Abstract

The study aimed to identify the communication model and the variables that influence the implementation of the planting calendar at the farmer level in West Java. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method used in this analysis with exogenous (which influenced) variables in the form of government support, environmental support; agricultural extension support; Cropping Calendar Task Force support; farmer characteristics; social system; communication media; and the features of the planting calendar technology, while the level of implementation of the planting calendar by farmers and the level of sustainability of the performance of the planting calendar are endogenous variables (which are affected). The results showed that the adoption rate of farmers' planting calendars was positively influenced by exogenous variables meanwhile the variable degree of application of the planting calendar by farmers has a positive effect on endogenous variables with feedback from the farmers to Integrated Cropping Calendar Information System.
