Ngadisari Village is located in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, Mount Bromo,
and has strong natural tourism potential. However, its agricultural practices do not yet follow
conservation principles or fully support agro-tourism development. This study has been completed
to evaluate the implementation of conservation agriculture in the cultivation of main crops (potatoes,
onions, and cabbage) according to conservation agriculture principles. The study was conducted in
Ngadisari Village, Sukapura District, Probolinggo, East Java, Indonesia from 2022 to 2023. Located
at 1,950 m above sea level, the area has high rainfall (3,577 mm/year), cool temperatures (10–20°C),
sloped land, and light-textured soil. Results show that most of the land in Ngadisari is used for
agricultural practices that do not fully align with conservation agriculture principles. However,
terracing has been implemented, reinforced by annual plants like pine or elephant grass, which
has helped reduce soil slope. Land preparation is intensively conducted to a depth of over 30 cm.
Most farming is rainfed, leaving fields bare during the dry season. Mixed cropping or two-crop
intercropping is more common than monoculture, with potatoes, onions, and cabbage as the most
dominant crops.
