ping patterns–III, IV and V–did not record high levels of popu-
lation density. Table 6.3 indicates that in almost all villages
rice-rice was the dominant cropping pattern on sawah. Only
Village VII (Malausma) did a non rice crop (sweet potatoes)

predominate on sawah land as a second season crop (although
soya beans and peanuts were an important third season crop
in Village III, the one village where sugarcane was also of some
importance). One other important development since the
baseline study has been the intercropping of various dry land
palawija crops (sweet potato and cassava) with chili and rice
on sawah land in Village I.

In addition to sawah groups, dry land cultivation was also
important in all the West Java upland villages. In all three,
palawija crops (and various bean crops in Ciwangi) have con-
tinued to be the major dry land crops, palawija providing an
important secondary staple food. The most important dry land
crop to spread since the baseline study has been chilies in
Village VI which for a small proportion of families rivals padi
