Abstract

This research aims to determine the land suitability analysis of elephant grass, setaria and legume groups, and knowledge of potential land suitability and improvement efforts. The method used is the matching method to obtain results from land suitability evaluation, land characteristics and quality data with land suitability criteria for elephant grass plants (Pennisetum purpureum SCHUM.), setaria plants (setaria sphacelata), and legume group plants. The research results obtained were at point 1 with marginal criteria (S3, war). Next, point 2 and point 4 get marginal criteria (S3, nr,na), and point 3 gets marginal criteria (S3,wa,na,na). This is due to several limiting factors at the research location, namely, drainage, wet saturation, and N-Total and K2O which are classified as very low (SR). Efforts to improve the land include improving the drainage system, such as constructing drainage channels, liming and applying fertilizer to the land of the Tandos Nursery Center with a medium to high level of tillage. so that based on these improvement efforts, potential land suitability for elephant grass, setaria and legume groups is obtained at points 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the land of the Tandos Nursery Center, Bumi Beringin Village, North Luwuk District, namely at points 1 and 3 of the S1 criteria ( very suitable) at points 2 and 4 with criteria S1 (very suitable).
