Abstract :This study aims to determine the physical characteristics of soil on dry land agriculture in the Ciliwung Hulu watershed, West Java Province and its relation to soil infiltration capacity. This study used a survey method through land surveys and direct observations at the research area, subsequently followed by taking soil samples for soil analysis in the laboratory. The results showed the soil texture of clay, clayey loam, loam and sandy loam, very high soil density, poor porosity, and moderate to very fast permeability. The results of soil data analysis in the laboratory showed that the physical characteristics of the soil in the Ciliwung Hulu watershed need improvements in the physical properties for rainfed agriculture.
