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

Pertumbuhan Awal Tanaman Penyusun Agroforestri Sengon (Falcataria mollucana)+Manglid (Magnolia champaca)-Rumput Pakan Ternak pada Umur Sembilan Bulan

Vegetative soil and water conservation can be done by planting annual plants (timber) and crops. On sloping areas, terraces function to prevent erosion and to maintain the soil fertility. One effort to protect the terrace is to plant animal-feed plants. The combination of woody plants and grasses can increase the value of conservation and provide results for landowners, namely wood and forage. The research was designed to evaluate the growth of manglid (Magnolia champaca), sengon (Falcataria mollucana), and elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) planted in agroforestry. The study used a split plot design group with wood plant species, namely 4 spacing (3 x 3; 3 x 4; 3 x 5; and 3 x 6 m) each of three replications. The number of staple plants per treatment of 49 plants (7 x 7) by means of the type of sengon and manglid was planted by alternating hose. Elephant grass was planted along the terrace with a spacing of 1 x 1 m. The results showed that the spacing of the main plants 3 x 5 m with a distance between 5 m lines gave the best tree growth (diameter 24.5 mm and height 129.41 cm). The number of shoots per elephant grass clump ranged between 44-134 shoots with a wet weight per sample range of 83.6-278/g/shoot, while the productivity per area of 4 m2 ranged between 0.8-13.25 kg wet weight and 0.32-5.26 kg dry weight

Impact of Bamboo-Based Agroforestry Demonstration Plots Based on Farmers’ Perceptions

One of the efforts to develop bamboo is to apply agroforestry patterns, including the establishment bamboo-based agroforestry demonstration plots (BAF demplots). This study aims to determine the impact of BAF demplots based on farmers’ perceptions. The research was conducted in Sukaharja Village, Rajadesa District, Ciamis Regency, West Java. The respondents in this study were 46 farmers who worked on BAF demplots and 31 farmers who did not work on BAF demplots, so the total number of respondents was 77. Primary data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and direct observation. The data obtained were then processed and analyzed descriptively. Important Performance Analysis was used to analyse the impact of the BAF demplots based on the farmers’ perceptions. The results showed that the BAF demplot had a positive impact on farmers involved in and outside the demplots, in term of social and ecological impacts. However, the economic impact of the BAF demplots is considered to be below farmers’ expectations. Therefore, for the demplot to provide more economic benefits, it is necessary to develop potential bamboo-based businesses as part of the demplot development by involving various related stakeholders
