| Summary: | The development of dry land in the province of Papua were directed not only to
commodities such as coffee, cocoa, and coconut but also for the development of upland rice,
soybean, and corn. Corn has the largest composition for feed, industrial raw materials,
edible oil, starch, and drinks. In agricultural development policy of Papua province, the
government set the development of maize as one of the priority food commodities in addition
to rice and soybeans. But productivity is less than 1.8 tons per hectare, while the results of
the assessment of more than 10 tonnes per ha. This is due to the low productivity of yield
improvement technologies (seeds, fertilizers) are not yet fully mastered farmers and socioeconomic
factors (a scarcity of capital). Need encouragement for improved productivity
include Integrated Crop Management approaches in maize. The use of fertilizers such as
Urea 250 kg + 100 kg SP-36 + KCl 100 kg per ha could increase the productivity of maize.
There are 4,445,871 ha for maize development in Papua.
