EVALUASI KESESUAIAN LAHAN PASIR PANTAI UNTUK PENGEMBANGAN TANAMAN PADI (Oryza sativa L.) DI KECAMATAN SANDEN, KABUPATEN BANTUL, PROVINSI D.I.Y
Abstract
A research entitled "Evaluation of Coastal Sand Land Suitability for Rice Plant Development (Oryza sativa L.) in Sanden District, Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta Province" aims to determine the characteristics of land and the suitability level of coastal sand land for rice plant in Sanden District. The research was conducted from January to May 2018.
The data in this research were obtained by using the survey method, the location was chosen purposively and the data were analyzed by matching method to evaluate the coastal sand land suitability of Sanden District for rice plants.
The results of laboratory analysis showed that the coastal sand land in Sanden District was characterized as sand texture, very fast soil drainage, medium effective depth, salinity level of 6 - 11 mmosh/cm, low cation exchange capacity (CEC), low saturation base, neutral pH, very low C-Organic, no flood hazard, moderate total N content, low to very low K content and P content was very high.
These results showed that the actual and potential land suitability for rice plant in the coastal sand land of Sanden District had the same unit level those were N2rc-1,2 or and N2x-1 or not suitable permanently with limiting factors of drainage texture and soil salinity.
