Description
Summary:Critical dry land can be rehabilitated by applying agroforestry patterns. Dry land has problems with low fertility and susceptible to erosion. Agroforestry can increase the success of planting as well as support food self-sufficiency efforts. Selection of crops will increase the success of planting as well as to obtain intermediate results for farmers. This study aimed to determine the productivity of each plant species on the manglid agroforestry system. The observations used experimental design by making experimental plots of manglid planting and crops of soybean and maize species. The study used a complete Randomized Block Design (RCBD) consisting of treatment of manglid spacing:3 mx3 m (J1), 3 mx 4 m (J2), 3 mx 5 m (53), 3 mx 6 m (14). Each treatment consisted of 42 plants (7x6) and 3 replications, yielding a total of 504 manglid plants. Soybean crops was planted alternately with corn. Soybeans were grown in manglid while corn was planted among manglid plants. The results showed that treatment of manglid plant spacing did not show a difference growth until the age of 9 months. Soybean crops grown in the staple of staple crops were still able to provide productivity of 0.190-0.529 ton/ha, maize grown among manglid crops was able to provide the highest productivity of 1,224 ton/ha. Agroforestry pattern that gives the highest income for farmers was obtained on the pattern of planting manglid + sweet corn+soybean with plant spacing of 3m x 6m.
