Abstract

Papua is known as an island rich in plant diversity and potential fauna. The problems encountered are that not all types of genetic resources have been explored and identified, limited guidance on the characterization of local plants and some of them are also starting to be difficult to find, especially species that experience rarity and lead to extinction. This study aims to explore and introduce the potential of typical Papuan fruit plants so that it is useful for policymakers for the development of typical fruit plants in the future as a food reserve source of vitamins, and minerals. The location was determined based on where typical fruit plants grow in Papua Province. Data collected include socio-cultural data (local wisdom), its contribution to the economy of farmer households, and growing environment data. The research method used was descriptive exploration, to be able to document community knowledge about the management of typical fruit germplasm requires appropriate information gathering and careful and in-depth study. Information was taken in the yard and land outside the yard/farmer's garden. Activities were carried out from March to December 2019 in Jayapura district. Local plants include fruit plants endemic to the local community, which have been used for generations by the local community.

Abstract

Agroecological zoning system is essential to accelerate the production of plantation crops such as sugarcane. This is a tool that helps to identify the most suitable areas for growing specific crops based on the physical and biological characteristics of the land. The ideal conditions for sugarcane growth can be achieved from optimal planting land conditions and adequate climate and fertilization. Land use planning is key to the sustainability of plantation crops in Indonesia. In this study, we used land suitability evaluation for sugarcane cultivation using an agroecological zoning system. Multisource of suitability criteria was used from the thematic map that included the land use/land cover map, slope map, rainfall map, and soil type map as physical and biological characteristics of the land. On the land suitability map for sugarcane cultivation, the results are in the form of land area that was adjusted to the Food and Agriculture Organization indicators regarding land suitability class. We found that 23.20% of the area (11,149.49 km2) was very suitable for sugarcane cultivation, 30.18% (14,499.67 km2) was moderately suitable, 36.05% (17,321.71 km2) was marginally suitable, and 10.55% (5,068.25 km2) was not suitable for sugarcane plantation. In this study, it was found that around 1,114,949 ha of land in East Java had the potential to become sugarcane plantations based on the agroecological zoning system. This research recommended that the integrated approach of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with satellite remote sensing vegetation datasets utilization might help to develop the site-specific management of sugarcane plantations.   Keywords: agroecological zone, land suitability, mapping, remote sensing, sugarcane.
