| Summary: | Variable of the effectiveness of farmer groups (exogenous) is one of the variable that affect the level of innovation adoption (endogenous) of integrated crop management model of lowland rice. The effectiveness of farmer groups consists of 4 (four) indicators, namely performance, satisfaction, quality and commitment. The effect of the effectiveness of farmer group variables can result in a decrease in the level of adoption of technological innovations in farmer groups. The component of integrated crop management model innovation adoption consists of two technological components, namely basic technological components and selected technological components. This study aims to analyze the influence of farmer group effectiveness on the level of adoption of innovation with the integrated crop management model approach of national strategic food centers in Kapuas Regency, Central Kalimantan. The results of the descriptive statistical analysis of the average value of the effectiveness of farmer groups variable equal to 3.874 are included in the good category, while the average value of the innovation adoption level variable equal to 4.475 includes the category of very appropriate recommendations. Data processing using the PLS-SEM (Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling) method. The fact of the study results prove that the effectiveness of farmer group variable has a significant effect on the level of innovation adoption of farmer groups, where the T-statistic value 7,643 > T-table 1,96 (Two tailed) and the path coefficient of 0,305 shows that there is a significant and positive influence, meaning that the higher the effectiveness of the farmer group will lead to the higher influence of the level of innovation adoption. The value of determination coefficient of 0.093 shows that the level of innovation adoption is influenced by the effectiveness of farmer groups of 9,30%, the rest 90,70% is influenced by other factors which not contained in the model.
