Feasibility analysis of hedgerow agricultural based on mangosteen plants

Abstract

Abstract This research aimed to determine the feasibility analysis of a farming mangosteen- based on the hedgerow farming systems. The research was conducted in Tanah Karaeng Bili-bili Village, Manuju Sub-District, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi Province. The research was designed using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with four different treatments. Financial analysis was applied to the data on maize, stover production, and biomass, which were obtained in one harvest season. While productivity data obtained by assuming that this treatment carried out intensively, three times a year. As a result, the treatment of mangosteen hedgerow, gamal, maize, and miscanthus (P1) farming systems, mangosteen hedgerow farming systems, gamal, corn, and setaria (P2), mangosteen hedgerow, gamal, corn, and elephant grass systems (P3) at the beginning of farming years 1 -6 have made a great benefit. The highest revenue obtained from the P3 treatment and the lowest one from the control treatment of P0 (mangosteen hedgerow agriculture system, mamal, corn). This study proves that the integrated hedgerow farming systems could increase farmers’ income and very worthy of being applied to a marginal dry land, particularly in the skewed topography in the future.
