Field observation data and the data matched the results of laboratory analysis (matching) with the criteria of rice land suitability classe. The results showed that there are 2 Unit Land Map (ULM) In Bakaran Batu village Sei Bamban sub district Serdang Bedagai regency. Extensive wetland area of 286.02 ha ULM 1 and area of 318.03 ha ULM 2. The actual land suitability classes for rice crops in the ULM 1 is marginally suitable / S3 rc, nr whereas potential land suitability class is marginally suitable / S3 rc. The limiting factor is the soil texture is permanent so it cannot be repaired. The actual land suitability classes for rice in the ULM 2 is the marginally suitable / S3 nr whereas potential land suitability class is moderately suitable / S2 nr. The limiting factor is the C-Organic and soil base saturation can be improved by liming, organic matter, straw composting and fertilizer containing K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+ for example KCl, CaCO3, MgSO4.Keywords: land suitability evaluation, bakaran batu village, irigation rice]]>
