Abstract: The aim of this study was to obtain a spatial map of the land potential and productivity of Kasturi-type tobacco in West Lombok Regency, Indonesia. To achieve the objectives of the research, it was carried out by applying a combination of survey, observation, and interview methods. Surveys to obtain data on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil, then analysis was carried out in the edaphology laboratory. Observations to obtain agro-climatological data and interviews to obtain data on labor requirements. The collected primary and secondary data were compared to tobacco plant growth and development conditions overlaid on the GPS map to produce a spatial map of tobacco plant suitability and potential productivity. The suitability of land for the development of tobacco plants is distributed in six districts, namely Kediri District, Labuapi District, Kuripan District, Gerung District, Lembar District, and Sekotong District with a potential area of 12,174.5 ha, while the actual area is 553.5 ha. The productivity of tobacco cultivation is from 870 kg/ha to 1,386 kg/ha and the minimum production potential is 12,191.794 tons/year.
Keywords: cultivation, development, distributed, soil, suitability.
