Abstract

In an effort to solve the P availability issue in Inceptisols, fermentation is one method used to enhance the quality of liqiuid organic fertilizer (LOF) made from Moringa (Moringa oleifera). The type and concentration determine the effectiveness of LOF on nutrient uptake and plant yields. This study aims to evaluate the impact of LOF types, concentrations, and their interactions on P uptake and rice grain yield in Inceptisols. The research was conducted in a greenhouse using a completely random design (CRD) with two factors. The first factor is the type of LOF, consisting of two levels, i.e., fresh and fermented Moringa extract. The second factor is the LOF concentration, with four levels (i.e., 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 ml/l) and three replications. Data analysis using ANOVA, DMRT, and correlation. The study revealed that the interaction between LOF types and concentrations affects P uptake. The highest P uptake shown by fermented Moringa with a concentration of 60 ml/l was 20.02 mg/plant and 40 ml/l was 18.73 mg/plants., or 1.5 times higher than the control. Grain yield was not affected by type, LOF concentration, or interaction. Fermented Moringa has good potential as LOF, while the effect on grain yield needs further research.

Abstract

The characteristics of indigenous bacterial isolates in cocoa farms differ based on the study's location and methodology. More research is required to comprehend these bacterial isolates' diversity and features completely. This study intends to assess the cellulose-degrading capacity of bacterial isolates from cocoa plantations in Meko Village, Central Sulawesi. The shape of the bacterial colony, the shape of the colony's edge, elevation, colony size, color, and texture are considered during macroscopic morphological identification and microscopic morphological identification after gram stain. Afterward, gram stains the bacteria to determine the type of cell wall. Hydrolysis capacity was then identified macroscopically by observing colony shape, colony periphery, colony color, colony appearance and height, and hydrolysis capacity on media in a petri dish (HC). Upon microscopic examination of cell shape and bacterial wall type (Gram-positive and gram-negative). Based on the research findings and identification of bacteria capable of degrading cellulose in cocoa soil, it can be inferred that among the 28 examined isolates, six isolates have the greatest HC index values in KL62 isolates. In contrast, GL66, KL23, and KL62x isolates have medium HC index values.

Abstract. Rahayu, Erdaswin F, Rosariastuti R, Dewi WS, Fatimah, Herawati A, Ichsan N. 2025. Recovery of soil carbon pools and C–N stoichiometry under drought in degraded tin-mined soils using organic, inorganic, and bio-amendments. Asian J Agric 9: 818-830. Large-scale tin mining on Bangka Island, Indonesia, has severely degraded soils, resulting in low carbon reserves and imbalanced C–N stoichiometry, particularly under seasonal drought. This study evaluated the effectiveness of an integrated amendment strategy to restore soil carbon pools and improve C–N stoichiometry under these challenging conditions. A 100-day screenhouse experiment was conducted on degraded tin-mined soil using a Completely Randomized Design. Treatments included municipal compost, dolomite, Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), and NPK fertilizer, applied individually and in combination. Key physicochemical properties, carbon pools, stoichiometric ratios, and their interrelationships were analyzed using ANOVA, Redundancy Analysis, and Pearson correlation. The integrated combination treatment was synergistically superior (ANOVA, p<0.01). The recovery of carbon pools was marked by a seven-fold surge in microbial biomass carbon to 703.73 mg kg-¹ and a near-doubling of the soil organic carbon stock to 29.21 Mg C ha-¹. The improvement in C–N stoichiometry was evidenced by the optimization of key microbial efficiency ratios, with the MBC/SOC ratio reaching 13.99% and the MBC/TN ratio increasing to 45.18%. Redundancy Analysis confirmed that compost-based treatments formed a distinct, functionally efficient group. Furthermore, Pearson correlation revealed the integrated nature of this recovery, showing a tight coupling between the accumulation of key carbon pools (SOC and MBC; r=0.909) and the enhancement of microbial C-use efficiency. In contrast, the dolomite amendment created a dysfunctional system by causing a massive accumulation of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) to 279.18 mg kg-¹ without a corresponding increase in microbial biomass. A holistic, multi-ameliorant strategy anchored by a substantial organic matter base is essential for restoring ecosystem functions. This approach provides a robust and practical framework for the sustainable land management of degraded post-tin mining landscapes, offering a viable pathway to rebuild soil health and enhance drought resilience.

Abstract

The accurate estimation of soil organic carbon stocks (SOCs) is crucial in sustainable oil palm plantation management. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) serve as an essential predictive tool for enhancing the interpretation and estimation of soil organic carbon stocks (SOCs) and soil porosity. This study aims to improve the precision of SOCs and soil porosity predictions across diverse soil types within oil palm plantations through the application of PTFs. The study was conducted using a survey approach and descriptive exploration in an oil palm plantation in Seruyan District, Central Kalimantan. The study area encompassed four distinct soil types (Alfisols, Inceptisols, Ultisols, and Entisols), with six replicates for each soil type. Soil samples were collected from a depth of 0–60 cm. Statistical analyses included ANOVA, Tukey’s pairwise comparisons, correlation, and stepwise regression. The results indicated that soil types within oil palm plantations did not significantly affect SOCs but significantly impacted soil porosity. SOCs and porosity estimated using PTFs were lower than those estimated without PTFs. Specifically, SOCs analysis with PTFs ranged from 3.4 to 7.1 kg m-²; without PTFs, the range was higher, between 8.1 and 10.9 kg m-². Among the soil types, Entisols exhibited higher porosity with PTFs (51.3%), while Ultisols had the lowest porosity (37.9%). The PTFs provide better predictions for SOCs and porosity, and predictor variables that contribute the most are sand, silt, bulk density (BD), and cation exchange capacity (CEC). PTFs provide an advanced, data-driven approach to assessing SOCs and soil porosity in oil palm plantations, supporting the development of smarter, sustainable, and highly efficient management strategies.

