Abstract

The research examined the effect of ela sago compost on the soil chemical properties, growth, P-uptake, and yields of corn plants (Zea mays L) in Regosol soils. A randomized block design with a 2 x 4 factorial treatment was applied. The first factor was ela sago compost (B) with three dose levels: B0 = 0-Mg ha-1, B1 = 10-Mg ha-1, and B2 = 20-Mg ha-1. The second factor was SP-36 (P) fertilizer with four dose levels: P0 = 0 kg P ha-1, P1 = 60 kg P ha-1, P2 = 120 kg P ha-1, and P3 = 180 kg P ha-1. This research shows that either ela sago compost or SP-36 fertilizer can increase the soil reaction (pH). Applying sago palm compost and SP-36 fertilizer increases soil available P from 17.33 to 60.67 ppm. Applying sago palm compost and SP-36 fertilizer increases plant P-uptake from 0.18 to 0.40 %, plant height from 135.60 to 189.67 cm, and stem diameter from 1.86 to 3.44 cm, and corn yield (dry weight of 1000 seeds) from 266.60 to 390.57 g.

Abstract

Application of organic matter (compost Sago Ela palm waste and Liquid Organic fertilizers (LOF)) to the soil could have major benefits, such as to improve the soil physical condition (soil structure, water retention), and soil chemical properties (binding and providing nutrients, increasing CEC). The purpose of this study are (1) to improve the soil chemical properties of Ultisols, and (2) to increase plant uptake of N, P, and K, and the growth and yield of corn (Zea mays L.). The research was conducted in the field, namely in Telaga Kodok Village, Leihitu Sub District, and Central Maluku District. The experiment was designed in a factorial, and arranged in a randomized completed block design (RCBD).  The first factor was the provision of compost Sago Ela palm waste (K) and the second factor was the provision of liquid fertilizer (C). The results showed that the compost combined with LOF could improve pH, Al-exchangeable, Total-N, P-available soil, Uptake-P, Uptake-K, and the dry weight of seed corn. While the treatment of sago Ela palm waste compost and LOF can independently raise the K-available soil, N-uptake, and affect corn’s plant growth (height and trunk diameter). The treatment doses of sago Ela palm waste compost of 60 Mg ha-1 and LOF of 20 mL L-1 solution can increase the exchangeable Al, Total-N, and P-available soil, respectively 0.56 cmol(+)kg-1, 0.21%, and 31.00 mg kg-1; also able to increase the uptake of P, K, and weight dry seed corn respectively 0.21% and 1.26%, and 121.33 g plant-1. The treatment doses of Sago Ela palm waste compost of 60 ton ha-1 and liquid organic fertilizer of 10 mL L-1 solution can increase the soil pH by 5.70.
