Abstract

Indonesia is in the region "wet tropical megabiodiversity" it would need to complete the system  for agricultural land suitability evaluation in accordance with real conditions, thus increasing the value-added resources optimally and sustainable and accountable production investment. Soil organisms as a component of production support can act as an agent of energy and nutrient cycling in the soil, improving soil physical properties, and controlling pests and disease. For that soil, biological parameters that need to be considered in evaluating the suitability of land that already exist include: N-fixing or P-solubilizing bacteria groups that live symbiosis and free-living, the fungi solubilizing P and soil organic matter decomposition groups, BGA fixing and free-living N symbiotic groups, fauna groups are able to conserve soil organic matter and improve soil physical properties. Important steps that need to be done in the evaluation of land cover inventory of soil biological populations and its role on the growth of crops, and evaluate the suitability of the soil biological parameters of the functional value of commodity options.

Abstract

Upland in the wet tropical region is dominated by acid soils, low organic matter content, and compacted subsoil layer (especially argillic horizone). The compacted soil inhibit penetration of plant roots and surface water infiltration and increase surface runoff and soil erosion, and low soil productivity. Soil fertility restoration through mechanical processing is difficult to be done, beside damaging the plant roots but also increasing soil erosion. Empowerment of earthworms in their life cycle can make a hole in the soil (burrower), prevent soil compaction, improve soil aeration, spreading organic matter and organic matter inhibits the rate of depreciation of land, and increase soil biological activity, and further can improve soil fertility without disrupting growth plants.

Abstract

Conventional open pit mining systems can changing the landscape and soil surface ecosystem balance, reducing soil productivity and environmental quality. On the other hand the good mining activities can increase national income, reduce pollution, decrease land slope, improve the thickness of topsoil, decrease soil density, increase infiltration- percolation and reduce soil erosion. Good implementation control of the open pit mining with the preservation of land resources and soil biodiversity can be achieved by: (1) mining blocks done from the bottom area, (2) reclamation carried out directly after the completion of mining, (3) formation of land surface with a wide terrace bench >5 m, vertical-interval bench terraces <2 m, the percentage of slope ± 60%, (4) removing the top layer of soil (topsoil) was placed back on the top layer with a thickness >20 cm and enriched with lime, organic matter, fertilizer or biofertilizer (5) biorehabilitation with endogeic earthworms and planting of legume cover crops as pioneer plants to accelerate the natural succession, and (6) maintenance up to a climax ecosystem as expected

Abstract

Indonesia is an archipelago in wet tropical volcanic regions have high soil biodiversity, high rate of weathering and high of soil erosion, but low on soil fertility and soil organic matter content. Improvement of soil fertility to plant directly with the provision of organic materials requires a large amount and expensive. Problems faced by low organic matter production ability, high decomposition rate, bulky and is in the archipelago, making it difficult in the procurement and conservation of organic matter in soil and expensive transportation costs. Provision of organic materials with the aim of empowering the soil biology resources to enhance soil fertility potential pursued. In addition to the dose of organic matters required is relatively lower may also prevent the emergence of soil born diseases are also increasing of soil organic matter conservation. In determining land suitability evaluation in wet tropical volcanic region should consider the role of soil organism populations to support crop production and protected soil organic matter content.

Abstract

Indonesia has been able to reach self sufficiency for rice, but the problem is decreasing farmer economic value exchange. For that reason besides pursuing increase land productivity and agriculture commodities development, the improvement farmer income must be done. Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta Province has ± 0,319 million ha within land typology from mountainous vulcanize until sand shore. The problem is narrow land tenure, so that to increase farmer income the development of agriculture commodity with high economics value should be executed based on land carrying capacity. High diversity of land typology with good irrigation network and farm road infrastructure make DI Yogyakarta Province potential to be developed as agriculture seed centre and off season commodity planting. The minerals deposit of volcanous Merapi mountain and marine can increase quality ofagricultural product which good for health, therefore it is potential for development of functional food and improvement livestock reproduction for calf production. Through agricultural product that has high economics value, farmer income and public prosperity are expected to increased.

Abstract

In global free trade action, Indonesia has many rivalry constrain to involve on standart product quality need which determined by developed countries from subtropical area. Agriculture product added value based on tropical natural resource is not accommodated proportionally, so that the Indonesian farming system has faced many obstacle resulting low competitive. Competitiveness digging of Indonesian specific land resource is a step in the right direction to do, besides it can increase competitiveness and has protected by regionally regulation. The Indonesian spatial competitiveness are sun energy, rainfall, mineral deposit, diversity of agricultural commodities, geographical position, and agricultural land availability for spell of production. Agricultural production arrangement that considering land capacity and specific competitiveness will increase production efficiency, added value, and selling product. Arrangement of spatial plan of various commodities and correct zonation based on need and location of market will increase competitiveness and farmer welfare. Functional food development, commodity choice, harvest area placement and harvest time arrangement are absolute competitiveness of Indonesian agricultural product and can not be competed by other region.