Abstract

Soil fertility is often evaluated under various forest land cover types to determine the capacity of each area to support plant productivity. Therefore, this study aimed to (1) assess the current soil fertility status of six land cover types in the Alas Bromo educational forest of Universitas Sebelas Maret using the Soil Fertility Index method and (2) identify the factors influencing the status. The six different land cover types investigated in this descriptive-exploratory study using a survey method included (1) pine, (2) pine-mahogany, (3) mahogany, (4) mixed trees, (5) annual crops, and (6) pine replanting, with four repetitions. Furthermore, the composite soil sample represented each repetitive area, and the assessment results showed that the soil fertility status was categorized as low to moderate. The categorization order was mahogany>mixed trees>pine replanting>annual crops>pine>pine-mahogany which had fertility indices of 0.57, 0.56, 0.53, 0.51, 0.49, and 0.45, respectively. Soil fertility determinants across the six land cover types comprised litterfall, breast height diameter, and tree density. Future investigations should evaluate the relationship between litter quality, soil biota, and decomposition rate with fertility to identify the appropriate strategy for fertility enhancement on each land cover.

Abstract

Nitrogen is one of the primary nutrients required for growing rice. Still, the efficiency of urea fertilizer application is very low (20-40%) due to the nitrogen loss process, one of which is denitrification. This study aims to determine the effects of combining Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC), plant spacing, and fertilization on nitrogen dynamics in paddy fields. The combination of treatments are expected to reduce the nitrogen loss in paddy fields, and plants can absorb it efficiently. A total of six treatments included Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) (2 levels: without MFC and with MFC), plant spacing (2 levels: conventional spacing 25 cm × 25 cm and jajar legowo spacing 25 cm × 12.5 cm × 50 cm), and fertilization (2 levels: without fertilizer and with 500 kg ha-1 of NPK fertilizer), with three replications for each combination. The observed parameters included total soil nitrogen, nitrate, nitrogen uptake, chlorophyll, nitrogen-fixing and denitrifying bacteria, and N2O gas emissions. The results showed that combining MFC, conventional spacing, and NPK fertilizer in the paddy fields resulted in a high total soil nitrogen (0.44%). The results showed different effects on total soil nitrogen in the MFC and fertilization treatments, leading to increased nitrate levels, nutrient uptake, and chlorophyll. Increasing total soil nitrogen significantly contributes to leaf development and significantly aids photosynthesis. The integration of MFC and fertilization observed in this study resulted in a real impact on nitrogen dynamics in paddy fields. This combined treatment effectively reduces total nitrogen loss due to denitrification in paddy fields, thereby increasing the efficiency of uptake by plants.

Abstract

Pellet Compost: A Practical, Sustainable, and Circular Economy-Based Solution for Household Waste Management. One type of waste that is readily available is leaf litter. Leaf litter is a major contributor to household waste. Compostable waste has great potential to be utilized optimally to provide both economic and ecological benefits. This community service program was carried out from July to November 2025 through several stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The purpose of this activity is to process organic waste into environmentally friendly pellet-based compost. Pellet-based compost is a solid organic fertilizer formed into pellets. Its shelf life is longer than loose compost. Pellet compost is drier, more visually appealing, richer in nutrients, and has a higher market value. The ingredient ratio in pellet production is a key factor that determines the quality, efficiency, and final performance of the pellets. The best ingredient ratio for pellet production between compos: tapioca flour: coconut shell charcoal: and water is 10:1:1:2. The sale of coconut shell charcoal pellets yields higher profits compared to bran and dolomite, amounting to Rp. 2,478 per piece. This approach offers a practical and sustainable solution, providing ecological benefits by reducing organic waste and supporting a circular economy in waste management. This community service initiative is expected to help the community understand how to produce pellet compost, enabling them to meet agricultural needs independently without relying on external raw materials. The program demonstrates that solving environmental issues can go hand in hand with improving the regional economy. This reflects the essence of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12, which is responsible consumption and production.

Abstract

Azolla microphylla as an Alternative Source of Organic Fertilizer in Rice Cultivation on Sandy Soil Field. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a commodity that has high economic value in Srigading Village, Sanden District, Bantul Regency. Azolla is a water fern that has high potential as a source of organic fertilizer. The use of azolla as a source of organic fertilizer is not widely known. The partner involved in this activity is Majelis Taklim Nailul Hidayah, which is not economically/socially productive, but its main livelihood is farming, especially rice. The rice cultivation system carried out by partners so far is still based on the conventional system, which utilizes chemical fertilizers. Azolla can serve as a source of organic fertilizers, acting as a substitute for or reducing the need for chemical fertilizers, thereby reducing dependence on them. The activity aims to increase partners' understanding of utilizing azolla for organic fertilizers through azolla cultivation, which is a straightforward process. The method planned for this activity involves explaining the introduction and development of azolla, as well as practicing the technique of multiplying azolla. The stages of the activity included site surveys, hands-on azolla cultivation, and the application of azolla to rice plants in sandy soil. The results showed that the partners already knew how to cultivate azolla, how to apply azolla, and the benefits of azolla on rice growth. Azolla microphylla was cultivated in ponds lined with tarpaulins measuring 2 m x 3 m x 0.5 m, using 0.5 kg of fresh azolla seedlings. Azolla was harvested 2 weekafter sowing, with one pond producing 37.5 kg of wet azolla, representing a 75-fold increase and a productivity of 12.5 kg/m³.
