Ten representative pedons from the Bulia micro watershed of Gorontalo Province, Indonesia, were characterized and classified to determine its land quality (LQ) class. Angular blocky, sticky, plastic consistencies and a hard consistency prevailed in the soil structure. In the alluvial plains the soil texture is dominated by the clay fraction, while in the hills and volcanic mountains the sand fraction is dominated. The soils in the Bulia micro watershed also have acid to neutral reaction, with the range of very low to high OC (organic carbon) levels, the reserve of exchangeable bases was dominated by Ca2+ in two series patterns, namely: Ca2+ > Mg+ > Na+ > K+ and Ca2+ > Na+ > Mg+ > K+, cation exchange capacity (CEC) ranged from low to very high, and the base saturation varied from moderate to very high. The alluvial plain is represented by Inceptisol in P1 and Typic Humustepts (P7), also by Oxic Humustepts (P3), then Mollisol on P4 (Typic Argiudolls) and Typic Haplus...

Limbah pertanian, terutama jerami jagung (tebon) yang sangat melimpah dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan baku pakan silase, tetapi masih banyak petani yang belum tahu dan belum bisa untuk membuat pakan silase tersebut. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan ketrampilan petani dalam pembuatan pakan silase di Kelompok Tani Rukun Sejahtera Desa Bualo Kecamatan Paguyaman Kabupaten Boalemo. Guna mencapai tujuan tersebut, maka metode pengabdian masyarakat yang digunakan adalah metode pelatihan dengan teknik ceramah dan tanya jawab, metode praktikum dan pendampingan kepada peserta, serta metode survei menggunakan instrumen kuisioner untuk menilai pengetahuan dan ketrampilan peserta dalam pembuatan pakan silase. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan kegiatan pelatihan dan praktek pembuatan pakan silase terbukti telah mampu memberikan peningkatan pada pengetahuan dan ketrampilan masyarakat, terutama petani tentang pakan silase dan pembuatan...

Agricultural land use planning is essential for a region in developing their agricultural commodities. Boliyohuto region is a region which has the potential for very large land resources, especially for the development of agricultural commodities.The purpose of this study was to see how the development prospects of plantation commodities in the commodity Boliyohuto based economic development as well as physical resources of land. Data analysis method used is the image interpretation, Location Quotient (LQ) and Shift Share Analysis (SSA) to determine the main commodity and Land Suitability Analysis.The analysis showed the extent of the potential for development of superior commodities is an area of 24.655 ha. Then seeded commodities in this region are coconut, coffee, cocoa and cotton. Based on the results analsisi land suitability, land suitability classes for each commodity is moderately suitable (S2), marginally suitable (S3), and is not suitable (N). From these results, the prosp...
