Agricultural Area, Leading Commodities, South ButonAbstract
The South Buton Regency has a wide variety of land types, with hilly topography and calcareous, lateritic, and volcanic soils that influence the use of agricultural land and horticultural crops in efforts to develop agricultural areas and leading commodities in each region to improve community welfare through the agricultural sector. The purpose of this study is to map land suitability in each subdistrict in South Buton Regency for the analysis of agricultural area development and leading commodities. The methods used in this research were the collection of physical spatial data in the form of geology, land use/land cover, hydrology, slope, elevation above sea level, river basin, and area status. The land survey included the collection of relevant maps, the creation of field work maps, and field surveys and observations of the land in each representative land unit. Soil fertility assessment, chemical and physical property analysis were conducted at the depth of soil cultivation using composite methods and laboratory analysis. The suitability level of land for each type of land unit was determined using the LREP (Land Resource Evaluation and Planning Project) method by the Center for Soil and Agroclimate Research, Bogor (1994). The results of the study show that the actual land suitability analysis for the development of potential locations for food and horticultural agriculture as leading commodities in South Buton Regency is for wetland food crops such as paddy rice, which are only found in Sampolawa District, dryland food crops for corn, cassava, and peanuts (Sampolawa District, Batauga District, Lapandewa District, Kadatua District, and West Siompu District), and for horticultural crops, banana plants in Batauga District, citrus plants (Sampolawa District, Batauga District, West Siompu District, and Kadatua District), and onion plants in District and Lapandewa District.
