Manggis memiliki potensi di bidang ekonomi, data statistik tahun 2015 menunjukkan bahwa ekspor manggis mencapai nilai USD 17.2 juta. Kecamatan Pauh dipilih sebagai sentra pengembangan perkebunan manggis di Kota Padang. Pengembangan ini harus didasari dengan kesesuaian lahan sehingga tanaman manggis dapat tumbuh selaras dengan iklim dan kondisi lahan. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Kecamatan Pauh Kota Padang. Metoda yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metoda survei dengan beberapa tahapan yaitu persiapan, pra survei, survei utama, analisis di laboratorium, dan pengolahan data. Evaluasi kesesuaian lahan dilakukan dengan metoda matching yaitu membandingkan nilai kualitas dan karakteristik lahan dengan persyaratan tumbuh tanaman. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, didapatkan kesesuaian lahan untuk tanaman manggis diklasifikasikan ke dalam kelas sesuai marjinal (S3) dengan sub kelas S3nr untuk SL1,2,3,4,7,8,9,11,15; sub kelas S3nr,eh untuk SL5 dan SL10; subkelas S3eh untuk SL14. Namun, pada satuan lahan SL6,12,13, dan 16 didapatkan kelas kesesuaian cukup sesuai (S2) dengan subkelas S2wa,nr untuk SL6 dan SL16; S2wa,rc,nr,eh untuk SL12; dan S2wa,rc,nr untuk SL13. Faktor pembatas yang umum pada masing-masing lahan adalah retensi hara (nr) dan bahaya erosi/lereng (eh). Terdapat 3 kelurahan (Lambung Bukit, Limau Manis, dan Limau Manis Selatan) di Kecamatan Pauh yang memiliki potensi paling besar untuk dikembangkan sebagai wilayah pengembangan perkebunan manggis dengan total luas 5,862 ha.
Pauh District was chosen as mangosteen plantation development centre in Padang City. This development should be based on the land suitability so that the mangosteen plant are able to grow according to the climate and soil conditions. This research was conducted in Pauh District, Padang City and Soil Science Laboratory Andalas University. This study used a survey method that consisted of preparation, pre-survey, the main surveiy, laboratory analysis, and data processing. Evaluation of land suitability was done with matching method which compare the characteristics of land suitability for mangosteen growth. The results of research showed that land suitability for mangosteen was classified into S3 (marginally suitable) with subclass S3nr for land unit SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4, SL7, SL8, SL9, SL11, SL15; subclass S3eh for land unit SL14; subclass S3nr,eh for land unit SL5 and SL10. Land unit SL6, SL12, SL13, and SL16 were classified into S2 (moderately suitable) with subclass S2wa,nr for land unit SL6 and SL16; subclass S2wa,rc,nr,eh for land unit SL12; subclass S2wa,rc,nr for land unit SL13. The limiting factors was common to each land unit were nutrient retention (nr) and erosion (eh). There are 3 villages (Lambung Bukit, Limau Manis, and South Limau Manis) in Pauh District which have the greatest potential to be developed as mangosteen plantation development areas with total area was 5,862.42 ha.
