Abstract

Stenochlaena palustris, commonly known as pakisan weed, poses significant challenges in oil palm plantations due to its highly invasive nature, which can lead to reduced agricultural productivity. Management of this weed is critical, as effective control measures can inhibit its dominance and promote the proliferation of alternative weed species, thereby enhancing biodiversity within the ecosystem. This study aimed to 1) assess the effectiveness of the herbicide ammonium glufosinate, in combination with an adjuvant, for controlling S. palustris in oil palm plantations, and 2) investigate the subsequent alterations in the weed community structure following herbicide application. We employed a randomised group design (RAK), incorporating the herbicide with added adjuvants. Results showed a clear change from S. palustris to Asystasia sp. as the dominant species. Treatments K and H had the most Asystasia sp., while treatment L had the least. Furthermore, we clearly compared treatments L, K, and S to the control treatment, emphasizing the emergence of diverse species within the treatment plots. However, low levels of diversity and evenness suggest a stressed weed community, indicating that the herbicide application can disrupt existing ecological balances. This study emphasizes the importance of assessing herbicide impacts not only on targeted weed species but also on broader community dynamics, revealing a significant research gap in understanding the long-term ecological consequences of herbicide use in oil palm plantations.

Abstract

Oil palm plantations face sustainability challenges with variable yields and significant greenhouse gas emissions. To optimize nutrient cycling while maintaining soil carbon stocks, this study investigated the effects of fertilization intensity and spatial management on organic matter decomposition. A factorial experiment in South Sumatra (Indonesia) used a completely randomized block design with three fertilization levels (low, intermediate, high). Decomposition was monitored in three spatial zones (weeded circle, frond stack, interrow) using litter bags over 52 weeks, with sequential harvesting at 13 time points. Soil properties, litter quality, and environmental factors were analyzed using ANOVA and regression models. Results showed decomposition constants ranging from 0.0180 to 0.0258 week?ยน and half-life times of 16 to 32 weeks, with high fertilization treatments accelerating decomposition by 28% but reducing soil carbon (2.05% to 2.77%) below the litter bags compared to low fertilization (4.37%). Frond stack zones exhibited 35% faster decomposition while maintaining higher carbon levels. The regression model combining soil and frond C/N ratios explained 73% of the variance in decomposition. These findings reveal trade-offs between rapid nutrient cycling and carbon storage, demonstrating that sustainable oil palm production requires precision spatial management rather than uniform high fertilization. This study recommends implementing reduced-intensity inorganic fertilization, avoiding nutrient application in frond stacking zones, and expanding organic matter placement in inter-row areas. Future research should prioritize quantifying belowground carbon dynamics and fine root turnover to develop management frameworks balancing immediate productivity with long-term sustainability.
