Abstract

The giant tsunami waves following the earthquake of the west coast of Sumatra on December 26, 2004, have caused soil salinisation of agricultural lands and damaged to irrigation and drainage channels along the coastal areas of Aceh Province, Indonesia. The objective of this study was to monitor the changes in soil salinity of the tsunami-affected sites. Regular collection of soil samples for soil laboratory analyses and field salinity measurement using an electromagnetic induction technique(EM38) have been conducted. The level of soil salinity in tsunami affected areas appears to be related to the characteristics of the deposited mud and soil permeability. Salt appears to have penetrated deeper into the sandier soils, commonly used to grow peanut during dry seasons. In the heavier rice soil, salt accumulate closer to the soil surface, probably because they were flooded at the time of the tsunami and often have a dense impermeable plough layer. Recommendations have been made to farmers that would allow them to reduce crop losses on tsunami affected soils. This includes avoid planting land that is still saline, enhance salt leaching horizontaly and vertically, improve soil fertility, and grow salt tolerant crops.

Abstract

The rice fields in Indramayu district is 55% of the district area. The average rainfall is 1590 mm per year. Most lands on the North Coast of Java (northern) were potentially affected by sea water intrusion. Extensive observations were 102.321 ha. Field observations were done by survey method. Observations had been conducted on rice fields Pantura, Indramayu, West Java. Soil salinity was measured by using the electromagnetic conductivity meter (EM-38). The results revealed that area had very high salinity which was 22.57%, closest to the beach Indramayu. In the South Region, soil salinity was lower, in accordance with the distance from the coastline. Some areas had a low, medium, and high salinity status in which 58.41%, 8.54% and 10.49%, respectively. Much of the research area had very high Sodium (Na) and ECe (0 - 30 cm) was between 1.37 to 16.38 dS m-1, while the ECe (30 - 70 cm) was between 1.11 to 17.40 dS m-1. This research was expected to assist in the agricultural development planning, especially in wetlands which have been affected by the intrusion of sea water (salinity). Planning for theimplementation of the development of rice varieties that are sensitive to high and very high salinity. Planning and improvement of irrigation networks as sources of clean water for washing the salts or pushing salt water into the sea.Keywords: Coast of Indramayu, rice field, seawater intrusion, soil salinity

Abstract

AbstractSoil conservation is one important aspect in supporting food security program. It is necessary tocreate an area that has a sustainable environment. Mojorejo Village, District Modo, Lamongan,East Java, has an area of ± 1,406 ha. Most of the area is dry land agro-ecosystem includingupland lowland dry climate. Topography is undulating to hilly with deep and rocky limestonesolum. In creating a sustainable environment, research has been conducted in the village onsystem conditions of dryland soil conservation techniques to address land degradation. Thestudy aims to look at the soil conservation and soil conservation technologies recommended insitu, in order to address land degradation. Observations suitability for some commodities showthat land can be developed for agricultural commodities in the village square Mojorejo 878.02ha (92.56%), while the remaining area of 70.54 ha (7.22 %) could not be developed foragriculture because of the form settlement and land biophysical conditions do not allow. Thereis a potential source of water to irrigate rice fields allowed. On mixed farms that have slopes of8-15%, the maximum proportion of annual crops is 50 % with a permanent stone terracing,while mixed farms on the slopes of 15-25%, the maximum proportion of annual crops is 30% witha permanent stone bench terraces.
