Overview

Evaluates land suitability for red chili cultivation in volcanic regions, suggesting limitations in soil nutrient retention.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess land suitability for red chili cultivation in areas affected by the Mount Sinabung eruption.
  • Survey-based approach combining spatial and descriptive analyses
  • Generated 13 Land Map Units (LMUs) using soil type, elevation, and slope data
  • Compared land characteristics with crop growth requirements using a matching technique.
  • Both study sites are classified as not suitable (N) for red chili cultivation, with low overall Land Suitability Index (LSI)
  • Nutrient retention and erosion hazard are identified as dominant limiting factors
  • Individual land characteristics in some areas fall within S1-S3 suitability range despite overall low LSI.
