Efektivitas dan Efisiensi Penerapan Alat Katrol sebagai Teknologi Tepat Guna pada Pemanenan Ketela Pohon Jarak Towo
Abstract
Pemanenan ketela pohon Jarak Towo secara manual umumnya memerlukan tenaga kerja yang besar, waktu panen yang relatif lama, berisiko menyebabkan cedera kerja dan kerusakan umbi. Kondisi tersebut menjadi kendala bagi petani, terutama pada lahan dengan tanah bertekstur berat dan struktur tanah yang kuat serta jumlah umbi yang banyak dengan ukuran besar dan panjang. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas dan efisiensi penerapan alat katrol sebagai teknologi tepat guna pada proses pemanenan ketela pohon Jarak Towo. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di Desa Wonorejo, Kecamatan Jatiyoso, Kabupaten Karanganyar melalui tahapan koordinasi dengan mitra, perancangan alat, edukasi dan sosialisasi, demonstrasi penggunaan alat katrol, monitoring dan evaluasi kegiatan. Evaluasi dilakukan dengan membandingkan teknik panen manual dan penggunaan alat katrol berdasarkan parameter efektivitas dan efisiensi. Parameter efektivitas meliputi keberhasilan pencabutan umbi, penurunan kerusakan umbi, kemudahan penggunaan alat, dan kemampuan penggunaan alat oleh petani perempuan. Parameter efisiensi meliputi waktu panen, jumlah tenaga kerja, pengurangan beban kerja, pengurangan keluhan cedera, dan efisiensi biaya tenaga kerja. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa dari aspek efektivitas, alat katrol meningkatkan keberhasilan pencabutan umbi, menurunkan persentase umbi patah dari 10% menjadi 5%, dan memberikan kemudahan penggunaan alat termasuk bagi petani perempuan yang sebelumnya mengalami keterbatasan dalam proses panen manual. Penggunaan alat katrol dari aspek efisiensi mampu mempercepat waktu panen dari 5-10 menit menjadi
