Climate change as a consequence of global warming has a significant impact on the agricultural
sector, including shallot cultivation of the Lembah Palu (VLP) variety. This study aims to analyze farmers’
adaptive behavior and adaptation strategies in responding to climate change in Oloboju Village, Sigi Kota
District, Sigi Regency. The research was conducted from August to October 2024 with 33 farmer
respondents selected through simple random sampling. Primary data were obtained through observation and
interviews, while secondary data were collected from literature and related institutions. Data were analyzed
using a descriptive qualitative method. The results show that the adaptive behavior of VLP shallot farmers
remains low. Most farmers have not adjusted their planting time (75.76%), do not use drought-resistant
varieties (84.85%), do not manage irrigation specifically (78.79%), and have not practiced crop rotation
(81.82%). Furthermore, the majority have not applied fertilizers and pesticides properly (78.79%), have not
actively sought climate information (75.76%), have not regularly used organic fertilizers (81.82%), and have
not diversified their farming (72.73%). The lack of adaptive behavior is influenced by limited information,
hereditary practices, and insufficient assistance. The most dominant adaptation strategy is the use of longlasting varieties (100%), followed by proper fertilization and pesticide application (72.73%), adjustment of
planting time (66.67%), access to climate information (63.64%), and irrigation management (60.61%).
Meanwhile, crop rotation (45.45%), organic fertilizer use (39.39%), and farm diversification (33.33%) are
still rarely implemented.

Perubahan iklim akibat pemanasan global berdampak nyata terhadap sektor pertanian, termasuk
komoditas bawang merah varietas Lembah Palu (VLP). Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui perilaku adaptasi
serta strategi yang dilakukan petani dalam menghadapi perubahan iklim di Desa Oloboju, Kecamatan Sigi
Kota, Kabupaten Sigi. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada Agustus–Oktober 2024 dengan jumlah responden 33
petani yang ditentukan melalui simple random sampling. Data primer diperoleh melalui observasi dan
wawancara, sedangkan data sekunder dari literatur dan instansi terkait. Analisis data dilakukan secara
deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perilaku adaptasi petani bawang merah VLP masih
rendah. Sebagian besar petani belum menyesuaikan waktu tanam (75,76%), tidak menggunakan varietas
tahan kering (84,85%), belum mengelola irigasi secara khusus (78,79%), dan belum melaksanakan rotasi
tanam (81,82%). Selain itu, mayoritas belum menggunakan pupuk dan pestisida secara tepat (78,79%),
belum mencari informasi iklim (75,76%), belum rutin menggunakan pupuk organik (81,82%), serta belum
melakukan diversifikasi usahatani (72,73%). Rendahnya perilaku adaptif dipengaruhi oleh keterbatasan
informasi, kebiasaan turun-temurun, dan kurangnya pendampingan. Strategi adaptasi yang paling dominan
adalah penggunaan varietas tahan lama (100%), diikuti pemupukan dan pestisida tepat (72,73%),
penyesuaian waktu tanam (66,67%), akses informasi iklim (63,64%), dan pengelolaan irigasi (60,61%).
Sementara strategi rotasi tanam (45,45%), pupuk organik (39,39%), serta diversifikasi usahatani (33,33%)
masih jarang diterapkan.
