Abstract

The study aims to identify the classes and the determinant factors of land suitability of Tobacco in order to provide recommendations for land management as an effort in increasing the development of Tobacco in Eromoko District, Wonogiri Regency, Indonesia. This research used a descriptive-exploratory approach by field surveys, laboratory analysis, and matching the data with growth requirement characteristics for Tobacco crops. The field survey was carried out based on a working map, namely the Land Mapping Unit (LMU), overlaid maps of soil type, slope, and rainfall. Research results illustrated that 18 LMUs were included in the marginally suitable class (S3) (4,968.78 ha, about 51% of research area) with limiting factors wa; oa; nr; na; eh, and 8 LMUs were included in the unsuitable class (N) (4,919.11 ha, about 49% of research area) with limiting factors N and eh. This study provide information about the land suitability class and the limiting factors each area to determine the potential success of Tobacco cultivation and make suitable improvement efforts. Keywords: Hilly land, Land management, Limiting factors, Sustainable agriculture, Tobacco growth potential.

Abstract

This study explores how termite activity affects soil chemistry, those are Soil Organic Matter (SOC) and nutrient dynamics in pine and mahagony forest of varying ages in the Bromo Forest, Indonesia. Termite activity was assessed using wooden poles placed in PVC pipes as bait, which also served for soil sampling. The results showed significant differences in SOC and total NPK levels among different pole damage classes in each forest. The highest values were observed in pole damage class 4. Termite-influenced soil, especially those affected by the genera Macrotermes sp., Microtermes sp., and Schedorhinotermes sp., showed the highest concentrations of SOC and NPK (4.97%, 0.51%, 15.42 mg/100 g, and 45.9 mg/100 g, respectively). The termite diversity index showed moderate diversity in all pine forests and low diversity in mahogany forests. The termite diversity index indicated moderate diversity in pine forests and low diversity in mahogany forests, likely influenced by bait type. These results demonstrate that termite activity significantly enhances soil nutrient content and can be used as an indicator of soil fertility status in tropical forest ecosystems.

Abstract

Ende Sub-District, East Nusa Tenggara, has various topographies with an altitude of 0-1,100 m asl that can potentially grow Arabica coffee. Still, there is no information available regarding the suitability of the land. This study aims to evaluate the actual land suitability of Arabica coffee based on soil and environmental characteristics. The research method is descriptive explorative through a field survey approach supported by laboratory analysis. Determination of SMU (soil map unit) was carried out by purposive sampling through boring at 31 points, then classified based on soil type to obtain five pedons that represent SMU in Ende Sub-District. Soil sampling was carried out on each layer of each pedon. Data analysis used ANOVA and Pearson correlation tests to determine the determining factors that influence the land suitability class of Arabica coffee. The evaluation results showed that the actual land suitability for Arabica coffee was marginally suitable (S3) and unsuitable (N) classes, with limiting factors, i.e. average temperature, altitude, length of dry period, drainage, base saturation, available P, slope, and erosion hazard. The results of the ANOVA test showed that altitude significantly affected the land suitability class for Arabica coffee, with the best land suitability class at an altitude of 800-1,100 masl. Based on the correlation between land suitability class and land characteristic parameters, the determining factors for land suitability class include average temperature, humidity, drainage, texture, coarse material, total N, available K, erosion hazard, surface rocks, and rock outcrops. Land improvement recommendations are based on making an irrigation system, providing shade plants, N fertilization (urea fertilizer), K fertilization (KCl fertilizer), and terracing.

Abstract

The nutrients of plants and the physical condition of the soil must both be considered to increase corn productivity. The continuous use of inorganic fertilizer without manures will cause a decrease in the physical properties of the soil. Therefore, this study aims to obtain doses of organic fertilizer from cow manure and inorganic fertilizers namely urea, KCl and SP-36 that will give the best effect on the physical properties of Alfisols, growth and yield of hybrid corn. The experiment was carried out using the randomized complete block design (RCBD) with two factors namely organic and inorganic fertilizers. Each factor was given at four dosages: 1, ¾, ½ and ¼ of the standard dose each with three replications. Observation parameters include bulk and particle density, soil porosity, aggregate stability, root volume and fresh weight, plant height, as well as the weight of corn with and without husks. The results showed that organic and inorganic fertilizers significantly affected bulk density, soil porosity, aggregate stability, root fresh weight, root volume, as well as the weight of corn with and without husks. Additionally, treatment with 7.5 to 10 tons of organic fertilizer as well as ¼, ¾ and 1 dose of inorganic fertilizers produced the best effect on soil physical properties of Alfisols, growth and yield of hybrid corn, while the lowest results were obtained in the control treatment. This indicates that organic treatment can reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers between ¼ to ¾ of the standard dose.
