Abstract. Farikha KN, Arlysia V, Raharjo YAA, Santika YE, Deristani A, Setyawan AD. 2025. Traditional knowledge of karst land management in Gunung Sewu, Java, Indonesia. Intl J Trop Drylands 9: 1-9. Karst is a landscape formed from the dissolution of rocks, particularly limestone, that are easily soluble in water. With the development of appropriate land management strategies, the karst area can be utilized as a productive and sustainable agricultural region. This research aims to understand how the community manages karst land by utilizing traditional knowledge in the villages of Songbledeg, Ketos, and Paranggupito of Wonogiri District, Central Java, Indonesia. The research employed qualitative method with data collection used interviews and field observations. Interviews was conducted using accidental sampling techniques, with questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents from the three research areas. The data was then analyzed using descriptively. The results show that most of the land is used to meet food and economic needs in the form of dry field (tegalan), rain-fed rice field (sawah tadah hujan), forest garden (kebon), homegarden (pekarangan), and vacant land. On rain-fed rice field that relies on rainwater, organic fertilizer is applied approximately two months before planting, continued with direct planting using rice seeds and the application of limestone to suppress insect pests. Since land productivity is highly dependent on rainfall, planting is typically done once a year or when the rainy season begins. To sustain their need, the farmers also plant drought-resistant crops such as peanuts (Arachis hypogaea), chili (Capsicum frutescens), and turmeric (Curcuma longa), as well as woody plants such as petai (Parkia speciosa), teak (Tectona grandis), etc. The local wisdom of Gesik Deso was conducted for clearing agricultural land at the end of dry season before rice planting. Additionally, any unused land is also utilized by the community for livestock, including cattle, goats, chickens, and ducks.
