Abstract

Abstrak

Pencegahan kerusakan tanah akibat erosi sangat diperlukan oleh petani dalam keberlanjutan produksi pertanian. Penelitian di DAS Kamenti Tulap menunjukkan tingkat bahaya erosi berat sampai sangat berat mencakup 30,38% dari luas wilayah DAS tersebut. Dalam rangka peningkatan pengetahuan petani dalam perlindungan tanah dari kerusakan akibat erosi maka perlu diberi pelatihan dan pendampingan penerapan teknologi konservasi tanah secara vegetatif. Tanaman cabe dipilih dalam praktek dilapangan karena sudah tersedia bantuan bibit dari swasta dan pemerintah.

Abstract

Preventing soil degradation caused by erosion is essential for farmers to ensure the sustainability of agricultural production. Research conducted in the Kamenti Tulap Watershed indicates that severe to very severe erosion hazards cover 30.38% of the watershed area. To enhance farmers’ knowledge in protecting soil from erosion-induced damage, training and assistance in the application of vegetative soil conservation technologies are required. Chili plants were selected for field practice because seedlings had already been provided through support from both private and government sources.
