Agroforestry system recently developed by the community to meet their needs. But many people’s don’t understand yet to select suitability plants on the agroforestry land. This study aims to determine the land characteristics and components of agroforestry in District Sesean, Toraja District. This research caried out in the way comparethe requireiment of plants and charactristic at land. Plants in research location are robusta coffee, cocoa, banana, mangosteen, buangin (pine mountain), aren, bamboo betung, and uru. The result of research indicated land suitability of plants are moderately suitable (S2) to marginal suitable (S3). Limitation factors that limit plant growth is predominantly rainfall and also temperature, but both of these limiting factors are difficult and can not be repaired.

Agroforestry system has been recently developed by the community to meet their needs. However, many people do not understand yet to select suitability plants on the agroforestry land. This research aims to determine the land suitability of agroforestry components in Pangli sub-district, Sesean District, Toraja Regency. This research carried out in the way comparing the requirement of plants and characteristic at land. Plants in research location were Robusta coffee, cocoa, banana, mangos-teen, Buangin (pine-mountain), sugar palm, Betung bamboo, and Elmerilla Ovalis. The result of the research indicated that the land suitability of plants was moderately suitable (S2) to marginal suitable (S3). Limitation factors that limit plant growth are predominantly rainfall and also temperature, but both of these limiting factors are difficult, and they cannot be repaired.
