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

The agricultural sector is the mainstay of the economy in Central Moluccas. However, most agricultural soils on the island have low soil fertility. One of the efforts that farmers can make to improve soil fertility is to apply organic matter, which is widely found in Central Moluccas. This study aimed at elucidating the effect of mixing high-quality organic material (Glicidia sepium pruning) with low-quality organic material (sago pulp waste) on the improvement of available nitrogen in an acid soil (Dystrudept) and growth of maize. Two experiments were carried out in a laboratory and a greenhouse. The compositions of the mixtures of sago pulp waste (A) and pruning of Gliricidia sepium (G) were A0 G100; A20G80; A40G60; A60G40; A80G20, and A100G0. Six treatments and one control (no application of residues) were arranged in a completely randomized design. The results showed that the application of the mixture of 20% and 80% of Gliricidia sepium pruning (A20G80) increased the cumulative amount of mineral N in the soil higher than that of the other organic material mixtures, which in turn improved maize growth.
