Abstract

Gold-mine tailings, challenging environment for plant growth, was our study focus. Introducing nitrogen-fixing bacteria (NFB) and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) provides nutrients and phytohormones for plant growth. A pot experiment was designed to assess the corn growth on tailing inoculated with NFB and PSB. The research, conducted in a completely randomized block design, was replicated seven times; the treatments were : without inoculation (control), single inoculation of Azo-7.2, single inoculation of BPF-9, a mixture of Azo-7.2 and BPF-9. The results revealed that inoculation of NFB and PSB significantly increased plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, and P-uptake but did not affect leaf area, chlorophyll content, root length, S/R ratio, N-uptake, and plant biomass, and NFB and PSB count in the rhizosphere. Single inoculants of BPF-9 and mixed inoculants increased plant height by 1.2% to 7%, stem diameter, leaves number, and S/R ratio; only mixed inoculation increased N-uptake, however, Azo-7.2 potential to enhance leaf area, chlorophyll content, and corn biomass. The population of NFB and PSB in the rhizosphere of all treated and control plants was slightly lower than the initial population. The research, in particular, verified that the corn growth on tailings inoculated with NFB and PSB was better than that of uninoculated. ABSTRAK Tailing tambang emas yang merupakan tantangan untuk pertumbuhan tanaman, menjadi fokus penelitian ini. Inokulasi bakteri pengikat nitrogen (BPN) dan bakteri pelarut fosfat (BPF) menyediakan nutrisi dan fitohormon yang penting untuk pertumbuhan tanaman. Percobaan pot dirancang untuk mengevaluasi kinerja pertumbuhan jagung (Zea mays L.) pada tailing yang diinokulasi dengan BPN dan BPF. Penelitian dilakukan dengan rancangan acak kelompok yang diulang sebanyak tujuh kali; perlakuan percobaan adalah tanpa inokulasi (kontrol) dan dengan inokulasi tunggal BPN Azo-7.2 dan BPF-9 serta campuran Azo-7.2 dan BPF-9. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa inokulasi BPN dan BPF dengan nyata meningkatkan tinggi tanaman, diameter batang, dan jumlah daun tetapi tidak mempengaruhi luas daun, kandungan klorofil, panjang akar, biomassa tanaman, serta jumlah BPN dan BPF di rizosfer. Inokulan tunggal BPF-9 dan inokulan campuran campuran meningkatkan tinggi tanaman 1,2% sampai 7%, diameter batang, jumlah daun, dan rasio S/R secara signifikan. Namun Azo-7.2 berpotensi untuk meningkatkan luas daun, kandungan klorofil, dan biomassa jagung. Populasi BPN dan BPF di rizosfer seluruh tanaman yang diberi perlakuan dan kontrol sedikit lebih rendah dibandingkan populasi awal sebelum percobaan. Penelitian ini, secara khusus, memastikan bahwa performansi pertumbuhan jagung pada tailing yang diinokulasi dengan BPN dan BPF lebih baik dibandingkan dengan tanaman di tailing tanpa inokulasi.

Abstract

Kopi Arabika adalah komoditas ekspor perkebunan yang berperan penting bagi perekonomian Indonesia. Namun, produksi kopi arabika ini masih tergolong rendah yaitu 800 kg/ha. Salah satu sentra kopi Arabika di Jawa Barat berada pada daerah aktivitas geothermal Pembangit Listrik Tenaga Panas Bumi (PLTP) Kamojang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dampak uap dari aktivitas geothermal terhadap iklim mikro dan produksi kopi Arabika. Penelitian dilakukan dengan pengamatan parameter iklim yaitu suhu udara, kelembapan udara, dan intensitas cahaya matahari pada lima lokasi berdasarkan jarak berbeda dari pusat geothermal PLTP Kamojang yaitu Lokasi 1 (0-250 m), Lokasi 2 (250-500 m), Lokasi 3 (500-750 m), Lokasi 4 (750-1.000 m) dan Lokasi 5 sebagai lokasi kontrol (kira-kira berjarak 3 km) yang memiliki karakteristik lahan yang sama. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa uap panas bumi berpengaruh terhadap kondisi iklim mikro yaitu menurunkan suhu udara sebesar 8,8, 8,3, 6,9 dan 1,8% dibandingkan kontrol, menurunkan intensitas cahaya matahari sebesar 62, 50, 36 dan 19% dibandingkan kontrol serta menaikkan kelembapan udara sebesar 11, 5, 4 dan 1% dibandingkan kontrol untuk masing-masing Lokasi 1-4. Kondisi iklim mikro tersebut berpengaruh terhadap penurunan produksi kopi Arabika (kg/ha) pada Lokasi 1, 2 dan 3 masing-masing sebesar 33, 19 dan 13% dengan radius kurang dari 750 m dari pusat geothermal PLTP Kamojang. Berkurangnya intensitas matahari berdampak pada penurunan suhu udara, dan pada gilirannya kelembaban relatif meningkat. Suhu yang lebih rendah dapat memperlambat pertumbuhan tanaman kopi. Kelembaban yang tinggi juga dapat meningkatkan risiko kejadian penyakit pada tanaman kopi.

