Empowerment of Forest Production

Empowerment of Forest Production

Sengon are perennials that grow rapidly and tend to grow anywhere. Sengon many advantages plants. One can improve soil fertility. Sengon found in this region is Sengon Albazia. Sengon is also a major producer of wood for now. Height of the tree can reach 25-45 feet. Until the age of 5 years of growth to reach 4 meters / year. Can be harvested after 5-9 years. 10-40 m3/hektar/tahun timber production potential, or 250m3 per hectare. Wood to wood can sengon dimanfatkan construction / building, matches container, pulp, board / wood, sawing, molding, furniture, firewood and charcoal. The leaves are used as animal feed. Her skin is used for tanning, sometimes as a substitute for soap. Planted as shade trees, ornamental plants, reforestation and afforestation. Sengon woodworking easier: Easily sawed, planed, carved, drilled, sanded, and diplitur, and not easily broken when nailed. For now all use sengon, logs have high economic value and usefulness of the variables, and the seed can be obtained sengon everywhere.

Sengon development should be directed to the dry land and the critical (page, dried, mixed farms, and forests). The policy direction is confirmed by the Economic Community Empowerment Program is to spread "Sengonisasi movement", which is planted _ Sengon in every inch of vacant land is very important in agroforestry systems.

Critical land in East Java is still too much, especially the more serious is located in the community and forest land in a specific policy to encourage the growth of government is to promote the greening program of economic reality. The recommended types of Sengon _ maize / cassava / beans, because these plants in addition to greening goals while increasing revenue.
These plants require IklimTemperatur condition began 15-40 degrees Celsius, and optimum range is 22 s / d 28 degrees Celsius, rainfall ranges from 750-2500 mm / year with dry months to 6 months 2. Sengon also can grow on various soil types, pH range of depths (> 50 cm), friable consistency (moist), permeability of the drainage, good media, fertility, texture clay and clay dust from 4.5 to 8.2 range, and the optimum pH range of 5.5 to 7.8. Decrease in salinity can occur due to DHL> 1 dS / m.Penurunan results can be as high as 50% if DHL up to 6 dS / m atauESP reached 20%, and unable to produce 9dS DHLmencapai / m. These plants require lots of fertilizer, organic fertilizers, especially on growth. Success is strongly influenced by the location of the biophysical conditions that will be planted.

How far depends on the suitability of the match between the requirements of growing crops by planting site biophysical conditions. Sesuaidengan biophysical conditions that do not lead to the growth conditions needed tanamanakan disturbed, so it is not economically profitable crops. Jember with forests sengonquite broad, known to be quite successful and support the local economy. In addition the area is mostly a hilly area that has a fairly steep slopes and high rainfall. Based on these observations it is more closely perludikaji the suitability of land for crops sengon (Paraserianthes falcatari).

By knowing the suitability of the land, then this information can be used for the basis of technical considerations for the development of public forests in Jember. Level of suitability of land will also be displayed by the timber productivity (per volume) within a specified period. A species of plants can survive despite low productivity, but here can not get into the main classes, depending on such factors in determining land suitability classes. Although not physically but in reality is socially considered sesuai.Sengon have a very wide natural distribution, this plant is widely grown in tropical areas, is a pioneer species, mainly located in secondary lowland rain forest or mountain forests can grow well on rendah.Tanaman Sengonregosol soil, alluvial, and latosol clay loam-textured sandy or dusty with soil acidity around pH 6-7. Sengon can grow from coast to land at an altitude of 1800 meters above sea level (0 s / d 1800 m above sea level). Optimum height of land to grow _ 0 s / d 800 mdpl.Tanaman can adapt and humid monsoon climate with rainfall 200-2700 mm / year with dry months to 4 months. Can be grown on barren land without fertilizer sekalipun.Tidak thrives in poor well drained land. Including species that require light and growth requires a temperature of about 18 degrees to 27 degrees Celsius.This is because the plant species of tropical plants. Sengon plants need moisture about 50% -75%.his species is one of the fastest growing in the world, capable of growing by 8 m / year in the first year of planting.

Response of farmers to grow Sengon on dry land (yard, moor, gardens, and land abandonment) is quite large. To further assist the response of the population need for a community forest Sengon Development Zone as a center for storing and distributing the results of their farm production / Sengon forest. For that we need socialization to the remote corners of the village so that people are more enthusiastic to plant sengon.
