Land characteristics are factors that affect crop productivity. Different conditions of land characteristics will cause differences in crop productivity. Evaluation of land suitability can be used as a basis in assessing land quality to determine the factors of land characteristics that cause differences in crop productivity. The purpose of this study was to determine actual land suitability for cayenne pepper, determine which land characteristic affect crop productivity, and modify land suitability based on actual productivity suitability classes. This study was conducted in Wagir District, Malang Regency with a survey method on 8 Land Map Units (LMU) with 42 observation points. Quantitative parameters observed in this study include soil texture, pH, CEC, C-Organic, base saturation, N-total, P-available, exchangeable K, Ca, Mg, Na, and productivity of cayenne pepper in the field. Data analysis was performed by correlation test and multiple regression with the stepwise method. The results showed the actual land suitability class of cayenne pepper in the study area was S3 and N. Modifications to the characteristics of the land that most influence the productivity of cayenne pepper in the field, namely the pH of the soil produce new criteria with classes S1: 6.0-7.6; S2: 5,7–6,0; S3: 4,6-5,7; and N: <4,6. The land suitability assessment using the modified criteria resulted in the S3 conformity class, which was similar to the percentage productivity class and the N conformity class that was similar to the percentage productivity class.

Fruit plants in Kediri Regency are classified as having good economic potential, one of which is pineapple. Pineapple plants in Kediri Regency have differences in productivity in each sub-district. The results of interviews with local farmers indicated that the Supiturung Micro Watersheds in Plosoklaten District had low pineapple productivity and were not yet optimal. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the factors causing differences and less optimal productivity of pineapples in the Supiturung Micro Watersheds and analyze the land suitability assessment of pineapple plants in the region. This study used a survey method with a physiographic approach to 10 Land Map Units (LMU) and determined 20 observation points as representatives. Data analysis was performed through correlation and multiple regression tests with the stepwise method to determine the land characteristics that most significantly affected pineapple productivity. Modification of the suitability class and modification of the criteria was carried out utilizing boundary line analysis, with class boundaries according to FAO (1976), namely class S1 (80-100%), S2 (60-80%), S3 (40-60%), and N (<40%) of the potential productivity. The land suitability evaluation results of pineapple plants in the Supiturung Micro Watersheds were included in land suitability classes S2, S3, and N. Based on the stepwise method analysis, the texture is a significant characteristic affecting the productivity of pineapples (p <0.05) with a correlation coefficient value of 0.838. The modification of land suitability criteria with boundary line analysis resulted in changes in one land characteristic, namely soil texture S2, S3, and N. Initially, the rough class included in the N class was changed to S2 level along with the slightly rough level.

This study aimed to determine the suitability of Cilembu sweet potato land. Land suitability assessment in this study was carried out by a method of matching between crop productivity and land characteristics as parameters with land suitability class criteria that have been prepared based on usage requirements or growing requirements of plants or other commodities evaluated. The results showed that 33% of the area in Sumedang district was physically very suitable for planting Cilembu sweet potato which covers the area of origin of Cilembu sweet potato as well as the surrounding area and areas in the north of the district. High yam productivity is found in the west of the district, including the area of origin of Cilembu sweet potatoes and their surroundings. The relationship of land suitability between Cilembu yam and productivity of Cilembu yam is shown by the alignment areas that are in harmony, (-), not suitable (+) and not suitable. The alignment areas that need attention are the aligned (-) and non-aligned (+) regions.

Satellite remote sensing technologies have a high potential in applications for evaluating land conditions and can facilitate optimized planning for agricultural sectors. However, misinformed land selection decisions limit crop yields and increase production-related costs to farmers. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to develop a land suitability assessment system using satellite remote sensing-derived soil-vegetation indicators. A multicriteria decision analysis was conducted by integrating weighted linear combinations and fuzzy multicriteria analyses in a GIS platform for suitability assessment using the following eight criteria: elevation, slope, and LST vegetation indices (SAVI, ARVI, SARVI, MSAVI, and OSAVI). The relative priorities of the indicators were identified using a fuzzy expert system. Furthermore, the results of the land suitability assessment were evaluated by ground truthed yield data. In addition, a yield estimation method was developed using indices representing influential factors. The analysis utilizing equal weights showed that 43% of the land (1832 km2) was highly suitable, 41% of the land (1747 km2) was moderately suitable, and 10% of the land (426 km2) was marginally suitable for improved yield productions. Alternatively, expert knowledge was also considered, along with references, when using the fuzzy membership function; as a result, 48% of the land (2045 km2) was identified as being highly suitable; 39% of the land (2045 km2) was identified as being moderately suitable, and 7% of the land (298 km2) was identified as being marginally suitable. Additionally, 6% (256 km2) of the land was described as not suitable by both methods. Moreover, the yield estimation using SAVI (R2 = 77.3%), ARVI (R2 = 68.9%), SARVI (R2 = 71.1%), MSAVI (R2 = 74.5%) and OSAVI (R2 = 81.2%) showed a good predictive ability. Furthermore, the combined model using these five indices reported the highest accuracy (R2 = 0.839); this model was then applied to develop yield prediction maps for the corresponding years (2017–2020). This research suggests that satellite remote sensing methods in GIS platforms are an effective and convenient way for agricultural land-use planners and land policy makers to select suitable cultivable land areas with potential for increased agricultural production.
