Analysis of Trouble in Dry Land Management and Hills in Ngada District, East Nusa Tenggara Indonesia
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 07
Abstract
The district of Ngada is a high plain of hills and mountains with a very diverse topophysiography. There are some fertile areas, but there are also areas that are dry. In mountainous areas, crops such as coffee, coconut, strawberries, cocoa, and horticultural crops, food crops, and livestock. On dry land, it is difficult for plants to rejuvenate due to rainfall and water availability. Sustainable agriculture should be supported, in particular, with regard to the management of dry land in the region. The purpose of this research is to identify the obstacles that occur in dry land with a dry climate, so it is easier to find solutions to problems or obstacles occurring in the dry land and hills (hill area) of the district of Ngada. The research method used is a library approach by scanning and exploring several journals, books, and documents, as well as other sources of data or information considered relevant to the research. The results of the library show that there are some problems that often arise in the process of dry land management in the district of Ngada, namely the decline in soil fertility due to erosion and water laundering, very steep topography, water availability, and problems in production. Based on these obstacles, alternative solutions can be applied, such as using vegetative or mechanical soil management methods, increasing rainwater harvesting, managing water resources thoroughly, and growing drought-resistant crops.
