Efforts to increase the productivity of the pepper plant in East Luwu Regency as a leading plantation commodity efficiently can be done through the development of the pepper commodity on suitable lands to achieve optimal productivity. The land suitability criteria for modified pepper plants was based on the Indonesian Center for Agricultural Land Resources Development and Research. This study aims to modify the land suitability criteria for specific locations in East Luwu Regency. The method used in determining the range of land suitability criteria is the deductive method. The location points were determined by purposive sampling technique, namely at locations with high, medium, and low pepper production. The results showed that the range of location climatic characteristics criteria, among others, rainfall (mm) >2.000 were classified as S1 (very suitable), <2,000 and > 3,000 were classified as unsuitable (N). The daily mean temperature of 22.6-32.1°C classified as very suitable (S1), and >34°C classified as unsuitable (N). The characteristics of the landscape and soil include 3-8% slope, good and moderate drainage, medium texture, slightly fine and fine, coarse fragments <5%, soil depth > 100 cm, pH H2O 5.6-<6 and C-organic >1.9% is classified as very suitable (S1), while slope> 30% with very inhibited and fast drainage, coarse texture, coarse fragments> 5%, soil depth <50 cm, pH H2O <5.2 and >8.0, with content c-organic <0.4% is classified as unsuitable (N).
Nutmeg plant (Myristica fragrans Houtt) is a native Indonesian originating spice plant, from Banda Islands Maluku, which until now has not only been developed in Indonesia but has spread to foreign countries including Granada, India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. The Research purpose of this study was to determine the land characteristics (soil and climate) in Banda islands. This study used a qualitative quantitative mix analysis. Quantitative analysis is used in determining the correlation between land characteristics (soil and climate) and nutmeg production in each region. Determination of land characteristics (soil and climate) that have a significant effect using regression analysis. The Next is determination of correlation between land index (storie method) and nutmeg production. The survey was carried out in four main nutmeg producing regions on Banda island, namely, Rajawali village (04 ° 30'33.5 "S -129 ° 54'15.9" E), Tanah Rata village (04 ° 30'52.79 "S -129 ° 54'17.30 "E), Pancabi village (04 ° 32'56.86" S -129 ° 54'08.42 "E) and Walang village (04 ° 32'56.6" S -129 ° 53'48.6 "E).The from supporting factors main high production of nutmeg in Banda island is the soil moisture throughout the year constant, mineral content of easily decayed is high (Plagioclase (45-65%), C-organic or> 2%, CEC> 16 cmol (+) kg , KB 84%, slope (8-15%), pH H2O (6.3 -6.7), soil drainage, no flooding (FO), rough fragments 5 -10%, depth of soil (70 -150 ), rainfall annual (2,406.56 mm / year), maximum temperature (31,01),degree day (9,969.09 ° C) and Humidity Index (2.74). Based on the results of the land index calculation with (method storie) obtained Ic (81.66) and Rc (90.16) entered land suitability class very well (S1), and this was related to high nutmeg productivity.
