Abstract

The poultry manure and vertisols matter have potency for reclaiming a soil. The research objectives was to study the effect of poultry manure (PM) and vertisols matter (VM) on availability and leaching of macro nutrient in coastal sandy soil treated by rainfall simulation. A laboratory experiment was conducted with lesymeters to measure nutrient leaching. The factorial 4 × 4 treatment applied was arranged by randomized completely block design with three replications. The first factor was level of PM consisted of 0, 20, 40, and 60 Mg ha-1. The second one wasthe level of VM consisted of 0, 5, 10, and 15%. Variables observed were soil physical and chemical properties such as bulk density (BD), particle density (PD), porosity, pF 2.54, pF 4.2, available water capacity (AWC), permeability, cation exchange capacity (CEC), available macro nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S) by Morgan Wolf extraction, and the rate of macro nutrient leaching measuared by Spectrophotometry and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. Result of the research showed that application of PM and VM in the sandy soil decreased soil PD and BD, increased soil porosity and AWC, decreased soil permeability, and slightly increased soil CEC. Application of PM and VM increased soil available nutrient in the sandy soil. Up to 60 Mg ha-1 dose PM increased soil available nutrient, while 10 to 15% dose, VM did not increased it. The rank of nutrient leaching from high to low by rain simulation was N-NO3 -> SO4 = > K+ > Ca2+. Leaching of K and N-NH4+ could be reduced by soil amendment. Combination of PM 60 Mg ha-1 and VM 10% was the best soil amendment for increasing nutrient availability and decreasing nutrient leaching in the sandy soil.Keywords: available nutrient, coastal sandy soil, leaching, poultry manure, vertisols matter

Abstract

Peatland in Indonesia has a potential for maize cultivation, but it has constraints that low of soil pH and of nutrient availability. Use of ameliorants from coastal sediment and salted fish waste was an alternative to improve peatlands productivity and maize yields. Objective of the study was to examine effects of coastal sediment and salted fish waste on growth and yield of maize at three kinds of soil of peatlands of Kubu Raya, West Kalimantan. This research was conducted  in  field  using  Inter-area analysis  design.  The  first  factor  was  combination  of  each ameliorants  which consisted of 5 levels, namely: 1) treatment under farmer custom at the sites (control); 2) coastal sediment of 20 Mg ha-1 + 0.75 Mg of salted fish waste ha-1; 3) coastal sediment of 40 Mg ha-1 + 1.5 Mg of salted fish waste ha-1, 4) coastal sediment of 60 Mg ha-1 + 2.25 Mg of salted fish waste  ha-1. The second factor was soil types which consisted of three levels, namely: Typic Haplohemists, Typic Sulfisaprists and Typic Haplosaprists. Each treatment was repeated 5 times. The results showed that combination of 40 Mg ha-1 of coastal sediment and 1.5 Mg ha-1 of salted fish waste was the best combination for all soil type. It increased plant height (33% - 44%), shoot dry weight (74% - 75%), number of seeds per cob (31% -110%), weight of 100 seeds (58% -71%) and dry grain weight per plant (136 % -160 %) at each soil. The highest yield was found in soil of Typic Haplosaprists (219.54 g), followed by Typic Sulfisaprists (210.72 g) and Typic Haplohemists (208.82 g).Keywords: Coastal sediment, maize, peat soils, salted fish waste [How to Cite: Denah S, BH Sunarminto, D Shiddieq and D Indradewa. 2014.

Abstract

Beet tubers are perishable horticultural commodities, cannot be stored for long, and are commonly consumed in fresh conditions. Postharvest handling of beet tubers needs to be carried out to maintain their freshness Chitosan and other packaging used in postharvest handling of fresh beet tubers have not yet been reported. This study aims to determine the effect of chitosan coating and types of packaging on beet tubers on the physical quality of beet tubers. The study was a randomly designed group with two factors; the first factor was chitosan concentration, and the second factor was the kinds of packaging. Chitosan concentration consists of 5 levels, namely 0, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%, and the type of packaging includes no packaging (Without), plastic packaging with holes (Perforated), ordinary plastic packaging (Ordinary) and plastic vacuumed (Vacuum). The beet tubers were soaked in chitosan solution of 0, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% for 1 minute, air-dried, then were packaged with no packaging, plastic packaging with holes, ordinary plastic packaging, and plastic vacuumed. .  The physical quality parameters observed were moisture content, weight loss respiration rate,electrolyte leakage, total dissolved solid (TDS), ascorbic acid, betacyanin, betaxanthins,  tuber firmness, damage percentage, and visual quality rating (VQR). Data were analyzed using Anova variant analysis and then continued with Tuckey tests with a 95% confidence level using R studio software. The results showed that chitosan coating did not affect the physical quality of beet tubers, while packaging affected the quality of beet tubers. The most suitable packaging to maintain the physical quality of beet tubers is plastic packaging with holes (perforated).
