Soil fertility is the potential of soil to provide sufficient amounts of nutrients in available and balanced forms to ensure maximum plant growth. The fertility status of the soil must be related to the state of the physical and chemical properties of the soil involving fertility in the nutrient needs required of the plant. Land evaluation is needed to determine soil fertility. Land evaluation is a process of assessing the potential of a land for particular use. South Sumatra Province is one of the oil palm producers which distributed throughout Indonesia with an area of 1,060,573 ha and the total production of Fresh Fruit Bunches (TBS) produced in 2013 reaching 2,690,620 tons. Oil palm plantations in South Sumatra reached 10.13% of the total area of oil palm plantations in Indonesia with a total land area of 10,465,020 ha. The high potential of oil palm in South Sumatra is due to the appropriate land. The palm oil plant (Elaeis guineesis Jacq) is an annual plant of the Palmae family that lives in the tropics, and is able to grow well at optimum temperatures between 29 to 30ºC. The desired optimum rainfall of this plant is between 2000 to 2500 mm of year with an even distribution of rain throughout the year without any prolonged dry months. Ideal land conditions for oil palm are those that have fertile and loose soil, pH between 5.0-5.5, deep effective depth without any layers of extinguishment, and marbles between 0-15%. This study aims to evaluate soil fertility on oil palm land (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) in the Oil Palm Research Garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University. The study will be conducted in March-April 2021. Analysis of the chemical properties of the soil (K-dd, N-Total, P-available, and pH) and an analysis of the physical properties of the soil (texture and bulk density). The study used airy survey methods and soil tests. Observation was made directly to the area of oil palm land (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) in the Oil Palm Research Garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Sriwijaya with a research area of 11.3 ha. There are 22 samples are taken (layer 1 and layer 2 at 11 points). The results showed the fertility status of soil on oil palm land (Elaeis guineensis jacq.) in the Palm Oil Research Garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Sriwijaya showed that soil fertility at the research site was low to moderate and for oil palm cultivation is said to have been appropriate in the change in N-total levels and soil texture. Factors limiting soil fertility in the study area are in P-available, K-dd, pH, and Bulk Density.
