The result showed that the PTT technology implementation level in Sukaratu is still low, more than 50% of the farmers were applied only 4 out of 6 components of basic PTT technology and 2 out of 7 components of PTT technology. However, it was proved that the PTT technology improved the productivity, revenue, and the efficiency of paddy farming. The productivity of a SLPTT paddy farming (6 tonnes/ha) is higher than that of non-SLPTT paddy farming (5.13 tons/ha). The income of SLPTT paddy farming (Rp 9.382.641/ha) is larger than that of non-SLPTT farmer. Base on RC ratio, the SLPTT farmers (R/C 1.87) are more efficient than non-SLPTT farmer (R/C 1.66).
