Abstract

Agroforestry is a land management system that integrates trees with agricultural or livestock crops, providing multiple benefits such as increased productivity, increased soil fertility, and environmental sustainability. The objective of research is to determine the components of the hamlet agroforestry cropping pattern in Liliboi Village, West Leihitu District and its contribution. Data were obtained from 15 purposively selected dusung agroforestry farmers through field observations, interviews, and literature review. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods. The results showed that the TAB agrisilviculture cropping pattern was more widely applied by the community. The TAB agrisilviculture cropping pattern with a combination of nutmeg, cloves, langsat, durian, walnut, cassava and banana plants provided an annual income IDR 23,300,000 while the random agrisilviculture cropping pattern with a combination of coconut, cloves, nutmeg, langsat, durian, langsat and bamboo plants provided an annual income of IDR 37,700,000. Meanwhile, the largest contribution was obtained from the TAB (Trees Along Border) Agrisilviculture pattern, namely 63.85%, while the lowest was the Random Agrisilviculture pattern with a contribution of 36.15%.
