Abstract
In Indonesia, it is estimated that there are about 20 million hectares of Alang-alang land, which were caused by shifting cultivation and a decline of soil fertility under growing population pressure. If Alang-alang land can be utilized for extending arable land, this approch expects to be an alternative to extend the transmigration sites without clearing the virgin forest. In this report, some technologies for eradicating Alang-alang grass and rehabilitating that land as a permanent field were discussed by taking the case of South Kalimantan.
