Abstract

Oldeman agroclimate zone is a classification system used to group areas based on rainfall distribution patterns and soil moisture potential available throughout the year. This system provides a clearer picture of which areas are suitable for certain crops based on their water needs, as well as optimizing the use of existing climate resources through cropping patterns arrangements. This study aims to identify and analyze Oldeman agroclimate zones to determine the right planting season and develop efficient food crop cropping patterns on Kisar Island. This study combines two approaches, namely descriptive and quantitative with the following analysis stages: generating rainfall data, calculating average regional rainfall, determining agroclimate zones, determining planting seasons, and arranging cropping patterns. The results of the study indicate that Kisar Island is included in Agroclimate Zone E3 with a planting season length of 7 months, starting in December and ending in June. Intercropping or mixed cropping patterns are options in corn and legume cultivation. To avoid water shortages during the reproductive phase of the plant, dryland rice planting should be carried out in the period from March to June.

Abstract

This study aims to determine physical and clay mineral properties of soils and how they affect the occurrence of erosion in the IAIN Campus Ambon. The results indicated that the two soil profiles shows a variety in soil properties. the largest distribution of soil particle density is 2.63 at soil layer P2L3 and the smallest is 2.26 at P1L1, the largest soil pore distribution is 60.12% at P2L1 and the smallest is 29.36% at P1L3, while the largest soil pores ratio distribution is 1.51% at P2L1 and the smallest is 0.42% at soil layer P1L3. The soil porosity reflects the level of the soil ability to pass water flow (permeability) or the speed of water flow to pass through the soil mass (percolation). By the decreasing of soil porosity and pore ratio in layers 3 and 4, the permeability is also slower. The major clay mineral found in both soil profiles is kaolinite, an unwell consolidated secondary clay mineral type 1:1 mixed with quartz, the most weathering resistant primary minerals. These two minerals have lower friction resistance due to the increasing of clay content in the lower soil profiles. The physical and hydrological soil properties as well as the presence of kaolinite and quartz in the lower soil layers are considered to be the cause of the erosion occurrence in the study area (IAIN campus).

Abstract

This study aims to identify and describe soil morphological traits in the granite toposequence and analyze these traits to assess the similarity index between soil profiles. This study used a survey method involving transect observations and complete profile observations. Variable soil observations were made in a downward direction, following each change in slope segment on the granite toposequence. The results showed that Cambisol (Dystrudepts) soils developed with physical and chemical properties on three profiles for soil color ranging from yellowish brown to brownish yellow and yellowish red to red. The soil texture ranges from loamy sand to dusty clay, and the soil structure is rounded cubical. The soil has an acidic to slightly acidic pH and a slightly sticky consistency when moist and very low to low C-organic content. The similarity index assessed in the three profiles includes parameters such as dust/clay ratio, pH H₂O, and C-organic, which are very similar due to the similarity of the constituent rock formations.

Abstract

Water is a primary necessity for human life, and its quality directly affects public health and community welfare. In Wayame Village, Ambon City, shallow wells are still used by the community as a source of water for daily needs, including drinking water. This study aimed to evaluate the chemical quality of shallow well water by comparing laboratory test results with the drinking water quality standards established by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. This study employed a descriptive quantitative method. A total of eight shallow well water samples were collected from community wells in Wayame Village using purposive sampling. The chemical parameters analyzed included pH, fluoride, total chromium, cadmium, nitrite, nitrate, iron, hardness, chloride, manganese, lead, and free chlorine. Laboratory analysis was conducted at the Provincial Health Laboratory of Maluku, and the results were compared with the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 492/Menkes/Per/IV/2010. The results showed that most chemical parameters were below the permissible limits for drinking water. Fluoride, total chromium, cadmium, nitrite, nitrate, iron, hardness, chloride, manganese, and lead were within the required standards. However, several samples showed pH values below the minimum standard, indicating slightly acidic water conditions. In addition, free chlorine levels in all samples were below the recommended range, indicating limited residual disinfection capacity.

Abstract. Nendissa JI, Laimeheriwa S, Risamasu RG. 2026. Strategy for determining hotong (Setaria italica) planting time based on land water balance study on Yamdena Island, Maluku, Indonesia. Asian J Agric 10 (1): g100167. https://doi.org/10.13057/asianjagric/g100167. Food security in archipelagic regions still faces significant challenges due to limited food distribution, high dependence on seasonal rainfall, and low diversification of local food sources. One potential commodity that can support food independence in the region is hotong (Setaria italica), which is known to have high adaptability to marginal land conditions and limited agricultural inputs. However, hotong productivity on Yamdena Island, Maluku, Indonesia, is still relatively low, mainly due to the lack of determination of planting time that is in accordance with climate dynamics and soil water availability. This study aims to determine the optimal planting period for hotong through a land water balance analysis approach. The data used include rainfall for 30 years (1995-2024), other climate parameters for 15 years (2010-2024), and soil physical properties data, namely field capacity, permanent wilting point, and water holding capacity, plus crop coefficient values. The analysis was carried out by calculating 75% probability rainfall using the rank ordering method, estimating potential evapotranspiration using Cropwat 8.0 software, and integrating all parameters in a land water balance model based on the Thornthwaite and Mather method. Simulation results from 12 planting scenarios indicate that the planting period from December-March to March-June is the safest for hotong cultivation because soil water conditions remain optimal (≥112.5 mm) without deficits. April-July is still possible with small deficits, while May-November is high risk due to large deficits (90-380 mm) and drought during the critical phase. Statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA revealed significant differences in water deficit among planting scenarios (F=58.47, p<0.001), confirming that early rainy season planting significantly reduces water stress. Therefore, planting at the beginning of the rainy season is recommended to maintain productivity, while serving as a scientific basis for developing an adaptive planting calendar for local food development in archipelagic regions.
