Microclimate Characteristics On Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) And Agarwood (Aquilaria malaccensis Lamrk.) Agroforestry System


 In general, oil palm plants are cultivated using a monoculture system. The system is profitable from an economic perspective and harms the environment; one microclimate. One of efforts to reduce negative impact apply agroforestry with agarwood. This research conducted on smallholder plantations in Bukit Kemuning Village, Tapung Hulu Sub District, Kampar Riau Province. was survey method, which done by choosing location intentionally. Determination purposive sampling that is, land found systems agarwood same location. Microclimate observations carried out measuring air temperature, humidity, sunlight intensity. Measurement temperature humidity uses Temperature Humidity Data Logger, while intensity measurement Lux Meter Logger tool. Measurements day week for three months, getting 12 times data retrieval. recording 07.00 am 05.00 pm, 15 minutes intervals. analyzed comparative descriptive analysis. Based results study, it concluded microclimate better than system, where light lower higher system.
