Karakteristik dan Potensi Hijauan Pakan pada Lahan Terintegrasi Tanaman Sawit (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) dan sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria L.).

Abstract

This study aims to measure the forage potential of feed and its characteristics under the auspices of palm oil and sengon This study uses descriptive purposive sampling research methods with 3 repeats and airy observations of forages that grow in shade and without tree shade. The parameters observed were light intensity, temperature, humidity, soil color, soil pH, forage production, capacity, forage identification, and vegetation analysis. The vegetation of the palm oil land is dominated by Axonopus fissifolius with an INP of 45,55, sengon Colocasia esculenta (L.) land of 130.83, and land without the shade of Tridax procumbens L. of 48.48. Conclusions from this study include (1) Shade levels affect the diversity and productivity of forage feed. (2) There are 15 species of vegetation on oil palm land, 3 species on sengon land, and 6 species on land without shade. (3) Land without shade has a higher value of capacity and forage production that it has the potential in the development of forage feed for livestock.
