Sejauh mana peran penyuluh pertanian terhadap produksi padi sawah petani adalah tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini. Lokasi penelitian di Tasikmalaya. Penelitian menggunakan metode sampling sederhana, Data primer diperoleh dengan wawancara dan observasi terhadap 68 responden petani padi sawah,,kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji regresi linier berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyuluh berperan terhadap dinamika petani dalam memproduksi padi sawah. Penyuluh pertanian menunjukkan kinerja yang baik sebagai pembimbing maupun konsultan. Namun dalam hal penerapan teknologi belum mampu menggerakkan petani oleh karena kepemilikan lahan yang sempit. Demikian juga penyuluh sebagai organisator belum begitu berperan karena petani lebih mempercayakan ketua kelompok sebagai organisator. Dengan demikian dibutuhkan peningkatan peran penyuluh pertanian agar mencapai kategori baik atau sangat baik. Kata kunci: Dinamika Padi Sawah, Penyuluh Pertanian, Peran. The Role of Agriculture Extension agents on Lowland Rice Production in Tasikmalaya Regency ABSTRACT Agricultural extension workers are the spearhead of successful agricultural development. The extent to which the role of agricultural extension agents on lowland rice production is the purpose of this research. The research location is in Pancatengah Tasikmalaya. The study used a simple sampling method. Primary data were obtained by interviewing and observing 68 respondents of lowland rice farmers, then analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that extension workers played a role in the dynamics of the farmer in producing lowland rice. Agricultural extension agents indicated an excellent performance as mentors and consultants. However, in terms of technology application, they have not mobilized farmers because of narrow land ownership. Likewise, extension workers as organizers have not played a signifcant role because farmers rely more on group leaders as organizers. Thus, it is necessary to increase the role of agricultural extension agents in order to achieve a good or very good category.
