Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important food commodity and a key source of plant-based protein. However, its productivity in Indonesia remains below its maximum potential. One of the limiting factors is the inefficiency of irrigation systems, particularly in dryland areas such as Karangmojo administrative Village, Gunungkidul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. This study aims to analyze the irrigation practices adopted by farmers and their impact on groundnut yield, providing a basis for local agricultural policy recommendations. The research was conducted using a survey method, including direct field observation, structured interviews with nine farmer respondents, and secondary data collection from the Agricultural Extension Agency (BPP) and Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The results revealed that most farmers relied on canal irrigation and rented groundwater pumps for IDR 70,000 per hour, which contributed to higher production costs. Another common problem is that irrigation channels leak, which causes waterlogging and then pod rot. Productivity levels varied significantly among farmers. Three respondents achieved yields above the national average. Two respondents' results were the same as the national production average, and the other four respondents still produced below the national production average. The primary constraints identified were rodent and fungal infestations, as well as waterlogging problems in Karangduwet 1 village. Policy support is needed to improve irrigation infrastructure, promote the adoption of modern irrigation technologies, and implement integrated pest management to strengthen food security in dryland farming systems.
