TEKNIK KONSERVASI TANAH LAHAN KERING UNTUK MENGATASI DEGRADASI LAHAN PADA DESA MOJOREJO, LAMONGAN

Abstract

Abstract
Soil conservation is one important aspect in supporting food security program. It is necessary to
create an area that has a sustainable environment. Mojorejo Village, District Modo, Lamongan,
East Java, has an area of ± 1,406 ha. Most of the area is dry land agro-ecosystem including
upland lowland dry climate. Topography is undulating to hilly with deep and rocky limestone
solum. In creating a sustainable environment, research has been conducted in the village on
system conditions of dryland soil conservation techniques to address land degradation. The
study aims to look at the soil conservation and soil conservation technologies recommended in
situ, in order to address land degradation. Observations suitability for some commodities show
that land can be developed for agricultural commodities in the village square Mojorejo 878.02
ha (92.56%), while the remaining area of 70.54 ha (7.22 %) could not be developed for
agriculture because of the form settlement and land biophysical conditions do not allow. There
is a potential source of water to irrigate rice fields allowed. On mixed farms that have slopes of
8-15%, the maximum proportion of annual crops is 50 % with a permanent stone terracing,
while mixed farms on the slopes of 15-25%, the maximum proportion of annual crops is 30% with
a permanent stone bench terraces.
