Abstract:
Abstract. The selection of rice varieties is a problem because there are a number of criteria that
are considered in decision making. The criteria used in this study for the selection of rice varieties
are yield potential, average yield, age of harvest, resistance to brown plant hopper pest and
resistance to bacterial leaf blight disease. The concept of decision support system is a model for
selecting the type of variety desired based on determined criteria (attributes). In this study using
the weighted product method because there are a number of criteria in decision making (Multi
Attribute Decision Making). The weighted product method calculates the preference value of
each alternative where the alternative chosen is the one that has the greatest relative preference
value. Based on the test results using an application program created, the relative preference
values of each superior rice variety are obtained. From the calculation of the largest preference
value is INPARI 1 with a value of V equal to 0.0404
