Abstract

Soil erosion can cause some soil damage, which causes a decrease in land productivity. So, there needs to be an analysis of the erosion of the use of soil. Several methods can use the estimation of erosion. This study compares the actual erosion determined with an erosion simulator experiment and erosion prediction using the USLE method. The research was conducted from June to August 2015 in the Oil Palm Plantation of Muara Enim Regency. The method used is to measure directly using the USLE method. The study results show that the USLE method is still representative to determine the value of erosion in oil palm plantations with a maximum rainfall of 85 m / day.
