KAJIAN AGRONOMIS TERHADAP SISTEM AGROFORESTRI MASY ARAKA T DI DAERAH ALIRAN SUNGAI CIANJUR

Abstract

Agronomic analysis had been conducted to analyze of cropping pattern of agroforestry in three zones of Cianjur watershed Those three zones were the upper stream (> 1000 m as/), the middle stream (300-1000 mas!) and the down stream (0-300 mas/). Observation was done to 30 samples of agroforestry plots and interview to 30 respondents for each village. The results showed that there were differences of cropping pattern within the three zones. Jn the upper stream zone, agroforestry practices were found in a forest garden with 1000/o intensive, 83.33% cropping index is 3 and plant rotation found 73.33% rotation by 3 species of plant. Jn the middle stream 73% intensive, 20% cropping index is 3 and 80% is 2, plant rotation found 79,99% rotation by 2 species. Jn the down stream only 16.7% inlensive, 76.66% cropping index is 2 and 23.23% is 1. Plant rotation in the down stream 7 3.33% rotation by 2 species. There are differences of criteria on the basis of which farmer decided to cultivate crops in their own lands in the three zones of Cianjur watershed.
