Abstract

Recommendation of Phosphate and Potassium Ferlilizers for Maize at Five Location in Lampung (J Barus and AM Murni):. Fertilizer recommendation in specific location will be related to fertilizers efficiency.  The study was conducted at five locations which were planted with corn minimal once a year, namely: (1) Sidowaras village,  Bumi Ratu Nuban Subdistrict, Lampung Tengah Regency; (2) Binjai Ngagung,  Bekri Subdistrict, Lampung Selatan Regency; (3) Watu Agung,  Kalirejo Subdistrict, Lampung Tengah Regency, (4) Balai Rejo, Kalirejo Subdistrict, Lampung Tengah Regency, and (5) Trimulyo, Tegineneng Subdistrict, Lampung Selatan Regency.  The soil samples were analyzed in the Research and Development Centre for Soil and Agroclimate Laboratory in Bogor.  The value of  P and K in soil were compared to the results of  correlation study using several extraction of P and K in Lampung.  Results of the study showed that the status of P was high for three location, medium for one location and low for one location.  K status was low for five locations. Phosphorus fertilizer  recommendation on the three locations with high level of P (Sidowaras, Binjai Ngagung, and Balai Rejo) was 75 kg ha-1 SP-36, on the middle P levels (Trimulyo) was 150 kg and on the low level of P (Watu Agung) was 300 kg. On the other hand, the recommendation for K fertilizer for all locations were 150 kg ha-1 KCl.

Abstract

The importance to return organic matter to the soil has been widely recognized, especially to agricultural lands  that are low in organic matter and nutrients contents that will decrease the productivity of food crops. This study aimed to study the effect of  biochar (rice husk and corn cob biochar) and straw compost on soil chemical properties and yield of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr. The experiments were done in the laboratory and the field experiment at February–July 2015. The first study was laboratory test using a randomized block design with three replicates. Soil samples were ground and sieved to obtain the less than 4 mm fraction for the incubation experiment. A five kg  soil was mixtured with amandement treatments (A: control; B: Rice husk biochar 10 Mg ha-1 ; C: corn cob 10 Mg ha-1; D: straw compost 10 Mg ha-1; and E. Rice husk biochar 10 Mg ha-1 +  straw compost 10 Mg ha-1 ; F. corn cob biochar 10 Mg ha-1 +  straw compost 10 Mg ha-1) were filled into plastic pots. The treatments were incubated for 1 and 2 months. Soil samples measured were pH, Organic-C, Total-N, P2O5 (Bray-1), K2O (Morgan), Na, Ca, Mg, S, and CEC. The field experiment was conducted at Sukaraja Nuban Village, Batanghari Nuban sub district, East Lampung Regency. The treatments (similar too laboratory experiment) were arranged in a randomized block design with four replicates. Plot size was 10 m × 20 m, and soybean as crop indicators. The parameters observed were plant heigh, number of branches , number of pods per plant , number of seeds per plant, grain weight, and stover. The results of laboratory experiment showed that application of  biochar and compost improve soil fertility due to the increase in soil pH and nutrient availability for plant especially P2O5 and K2O available.  The treatment of  a rice husk biochar and compost mixture was better than single application to improve soil fertility and soybean yield. Apllication mixture husk biochar 10 Mg ha-1and straw compost 10 Mg ha-1 increased grain weight about 41% compost to control.Keywords: Biochar, compost, crop waste, soil chemical properties [How to Cite: Junita B, Dermiyati and H Sudarsono. 2016.
