Abstrakt: One of the factors that affect the production of pineapple plants is compaction in the soil. So it is necessary to do crop rotation to reduce compaction in the soil. One of the crops used for rotation is banana Cavendish. This research was conducted to determine the potential of banana Cavendish in reducing compaction levels in the soil. The research was conducted from November 2015 to February 2016 in.Central Lampung. This research was conducted in 3 locations, namely the location of PC pineapple (the first plant), RC (Ratoon Crop), and the location bananas after harvest. Soil samples were taken at two depths of 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm. Observations in the research were the level of soil compaction using a penetrometer, soil pore space, and the number of earthworms. The data are displayed with a boxplot graph. Based on the research results, the location of bananas after the harvest had a lower level of soil compaction and was suitable with the standard needs of pineapple plants if compared to the location of the first crop and ratoon crop. In addition, the total pore space at the banana location after the harvest had a higher soil pore space than the other two locations. This is supported by data on the number of worms in the soil. Location banana after the harvest had the highest number of earthworms if they compared to other locations. This shows that banana crop rotation can reduce the level of soil compaction. It was increasing soil pore space and increasing the number of earthworms in soil under pineapple plantations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
