Rice is a food staple in Indonesia and the need for rice increases each year.The Indonesian government has targetted increasing rice production from 71 million t in 2013 to 76 million t in 2014.One major constraint for rice production is the ricefield rat.One cause of high rat populations in rice fields is unsynchronized planting that extends breeding of rats,leading to high population densities and high yield losses.Our research was conducted in Minggir and Godean,Sleman District,Yogyakarta in 2013.Our aim was to implement an EBRM Model to control rats in an area with unsynchronized planting.The EBRM activity covered 100 hectares with 64 hectares under rice production.We engaged at a community level promoting synchronized planting,habitat sanitation,gropyokan (mass action) ,fumigation,trap-barrier system (TBS) and linear TBS.The number of rats captured was 3,811 in Minggir and 13,312 in Godean.Rodent damage to rice was substantially reduced in Minggir to 22.01% (84.49%in untreated) ,and in Godean to 6.42% (62.67%untreated) .The yield of rice was 5.42 ton/ha (2.75 ton/ha untreated) in Minggir and 5.85 ton/ha (2.40 ton/ha untreated) in Godean.The success of EBRM in Minggir and Godean occurred through adoption of community control with targeted management actions and synchrony of cropping.This approach was based on our knowledge of the breeding ecology and spatial use of rodents in lowland intensive rice systems in Java.EBRM generated substantial increases in the livelihoods of farmers.
