Characteristics, potential, and management of Ultisols for agrilcultural upland development in Indonesia Ultisols occupied almost 25% of total Indonesian land surface. The deep profiles and moderate to high cation exchange capacities of the soil make the soil has an important role in agricultural upland development. Almost all kinds of crops are able to grow and develop in this soil, except limited by climate and relief. The natural chemical fertility of Ultisols is mostly restricted on the A horizon with low organic matter content. Major plant nutrients such as phosphorous and potassium are often deficient in Ultisols, while acid to very acid soil reaction and high aluminum saturation were also specific properties of Ultisols that restrict plant growth. The presence of argillic horizon in the soil influences soil physical properties such as reduction of both macro and micropores, enlargement of surface runoff and finally supporting the soil erosion. Most of studies indicated that liming, alley cropping, and fertilizing by organic and unorganic fertilizers could overcome some constraints in Ultisols. Utilization of Ultisols would be no problem for estate crops, but for food crops the chemical properties were generally a constraint that not so easy to overcome by farmer, due to the low economical condition and minimum knowledge.
