Identify the role of traditional ecological knowledge in rice variety management and assess community perceptions of rice farming practices.
Conducted a mixed qualitative and quantitative ethnobiological survey among farming communities in Sukoharjo District, Central Java, Indonesia.
Documented variety selection, cultivation techniques, anatomical plant part utilization, and ceremonial integration across semi-modern agricultural settings.
Farmers predominantly maintain and cultivate the Inpari 32 rice variety across semi-modern paddy systems rather than adopting newer alternatives.
Plant components—including stems (straw), grain, husks, and bran—are fully utilized for daily needs and essential cultural traditions like syukuran, kenduren, and bersih desa.
Integration of ancestral practices with mechanical tools supports localized agricultural management and reinforces crop biodiversity preservation.
