Abstract

Phosphorus is one of macro nutrient for crops, but on the acid soils it become a main limiting factor for increasing plant growth and yield. Phosphorus availability and forms in the soil are influenced by the level of soil acidity, Fe and Al oxide content and the kind of P fertilizer added on the soil. The objective of this research is to study the effect of three source of P fertilizer application on weight of dry corn and on forms of phosphorus on the soil. The experiment had been conducted on Typic Plintudults in Jagang, North Lampung and on Placic Petraquepts in Cicadas, Bogor. The treatments consist of three source of P fertilizer i.e.:SP-36, DAP, and TSP, and control treatment (without P). The P fertilizer rate is 40 kg ha-1. The results of the study show that the P fertilizer application can increase the dry corn weight from 2 t ha-1 to 6 t ha-1, Al-P from 13 ppm to 41-48 ppm, Fe-P from 176 ppm to 263-300 ppm, Rs-P from 27 ppm to 64-73 ppm, and Ca-P from 14 ppm to 18-34 ppm. The increasing of dry corn weight is influenced by the increasing of Al-P, Rs-P, and Ca-P content on the soils. The increasing weight of dry corn is most influenced by the increasing of Ca-P. Phosphate fertilizer on the Placic Petraquepts Cicadas, Bogor can?t increase weight of dry corn. SP-36 and DAP fertilizer can increase of Al-P and Rs-P, whereas TSP fertilizer decreases of Rs-P and Ca-P. TSP fertilizer is suitable for annual crops, increasing of Ca-P and yield of corn.

Abstract

Phosphor is a macro nutrients and it becomes the main limiting factor for maize growth on Ultisols. Rock phosphate is one of P fertilizer sources contains high P and Ca content, slow release and soluble under acid condition, suitable for acid soil. The objective of this research is to study the solubility of rock phosphate and its influence to the growth and yield of maize on Ultisols.  This research was conducted in the research laboratory and the green house of Indonesia Soil Research Institute (ISRI). Ultisols soil samples were taken from oil palm plantation in North Sumatera. Christmas Island Rock Phosphate (CIRP) and Tunisia rock phosphate was used in this research. There are two activity conducted simultaneously, which is application of rock phosphate on Ultisols under plant indicator and without plant. The experimental design is randomized complete block design with 5 treatments and 3 replications. The pot experiment without plant was conducted using1 kg of soil sample mixed with rock phosphate treatment and placed into plastic plot.  During 3 months of incubation, soil water content was maintained under field capacity by aquadest.  The dosages of P fertilizer were 0, 157.6 and 315.2 kg P2O5 ha-1. Soil samples were taken on 1, 2, and 3 months after P fertilization for measuring pH, P content (by HCl 25 %, Bray 1 and Olsen extraction), P-inorganic fractionation (Al-P, Fe-P, Rs-P and Ca-P), exchangeable acidity (Al and H), Al and free of Fe oxide. The pot experiments with maize were conducted using 7.5 kg soil samples mixed with 2 different rock phosphates as a treatment. The dosages of rock phosphate were similar with experiment 1. Urea 300 kg and 150 kg KCl ha1 were applied as a basal fertilizer. Maize was planted two seed per pot and maintain until harvest time. The result of the research shows that soil P content increase with RP application, Tunisia rock phosphate give higher response than the CIRP. Direct application of rock phosphate with Fe and Al content did not increase significantly the Aldd, Al2O3 and Fe2O3 content on soil.  Application of CIRP and Tunisia rock phosphate increased maize growth and yield significantly.
