Value chain of cocopeat bio-textiles for reclamation of degraded land in Indonesia

Abstract Soil degradation is a serious problem in Indonesia and the world. To solve such it can use coco peat derived from coconut fiber, which source very abundant Indonesia. The research aimed to understand impact of bio-textile application prevent run-off erosion indicated by cover crop growing. material used was cocopeat pressed block at dimension 30 cm x 2.5 thickness. It completed seed coating fast-growing legume calopo ( Calopogonium mucunoides Desv) with arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi, N-fixing bacteria, P- K-solubilizing bacteria. Bio-textiles were installed plots sloping area Adaro Mining Company, South Kalimantan, September 2018 March 2019. result that seeds germinated around 30–40 days after planting their biomass covering plot almost up 100% five months, plates still good function until six months observation field. We hope this innovation provide solution landslides, increase economic value-added chain cocopeat.
