Abstract
Weeding rice weeds is done to reduce and prevent the competition of nutrients absorption between weeds/grass and rice plants. Weed control can be applied through various techniques, including pulling and piling the weeds into the soil. Weeds buried in the soil can be decomposed and become nutrients for rice plants. One application of technology used in weeding weeds is the use of single row power weeder (single engine) and multi-row power weeder (twin-engine). The research aimed to compare the performance of using a single row power weeder (single engine) and a multi-row power weeder (twin-engine) in rice fields. The multi-row power weeder was designed by combining a single row power weeder. This research was conducted by testing the performance of the power weeder in rice fields in an area of 14 m x 4 m for each replication. The total area of land used was 560 m2 with five experimental replicates. Weeding activities were carried out on rice plants aged 30 DAP. The results showed a successive comparison between the performance of the single row power weeder (single engine) and the multi-row power weeder (twin-engine), such as the theoretical working capacity was 0.037 ha/hour and 0.054 ha/hour, effective working capacity was 11.11 minutes and 9.78 minutes, the efficiency of the weeder performance was 82.48% and 64.87%, fuel consumption was 1.07 liters/hour and 1.92 liters/hour, and the success rate of weeding was 64.41 % and 59.77 %. The calculation results of the plant damage levels were 15 plants and 31 plants, while the mudding index values were 75.26% and 77.62%. The results of this study showed that the advantages of using a single row power weeder were on the parameters of effective working capacity, weeding efficiency, fuel, weeding success, and low plant damage. The advantages of the multi-row power weeder were the parameters of theoretical working capacity, effective working capacity, and muddling index.
