Abstract
Hydroponic vegetable cultivation can be used as an alternative in
increasing income that can be applied at home as an effort to use
narrow land. This study aims to find out how much capital is needed
in making hydroponic installations measuring 7.5 M x 1.5 M x 1 M and
the profits of pakcoy farming in Arga Indah 1 Village, Pagar Jati
District, Central Bengkulu Regency using an analysis of calculating
farm production costs and farming revenues. with the method of
calculating the R/C ratio. The results of the study indicate that the
hydroponic vegetable business uses a deep flow technique (DFT)
system, which includes planting media, plant installation, nutrition,
plant care, and production costs. Based on the results of this study,
economically, Pakcoy farming in Arga Indah 1 Village, Pagar Jati
District, Central Bengkulu Regency, obtained a profit in each
production of IDR 250,680 with an average income of IDR 11,250 per
day. Based on the calculation of the R/C ratio, the result is 2.2 which
can be concluded that the Packcoy hydroponic farming is feasible to
continue.
