EVALUASI KESESUAIAN LAHAN KOMODITI KAKAO (Theobroma cacao L.) BERDASARKAN DEPTAN (1997) DI DESA LUTUENG KECAMATAN MANE KABUPATEN PIDIE

Abstrak. Sesuai Kriteria DEPTAN (1997) ditemukan 2 Satuan Peta Lahan (SPL) yang di amati di lapangan dengan jenis tanah Ultisol, topografi mulai datar (8%) sampai landai (8-15%), penggunaan lahan berupa hutan lindung dan pertanian lahan kering, keadaan drainase baik, kedalaman efektif 30-60 cm. SPL 2 memiliki luas 3010,23 ha dan SPL 3 seluas 4255,39 ha dengan total luas lokasi penelitian 7265,62 ha. Analisis tingkat kesesuaian lahan aktual untuk tanaman kakao di Desa Lutueng Kecamatan Mane Kabupaten Pidie ditemukan pada SPL 2 dan SPL 3 adalah S3n. Tingkat kesuburan lahan pada SPL 2 dan SPL 3  tergolong rendah. Karakteristik lahan untuk pengembangan komoditi kakao dapat memberikan input perbaikan sehingga kesesuaian lahan potensial dapat dinaikkan kelas kesesuaiannya menjadi S1 dengan mengadakan perbaikan pengolahan tanah dan pemberian pupuk.Evaluation Land Suitability Of Cocoa Commodity (theobroma cacao l.) Based Deptan (1997) In The Lutueng Village of Mane District PidieAbstract. According criteria of DEPTAN (1997) found 2 Soil Map Unit (SPL) were observed in the field with the Ultisol type, flat topography starts (8%) until the ramps (8-15%), land use in the form of protected forest and dryland farming , a state of good drainage, effective depth of 30-60 cm. SPL 2 has an area of 3010.23 ha and SPL 3 area of 4255.39 ha with a total area of research is 7265.62 ha study site. Analysis of the level of actual land suitability for cocoa trees in the Lutueng village of Mane District of Pidie Regency match SPL 2 and 3 are S3N. Soil fertility level in the SPL 2 and 3 are low. Characteristics of land for the development of cocoa can provide input so that the land suitability of potential improvements can be raised by the S1 class compliance be made repairs tillage and fertilizer application.
