Karakteristik Teknis Sistem Pertanaman Polikultur Sayuran Dataran Tinggi

Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di sentra produksi sayuran dataran tinggi Pangalengan, Jawa Barat pada bulan No vem ber2001. Observasi lapang dan survai for mal melalui wawancara dengan 23 orang petani responden diarahkan untukmemperoleh data/informasi dasar mencakup karakteristik teknis sistem pertanaman polikultur pada komunitassayuran dataran tinggi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kecenderungan yang semakin meningkat dari penggunaansistem pertanaman polikultur. Kombinasi tanaman yang pal ing sering dipilih petani adalah cabai + petsai, kemudiandiikuti oleh tomat + petsai, cabai + siampo, kubis + petsai, dan cabai + kentang + petsai. Secara umum, pemilihan jenissayuran yang dikombinasikan telah sejalan dengan prinsip dasar polikultur yang mengisyaratkan maksimisasisinergisme dan minimisasi kompetisi antartanaman. Petani pada umumnya memilih tanaman kombinasi yangcenderung berumur lebih pendek dan memiliki kanopi lebih sempit dibandingkan dengan tanaman utama.Pengalaman petani mengindikasikan bahwa (a) tomat+petsai dikategorikan memiliki hubungan kompetitif, (b)cabai+petsai dikategorikan tidak saja memiliki hubungan komplementer, tetapi juga hubungan suplementer, (c)tomat+cabai, kentang+tomat, tomat+siampo, dikategorikan memiliki hubungan komplementer/kompetitif, dan (d)cabai+tomat dikategorikan memiliki hubungan suplementer/kompetitif. Kemungkinan kekurangan air ataukekeringan dipersepsi memiliki bobot pengaruh terpenting terhadap keberhasilan sistem pertanaman polikultur.Berdasarkan urutan kepentingannya, bobot pengaruh tersebut diikuti oleh curah hujan per tahun, efek naungan daritanaman lain yang dapat mengurangi radiasi sinar matahari, to tal kebutuhan air, curah hujan efektif per tahun dan efeklindungan. Dukungan hasil penelitian hulu yang bersifat teknis mencakup optimasi penataan spasial dan tem po ral(waktu tanam), optimasi kombinasi tanaman berdasarkan potensi sinergi dan kompetisi, seleksi, dan pemuliaantanaman spesifik untuk tumpangsari, aplikasi pemupukan dan pemulsaan, serta pengendalian hama penyakit secarabiologis, masih sangat diperlukan agar diperoleh suatu acuan atau bahan pembanding yang dapat digunakan untukmelakukan evaluasi, konfirmasi, dan pengembangan sistem polikultur lebih lanjut.Kata kunci: Polikultur; Sayuran dataran tinggi; Sinergisme; KompetisiAB STRACT.

Aspek Nonteknis dan Indikator Efisiensi Sistem Pertanaman Tumpang Sari Sayuran Dataran Tinggi

Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di sentra produksi sayuran dataran tinggi Pangalengan, Jawa Barat pada bulan No vem ber2001. Observasi lapang dan survai for mal melalui wawancara dengan 23 orang petani responden diarahkan untukmemperoleh data/informasi dasar mencakup aspek non-teknis dan indikator efisiensi sistem pertanaman tumpangsaripada komunitas sayuran dataran tinggi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komoditas sayuran utama yangdiusahakan secara monokultur maupun tumpangsari di Pangalengan adalah kentang, kubis, petsai, cabai dan tomat.Petani mempersepsi kentang sebagai komoditas sayuran yang teknik budidayanya pal ing dikuasai serta pal ing dapatdiandalkan/menguntungkan. Sementara itu, tomat dan kubis dikategorikan sebagai jenis sayuran yang memiliki risikoproduksi pal ing tinggi (terutama dikaitkan dengan risiko kehilangan hasil panen akibat serangan hama penyakit).Sebagian besar petani responden cenderung lebih sering memilih sistem pertanaman tumpangsari berdasarkanpertimbangan (a) memberikan ruang gerak yang lebih leluasa bagi petani untuk menghindarkan kemungkinankehilangan hasil secara to tal serta kerugian finansial yang disebabkan oleh rendahnya harga salah satu komoditas yangditanam, (b) memanfaatkan lahan dan energi sinar matahari secara lebih efisien, (c) instabilitas hasil yang disebabkanoleh cekaman lingkungan maupun serangan hama penyakit secara keseluruhan dapat dikurangi oleh karena sistemterdiri dari dua atau lebih spesies tanaman yang berbeda, (d) memungkinkan penggunaan tenaga kerja dan modalproduksi secara lebih efisien, dan (e) dua atau lebih cabang USAha (jenis tanaman) yang menopang sistem tersebutdapat saling menutupi jika salah satu di antaranya mengalami kerugian. Sebagian besar petani responden cenderungmemberikan penilaian positif terhadap sta tus sistem pertanaman tumpangsari berkaitan dengan kemungkinanpeningkatan pendapatan USAhatani, pengurangan risiko harga/hasil dan pemeliharaan/perbaikan kelestarianlingkungan. Evaluasi produktivitas sistem pertanaman tumpangsari menunjukkan bahwa nisbah kesetaraan lahanuntuk berbagai kombinasi tanaman, berkisar antara 1,13-2,10.

Karakteristik Ekologi Dan Aspek Silvikultur Eboni (Diospyros Celebica Bakh.) Sulawesi Selatan

This paper describes the ebony (Diospyros celebica Bakh.)site characteristics in Amaro Forest,Barru District, South Sulawesi including its secondary succession to create a favourable conditions for stand establishment. Association analysis shows that a wide variety of lowland species have been identified grows together with the ebony.Physical characteristics rather than chemical fertility of soils show a great value in supporting ebony stand growth.Poor stand with low natural regeneration of these remaining fragmented forests suggest the need to apply enrichment planting and improvement cutting to increase their productivity
