Irrigation and Agricultural Drainage

JALAN LADANG

Jalan ladang is a very important basic communication system in paddy fields. It is a major gateway connecting the fields to the outside world. Farm roads were built to facilitate the use of machinery such as lorries for the purpose of transporting seeds or paddy crops, harvesting machinery for harvesting and cars / motorcycles to facilitate farmers to go back and forth to tillage. Then narrow existing farm roads should be widened and damaged or imperfect roads should be upgraded. This is important because it is fundamental to the transfer of technology and modernization of paddy fields to become a viable industry. Some farm roads are not only used for agricultural use but also for daily use as well as for commercial purposes. The total length of farm road available in the IADA paddy field is 756,829m. Most of the farm roads found in the IADA irrigation scheme are 4m wide.
