ABSTRACT: Determination of
land capabilityof Lapang Terpadu Laboratory FP Unila is very relevant. This
researchaims to determining land capability class on each unit of land in the
Lapang Terpadu Laboratory FP Unila. The research was conducted from June to
October 2013, in the Lapang Terpadu Laboratory FP Unila of approximately 6.784 ha area. The materials
used are a set of secondary data which includes climate data, thematic maps,
and chemicals used for soil analysis in the laboratory. The tools used in this
study include: Geographycal Position System (GPS), abney level, ruler, compass,
drill ground, ring samples, plastic bags, cameras, laboratory equipment, and
stationery (ATK). The study was conducted by survey method. Data physical and
chemical properties of the soil obtained by observation in the field and soil
sampling, and then analyzed in the laboratory. Furthermore, the determination of
land capability class is based on inhibiting factors developed by Klingebiel
and Montgomery in 1973. Lapang Terpadu Laboratory FP Unila has class III, IV, V, and VI, with the main
limiting factor for the entire class of land capability is the steepness of the
slopes, except land units 2 is the permeability of the soil rather quickly, and
land units 1 is the threat of flooding. Lapang Terpadu Laboratory FP Unila
dominated by land capability class III with land capability class III sub-P4
and III-C, e2, P4 is an area of 3.989 ha or 53.97%, then successively followed
by the class and sub-class IV land capability -D area of 1,708 ha, or 29.98%,
the V-04 area of 0.737 ha or 10.87%, and the last class VI-E covering an area
of 0.351 ha, or 5.17%.
