Abstract

The research is aimed to 1) identify types, quantity and utilization of agricultural waste on different type of farming system; 2) determine agricultural waste contribution to household income; and 3) analyze factors influence agricultural waste utilization. Study sites were purposively selected based on the linear slope extends from the edifice of an stratovolcano “Salak" to its' foot, whereas Sukajadi village represented upper-part of watershed area (590-680 m asl) and Cihideung village represented transitional part of watershed area (190-360 m asl). Data collection was conducted on April to June 1999. Sampling frame of the study was farmers' household with various land utilization. Stratification was than used based on waste productivity of various land utilization. A total of 112 farmer families were participated in this study (75 families living in Sukajadi village and 37 families living in Cihideung IIir Village). Data was collected using a structured questionnaire. A descriptive and statistical analysis suet: as t-test, Pearson-R, Chi Square and Regression analysis were applied during data analysis. The results of this research showed that agricultural wastes that were produced in both villages originated from plant and animal sources. The farmer utilized plant and animal wastes, such as wood as firewood, branches and leaves of tree, and hay mixed with manure for organic fertilizer. The average of the farming waste in Sukajadi Village is 563.6 kg/month with contributed 92.6 % of total farming waste, while at Cihideung llir village is 895.8 kg/month contributed 88.0% of total farming waste.
