Methods: was carried out Konawe District at farm level Karandu Village, Anggotoa Sub Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The research design implemented allow comparison 2:1. 60 who 2:1 respectively, selected. Moreover, 30 did not both selected as method. compare non systems, mentioned above, respondents will with yield economic advantage. Lastly, determine technological perceptions, total 150 interviewed. Results: The case results showed that much more profitable than counterpart. introduction highly significant boosting production compared In perception, found low cost availability are most important parameters adoption this technology. Conclusions: summary, recommend system productivity. By reducing labor costs, seeding method increased income.
