Abstract

This Study has purpose of to determine the permeability characteristics and the electrical properties of the soil in guava and dragon fruit plantations. The measured land is peatland in the village of Rasau, West Kalimantan. The method for permeability (Falling Head) and electricity uses the Electrical Conductivity tool. Obtained from parameter values such as EC (Electrical Conductivity). At a depth of 350 cm -345 cm has a range of values of 0.02 ds -1 to 0.11 ds m-1, from that depth a soil permeability value of 4,198 x 10-5 cm s-1 is obtained. At a depth of 500 cm - 590 cm it has a range of values of 0.02 ds m -1 to 0.22 ds m-1 and gets a soil permeability value of 7,185 x 10-5 cm s-1. When the permeability value is small, the EC value will also be smaller so that the resulting porosity is also low.
