This research aims to analyze the comparison of lowland rice harvest costs between traditional methods and the use of combine harvester technology in Padang Siring Village, Seginim District, South Bengkulu Regency. A total of 56 farmers were research respondents, consisting of 28 farmers using combine harvesters and 28 farmers using traditional methods. Primary data was collected through observation and interviews, while secondary data came from related agency documents. The research results show that the average cost of harvesting using traditional methods reaches IDR 2,560,000, while the cost of harvesting using a Combine Harvester is IDR 1,865,000, with a cost difference of IDR 695,000. Combine Harvester provides higher cost efficiency because it only requires IDR 500/kg for production wages and harvest time is shorter, namely one day for one hectare. In contrast, traditional methods require more labor and time, so they are more expensive. Reasons why farmers choose traditional methods include muddy land conditions, narrow rice fields, and inconsistent harvests. This research concludes that the use of a Combine Harvester is more efficient in terms of cost and time, but its implementation is still hampered by land conditions. It is hoped that this study can become a reference in encouraging the adoption of appropriate technology in the agricultural sector to support sustainable food self-sufficiency.

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is the recovery of oil remaining in a reservoir after primary and secondary recovery methods because it has been exhausted or is no longer economical, using thermal, chemical or mixed gas processes. Most conventional methods are not suitable for extracting oil from high temperature and high pressure (HTHP) reservoirs due to chemical degradation in the environment. Alternatively, electromagnetic (EM) energy is used as a thermal method to reduce oil viscosity in reservoirs, thereby increasing oil production. The application of nanotechnology in EOR is also investigated. In this study, we investigate a non-invasive method by injecting dielectric nanofluids into an oil reservoir simultaneously with electromagnetic irradiation, with the aim of increasing oil production by causing disruption at the oil-water interface. During core displacement tests, ZnO and Al2O3 nanofluids were shown to obtain higher amounts of residual oil than commercial sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant without EM irradiation. With EM irradiation, more residual oil is obtained compared to without irradiation. It has also been shown that changing the viscosity of dielectric nanofluids during electromagnetic irradiation increases sweep efficiency, resulting in higher oil recovery.
