Local wisdom-based agricultural practices play an important role in maintaining food production sustainability and preserving local genetic resources. One of the traditional practices maintained by the Banjar community is manaradak, a local nursery system used in the cultivation of indigenous rice varieties. This study aims to analyze the manaradak nursery system of the Banjar community in supporting seedling resilience for local rice cultivation in Kurau District, Tanah Laut Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with local rice farmers, field observations, documentation, and a review of relevant literature on indigenous agricultural knowledge. The data were analyzed descriptively through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing to understand the processes, values, and contributions of the manaradak system to the sustainability of local rice cultivation. The findings reveal that manaradak is a nursery system developed from indigenous knowledge transmitted across generations and adapted to local agroecological conditions. The practice contributes to maintaining the availability of quality seedlings, enhancing plant adaptability to environmental conditions, and supporting the conservation of local rice varieties that represent the agricultural identity of the Banjar community. Furthermore, manaradak strengthens social cohesion through knowledge sharing and collaborative activities among farmers in nursery management. The system also serves as a local strategy for addressing agricultural production challenges, including environmental changes and limited access to commercial seeds. Therefore, manaradak represents a valuable form of local wisdom that significantly supports seedling resilience and the sustainability of local rice cultivation in Kurau District.
