【 摘 要 】

Currently, maize farming in dry land has important role in line with decreasing arable land area and the increasing need for food and animal feed industry. The proper dry land management is expected to respond and meet these needs. This study aims to determine the performance of dry land maize farming with biochar and manure, which results are expected to be a recommendation for dry land management in a sustainable manner. The research location is determined purposively and the total sample is 150 respondents. Captured data includes primary data that is strengthened by the support of secondary data. This method of data analysis is using analysis of farming. The results showed that the farming maize dry land in this study showed a good performance based on indicators of revenue cost ratio > 1, gross margin cost ratio is positive and has more than bank interest rate applicable. The use of labour is a classified productive number as well as the standard of output and revenue. The value of the break-even point is far below the average output value and selling price. Therefore, the maize farming in dry land with biochar and manure in this study is feasible to develop.
