and coconut, manggo, rambutan, banana and peniaple. The limiting<br />

factors are water inundation and low nutrient content<br />

MU 18 (deep peat with peat depth >3 meters, peat depth localized<br />

areas reach 6 to 9 meters). This unit is not suitable for agriculture,<br />

recommended for conservation due to it’s fragile ecosystem.<br />

PMU 19 (levee) both unit are moderately suitable for coconut, coffee,<br />

duku, durian, manggoesten, rambutan pineaple, mung bean, long<br />

bean, soy bean, peanut, mustard, sweet potato and cassava. The<br />

limiting factors are low nutrient and water inundation<br />

PMU 11, 12, 20, 21, 22 and 23 (swalle, river backswamp, narrow<br />

criver valley, alluvio-marine deposits dominated by aquepts and<br />

aquents soil are moderately suitable for paddy. The major limiting<br />

factors is low nutrient availability<br />

PMU 24 and 28 (alluvial plain and undulating tectonic plain), both unit<br />

are moderately to marginally suitable for rubber, oil palm and paddy.<br />

The major limiting factor is low nutrient availoability and drainage<br />

assessibility.<br />

PMU 25, 26 and 27 (undulating to rolling tectonic plain) are suitable<br />

for rubber, oil palm, cacao, clove, banana, coconut, duku, durian,<br />

papaya, banan. The limiting factors are low nutrient and erosion<br />

hazard.<br />

Landuse Recommendations<br />

Numerous potential land-use for certain crops are feasible and can be<br />

identified by land evaluation of each physiographic mapping unit. To<br />

interpret the combination of land suitability class, screening is<br />

necessary based on the priority of regional/district development<br />

(Rencana Tata Ruang Daerah) and existing landuse. In the screening<br />

for annual food crops and vegetable crops, only S1 and S2 classes<br />

are considered, but for the perennial tree crops, S3 or marginally<br />

suitable class is also included because of the higher priority of the<br />

current project on perennial tree crops suitability evaluation.<br />

The approach in screening of land suitability is given in Table 2. The<br />

land that is currently being utilized, especially for perennial tree crops/<br />

estate crops and paddy field fields are left as such as long as they fall<br />

into suitable class. Those lands may be recommended for<br />

intensification for increasing their productivity. Land that currently are<br />

not optimally used or not being used such as shrub, conversion forest,<br />

or absentee agricultural land were recommended for extensification<br />

for other suitable commodities. Landuse recommendation for Aceh<br />

Barat district coastal areas post calamity is presented in Table 3 and<br />

Figure 1 (Agricultural Recommendation map for West Coast of Aceh<br />

Barat District).<br />
