<p>ABSTRAK<br />Produktivitas kelapa sawit rakyat di Provinsi Lampung masih relatif<br />rendah dibanding potensi produktivitas optimal. Berkenaan dengan hal itu,<br />dari bulan Februari sampai dengan September 2012 dilakukan kajian<br />dengan tujuan mengidentifikasi karakteristik agroekologi dan teknis<br />pengelolaan kebun kelapa sawit rakyat yang berpeluang diperbaiki agar<br />produktivitas kebun kelapa sawit rakyat meningkat. Kebun kelapa sawit<br />rakyat yang diidentifikasi dipilih secara acak di tujuh kabupaten di<br />Provinsi Lampung. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui survei dan<br />wawancara petani. Rata-rata produksi tandan buah segar (TBS) kebun<br />kelapa sawit rakyat di Lampung masih rendah (15 ton/hektar/tahun).<br />Produksi ini berpeluang ditingkatkan melalui penerapan teknologi yang<br />dapat mengatasi sifat-sifat agroekologi sebagai faktor pembatas<br />pertumbuhan dan produksi kelapa sawit, seperti ketersediaan air, retensi<br />hara, dan bahaya erosi. Teknologi yang dibutuhkan untuk mengatasi<br />kendala tersebut antara lain membangun irigasi suplemen, meningkatkan<br />kemampuan tanah dalam menyimpan air, memperbanyak penggunaan<br />bahan organik dan kapur, serta mengaplikasikan teknologi konservasi<br />tanah dan air. Produktivitas kebun kelapa sawit rakyat akan berpeluang<br />meningkat seiring dengan bertambahnya umur tanaman, serta<br />meningkatnya penggunaan pupuk organik untuk tanaman yang telah<br />menghasilkan (TM) dan pupuk NPK untuk tanaman belum menghasilkan<br />(TBM). Pembinaan petani perlu diintensifkan untuk meningkatkan<br />kesadaran petani akan pentingnya memupuk TBM. Hasil analisis<br />mengindikasikan bahwa pemupukan NPK untuk TBM berkorelasi positif<br />dengan produktivitas kelapa sawit.<br />Kata kunci: Elaeis guineensis Jacq., agroekologi, pengelolaan kebun<br />kelapa sawit rakyat, produktivitas</p><p>ABSTRACT<br />Productivity of smallholder oil palm in Lampung province is still<br />relatively low compared to the potential for optimal productivity. A study<br />was conducted with regard to that, from February to September 2012 to<br />identify the agroecological characteristics and technical management of<br />smallholder oil palm plantations that likely to be improved in order to<br />increase the productivity of oil palm of smallholder. Smallholder<br />plantations studied were randomly selected, each 1 sites in seven districts<br />in Lampung Province and data collection was conducted through surveys<br />and interviews of farmers. Average production of fresh fruit bunches<br />(FFB) of smallholder oil palm plantations in Lampung are still low (15<br />tons/hectare/year). The production is likely to be enhanced through the<br />application of technology that is able to cope with the nature of<br />agroecology as the constraints of growth and production of oil palm,<br />namely the availability of water, nutrient retention, and erosion hazard.<br />The technology needed to overcome the obstacles include supplementing<br />irrigation, increasing the soil's ability to store water, multiplying the use<br />of organic materials and lime, and applying soil and water conservation<br />technologies. Besides that, oil palm productivity of smallholder likely<br />increase, along with the increasing age of the plant, the growing use of<br />organic fertilizer for plants that have produced (TM) and NPK fertilizer<br />for immature plants (TBM). Development of farmers needs to be<br />intensified to increase farmers' awareness of the importance of fertilizing<br />the TBM. The results of the analysis indicated that NPK fertilization for<br />TBM positively correlated with the productivity of oil palm.<br />Keywords: Elaeis guineens</p>
