipotesis yang diajukan dalam penelitian ini adalah diduga bahwa respon petani terhadap tingkat penerapan panca usahatani dalam program kemitraan padi hibrida dipengaruhi oleh status sosial, status ekonomi, tingkat pengetahuan, dan pendampingan.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa : (1) Respon petani terhadap tingkat penerapan panca usahatani dalam program kemitraan padi hibrida termasuk ke dalam klasifikasi sedang yaitu 56,60 persen. (2) respon terhadap tingkat penerapan panca usahatani dalam program kemitraan padi hibrida dipengaruhi secara bersama-sama oleh status sosial, status ekonomi, tingkat pengetahuan, dan pendampingan. (3) secara tunggal status sosial berpengaruh secara tidak nyata, sedangkan status ekonomi, tingkat pengetahuan, dan pendampingan berpengaruh secara nyata terhadap respon petani dalam menerapkan panca usahatani pada program kemitraan padi hibrida.