Abstract

Land use conversion can affect characteristics of soil and also soil quality. The present study evaluate theimpact of land use conversion from pine forest to bush in tropical volcanic soils in Indonesia. We comparedtwo soil profiles from the same areas (uphill slope of Mt. Tangkuban Perahu) and analysed theirmorphological, physical, and chemical soil properties. Our study showed that there was a decrease in soilorganic carbon stock about 3.7% (382 ton C ha-1) after approximately 8-15 years of land conversion. Other physical and chemical soil properties, such as soil texture, bulk density, pH, exchangeable base and acidity,cation exchange capacity, and base saturation were relatively similar. This research provide insight intohow change in vegetation cover can affect carbon and nutrient dynamics as well as become a baseline tounderstand soil recovery potential if the land is restored to forest or bush in volcanic soils.

Abstract

Choosing the right method to quantify soil particles (sand, silt, clay) is essential to predict and managesoil characteristics in relation to e.g. nutrient or water retention. However, separating silt and clayparticles for volcanic soils is difficult. In this study, we investigated the effect of three different soilparticle analysis methods, namely the regular pipette method, Na-resin dispersion, andultrasonication with high energy level (1500 J ml-1) on the distribution of soil particle size in tropical volcanic soils. Ultrasonication with high energy level was founded to be the best method to fullyseparate silt and clay fraction compared to Na-resin and regular pipette method. In conversion, thedispersion of soil particles using regular pipette method was suboptimal. In the ultrasonicationmethod, a step that is important to achieve full dispersion is pH buffer > 8 in soil suspension. Thisultrasonication method was founded to have good correlation with Na-resin dispersion method (R =0.88). This study suggested that conventional particle size analysis may not fully separate sand, silt,and clay particles correctly in soils rich in amorphous materials and oxides, and we proposedultrasonication high energy level with pH buffer > 8 method as an alternative method.

Abstract

Soil mineral plays an important role in agriculture due to its ability in influencing soil physical and chemical characteristics, and therefore is important to be identified. The techniques for identifying soil minerals, such as the utilization of a polarization microscope and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), are often laborious, time-consuming, and costly. This study aims to identify and to quantify soil clay minerals by using Hyperion EO-1 imagery and XRD methods, and to reveal the effectiveness of using satellite imagery to determine soil minerals. Spectral signatures from Hyperion EO-1 were extracted in alignment with the soil sampling coordinate locations, and spectral data processing methods such as Continuum Removal (CR), and Savitzky-Golay filtering were used to identify and to quantify minerals. The results show that hyperspectral analysis revealed distinct spectral absorption features, and it could identify kaolinite, chlorite, goethite, hematite, and plagioclase. Meanwhile, XRD analysis confirmed kaolinite and chlorite, consistent with the hyperspectral observations. A key advantage of the spectral absorption technique for raw soil was its ability to identify not only clay minerals, but also both primary and secondary minerals, such as plagioclase, hematite, and goethite, that remain unidentified when using the XRD method with iron removal pre-treatment. Although hyperspectral imagery was successful in identifying soil minerals, there are still some limitations that require further refinement, especially while conducting quantification. The findings underscored the potential of satellite-based hyperspectral analysis as a rapid alternative approach to soil mineral identification that can reduce reliance on laboratory-based methods.

Abstract

A systematic process of assessing the potential and limitation of land resources for specific uses is essential to provide information for land-use planning, resource management, and policy-making. This research aims to determine the actual and potential land suitability for corn (Zea mays L.) in Cikancung District, Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Land suitability evaluation was carried out through a survey method using a physiographic approach through overlaying soil maps, topography, climate, and land use to produce land map units (SPL). Data were obtained through field observations at each SPL, and the results of analysis of soil samples were taken from each SPL. Field and laboratory data were matched with corn growth requirements through the matching table method. The study revealed that land in Cikancung District has actual land suitability classes for corn cultivation of N1n.,eh; N2eh; and S3rc.nr. Of the total 987.13 ha, 3.54 ha is classified as S3, while 983.59 ha is unsuitable due to slope limitations. With slope improvements (e.g., terraces) and nutrient retention measures (e.g., lime application), and orgnanic matter application. The potential land suitability classes improve to S2wa.rc; S3eh; and Neh. Under these improved conditions, the potential suitable land area for corn (S2 and S3) increases to 142.01 ha, representing 14.38% of the total land area.
