Cultural Translatory of Horticulture Plants in Cold Lands and Cabapatenes

Abstract

Dry land is defined as an area of land that has never been filled or watered for most of the year. This type of land can be found from low plains (0–700 m dpl) to high plains (> 700 m dpl). Dry land is one of the resources that has great potential for agricultural development, including both food crops, horticulture, planting, farming, and fishing. The district of Ngada is one of the regions on the island of Flores that has a large area of dry land. This article aims to present the preservation of the cultivation of horticultural crops on dry land and hills, in particular in the territory of Ngada Regency. The method or approach of the study used in this study used the method or library approach (library research). The result is that horticultural commodity prospects are also highly strategic commodities and are continuously pushed to be able to improve the welfare of farmers and the economy. Innovative technologies are used for horticulture cultivation in dry land, such as the use of high-yielding cultivars suitable for dry land and their multiplication, water harvesting practices, integrated nutritional management, mulch, organic farming, and other technologies to improve storage capacity. Various barriers to horticultural cultivation on dry land can be overcome by applying horticultury cultivation technologies in dry lands that include horticultura cultivation through the application of organic fertilizers and bio-fertilizers, mulching, adjustment of planting patterns, and improvement of irrigation systems.
