Bulukerto Village, Bumiaji District, Batu City is a village that is famous for its apple farming, but currently, the productivity of apples has decreased. The area of Arabica coffee plant development in Bulukerto Village is still not optimal. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential for developing arabica coffee plants based on the level of land suitability in Bulukerto Village, Bumiaji District, Batu City. The determination of sample points was based on the Land Map Unit and continued with soil sampling. The indicators observed in this study were water availability (wa) which consisted of annual rainfall and dry month length, altitude (h), slope (eh), root media (rc) which consisted of effective depth and soil texture, rocks in surface (s), drainage (oa), nutrient retention (nr) consisting of pH, organic C and cation exchange capacity, then available nutrients (n) consisting of total N, available P, and exchangeable K. Data analysis for actual land suitability used the method of comparing or matching data between actual land conditions and growing conditions for Arabica coffee plants. The results showed that the land condition in Bulukerto Village, Bumiaji District, Batu City, in general, has the potential for developing Arabica coffee, with potential land suitability indicating that an area of 438,77 ha of land has class S1 (suitable) and an area of 82,62 ha of land has class S2 (moderately suitable) with some limiting factors.
Many Indonesian landfills include the waste that has the potential to be used as an alternative fuel in the cement industry. It is converted into RDF to enable cement manufacturers to use waste. The research was conducted to know the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) potential of 3 landfills (Bantargebang, Sumur Batu, and Cipayung) as a renewable fuel. Before processing, MSW is characterised because there are quality standards that the waste must meet before being used as fuel. That is a quantitative study combining a literature review and laboratory test methods. The parameters that have been measured from the three sample sites were water content, ash content, volatile level, and calorific value. The results showed that the total energy value acquired from Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) resources of Bantargebang, Sumur Batu, and Cipayung landfills was 2742.14, 2741.24, and 2671.32 kcal/kg, respectively. In addition, based on the water content at the three sample locations, only rubber samples qualified for RDF processing. In contrast, rubber was the sole component that did not match the processing conditions to become RDF based on ash content. Furthermore, the volatile level of the three research sites meets the RDF standard.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
