by Momon S Imanudin and Edi Armanto Abstract Reclamation of tidal lowland at South Sumatra had been conducted since 1961. Land productivity at this area so far had still varied. The success of rice production at level of 6 ton/ha at Delta Telang I area (A/B Type) was not followed by rice production at other areas. The field study was conducted at two land typologies consisting of wet land at Delta Telang I and dry land at Delta Saleh. Improvement of water management was done by drainage system for wet land type (Telang I) and water retention in combination with [...]

by Momon Sodik Imanudin, Robiyanto H Susando, and Bistok Simanjuntak The research objectives were to develop block emitter having S, Y, and Phi types suitable for high pressure condition in drip irrigations system and to test and compare the discharge for each type of emitter in the laboratory. Stages in this research were as follows: 1) designing block type of emitter; 2) developing of block structure media; 3) developing structure block; 4) installing and testing the emitter in the laboratory; and 5) Analyzing data. Results of laboratory test showed that the average discharge for each emitter Phi, S, and Y [...]

by Imanudin M.S, Armanto E, Susanto, R.H dan Bernas, S.M. Abstract. The research objective is to evaluate the water status in the tertiary block of tidal lowland for developing water management strategies and cropping pattern for food crop agriculture. The field study was conducted at reclaimed-tidal swamp areas having A typology (wet) located at Telang Karya Village, Primer 8, Delta Telang I. The method used was field action research. Corn was cultivated as a second crop indicator. For corn cultivation, the soil condition should be dry in which the water should be at the depth of 40-50 cm. The main [...]

by Momon Sodik Imanudin The general objective of this study was to develop operational strategy of water table control at reclaimed tidal lowland area for food crops cultivation. The used crop indicators were rice and corn. The study area is reclaimed tidal lowland areas at Delta Telang I Primer 8 as representative of land typology A and at Delta Saleh Primer 10 as representative of land typology C. The agro-hydrology monitoring was conducted at tertiary block 4 and 6 on Delta Saleh as well as tertiary block 2 and 5 on Delta Telang I. The concept of tidal lowland development [...]

by Lina Marlina, Momon Sodik Imanudin, and Satria J Priatna Since 1981 the tidal lowland of Telang II deltaic area had reclaimed. It is about 13.800 hectares of the areas has potentially for agriculture. Currently the area has high pressure to change the land use for food to estate crop. Therefore need to do research on the study of farming systems to see agricultural production in tidal lowland. Most of the land in the Delta Telang II planted with oil palm , rice and corn , especially in the village of Sukatani , Sukadamai Village and Village Mulyasari. The purpose [...]

by Momon Sodik Imanudin, Satria J Priatna, Elisa Wildayana, and M. Edi Armanto Agriculture and irrigation policies in the tidal wetlands are often too general, thus at the level of farm units they are often inaccurate in term of quality and quantity. The research purpose was to analyze the groundwater levels and to determine the effect of groundwater levels in relation to some soil chemical characters in tidal wetlands P17-5S Mulyasari village Delta Telang II Banyuasin.Indicators of potential land can be analyzed from parameters of variability of soil acidity, Al and Fe content, organic matter and phosphorus and nitrogen status [...]

A. Syarifudin, M. S. Imanudin, A. S. Moerwanto, M. Yazid, and F. X. Suryadi Canal erosion is one of the technical issues in tidal lowland agriculture. It is influenced by water flow in the canal under a designated water network system. This study aims at exploring several aspects related to the erosion at the secondary canal in tidal lowlands of Delta Telang I, Banyuasin District, South Sumatra. A survey was conducted to measure canal profiles related to water flow, observe grain size and sediment transport in secondary canal and its implication on the operation and maintenance of water infrastructures. Results [...]
