Abstract

The purpose of this study was to study how the physical properties of peat change due to the conversion of secondary forest into oil palm plantations.  It was done by comparing the three conversion stages of the secondary forest into shrubs and oil palm plantations.  The study was conducted in Ogan Komering Ilir District, South Sumatera Province, about 100 km south of Palembang, Indonesia from August to December 2016.  Data collection was done randomly at all sites, each of five points for field sampling, observation of soil profile and measurement of hydraulic conductivity and water table depth.  The samples were collected at a depth of 0-30 cm, both for undisturbed cores and bulk samples.  The hydraulic conductivity was measured in the field using the auger holes method.  The peat strength was determined by using the hand operated cone penetrometer.  Data analysis was done descriptively and regression correlation test.  The results showed that conversion of secondary forests into oil palm plantations has led to the decline in the quality of some of the physical properties of peat by decreasing total porosity, water table depth, hydraulic conductivity, organic matter content, moisture content and increasing the bulk density and peat strength.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze potential supply and removal of biomass and soil nutrients induced by different vegetation on peatlands. The research was carried out in peats dome of the catchment area of the Sibumbung River and the Burnai River in Pedamaran Sub-Districts, OKI South Sumatra. The research method used field survey of case studies of four natural phenomena (swamp grass, bush swamp, pulai peatlands, and peat forest). The research resulted that the highest production and harvest of biomass came from peat forest, pulai peatland, bush swamp and swamp grass. The highest biomass supply to the soils were given by the peat forest, pulai peatland, bush swamp and swamp grass (around 12,545; 11,593; 7,491 and 5,313 kg/ha/year respectively). The more varied the vegetation type, the higher the supply of soil nutrients. Swamp grass and bush swamp have low vegetation diversity and are mostly dominated by alang-alang. Swamp grass and bush swamp showed the same pattern and the order of nutrient supply in the highest sequence is K, Ca, N, Mg, Ca, and P. The supply order of soil nutrients (peat forest and pulai peatland) showed a similar pattern, namely from the highest content of Ca, N, K, Mg and P. Pulai vegetation can be recommended for a paludiculture system because it resembles almost the peat forest in producing biomass and soil nutrient supply to the soils and is originally native plant from peatland.

Abstract

Tidal lowland reclamation aims to extend food agricultural area. Land clearing was done at Delta Telang II, Kabupaten Banyuasin District, South Sumatra I period of 1981-1982. Most area of Delta Telang II had land typology of B/C and almost half of it already been changed into palm oil plantation. Therefore, the field study had been conducted to determine the potentials and constraints for development of paddy field.  The research method was applied study and field experiment. Soil physical properties analyzed were texture, volume weight, and hydraulic conductivity.  Rice used in this study was Inpara 3 variety. The research results showed that soil physical properties was appropriate for development of paddy field rice. Controlling of water level in tertiary level by farmers was a key succeeds to provide water for crops. Model of water gate is flap gate type and it is operated dominantly as drainage during rice growth period and only functioned as supply when crops entering generative phase. Average rice production was 7.5 t ha-1. This condition was showed that using proper water management, balance fertilizer application, and adaptive rice variety resulted in successful rice crops cultivation at tidal lowland area and subsequently prevent land functional shifting.  Key words: Tidal lowland reclamation, water management, rice.

Abstract

The research aimed to determine the monthly operational groundwater control and land use patterns in fire prevention efforts on peatlands. The research method was carried out using a detailed survey scale method in the representative sample area of 20-30 ha. Observations in the field included measuring the physical properties of soils and observing hydrological components. Group discussions with the community were conducted to explore information on the causes of fires, compilation of plans for operational activities in the field, and land use models. The research results showed that in the soil depth of 0-20 cm the level of peat maturity classified as Sapric (mature), at a depth of 20-50 cm is classified as hemic and at a depth of 50-100 cm belongs to fibric (immature). The effects of blocking canal construction were very significant in raising the water level in the channel and groundwater table. However, due to the low rainfall until December 2019, the groundwater level was not yet able to raise to the point of arrangement 40 cm. Till the end of December 2019, the groundwater level was at 70 cm, however there has been an increase in groundwater level of 30 cm since the beginning of December 2019. In the rainfall conditions < 2500 mm/year, blocking canal operations with a retention system have to begin in April. Agroforestry is the best model and Albizia chinensis (Osbeck) Merr. (sengon) in combination with pineapple plants are the best land use pattern. In addition, some short-term proposals are to provide infrastructure for firefighting, the construction of a road embankment, normalization of main rivers and canals, providing boring wells, making security control posts, training, monitoring, and providing some incentives for farmers to clear land and firefighting teams at the village level.

Abstract

Tidal lowland has a great prospect due to its vast area to support the improvement of national food security and the development of agribusiness system. Based on these potentials, it is necessary to study water management the physical dan chemical characteristics of soil on tidal land at Telang Jaya, South Sumatra. The aim of the study is to develop micro water management in the field level  for rice cultivation, and to evaluate the soil fertility in relation to the rice production.  The soil properties can be used to determine the level of soil fertility and the land management problem at the area. Research method was done by experimental research in combination with survey and monitoring. Rice was cultivated in tertiary block and the ground water table fluctuation was record in daily bases. Soil samples were taken from 0-20 cm depth (the root depth for common food crops) and then analyzed at the laboratory. The result had showed that the soil fertility status at Telang Jaya was low to moderate. The limiting factors of soil fertility found in this study were consisted of low nitrogent content, low C-organic content and acid soil condition (low bases and pH). Ground water taken at  February to March was maintained on 10 to (-10) cm related to the soil surface. It was sufficient for crop water requirement. Water management objective for second rice was mainaly for control drainage during the intial stage, and retain rainfall water. Pumping irrigation was required during Elnina climatic condition at generative phase. By proper water management system rice production could achive 5 ton/ha.

Abstract

 Agriculture productivity of tidal lowland reclamation areas in South Sumatra is still low. It leads to the increasing of agricultural land conversion into plantation areas. Controlling the water table is the main factor in the tidal lowlands; this research aimed to develop micro drainage system in tertiary block for controlling water table under wet condition. Watermelon was used as a crop indicator and planted in mid- March 2015. The location of the research was in a tidal lowland agriculture with land typology B, where the tide can only be as irrigation during the rainy season. The method of this research was surveying and monitoring. Groundwater observation, measurement value hydraulic conductivity and land drainage applications were included in the field activities. The design of land drainage used an intensive shallow drainage concept; the effect of the depth of the water table to water status was evaluated by the UPFLOW model. A micro drainage on tertiary block was used by 8 m drain spacing, with channel depth of 20 cm. The results showed that the tertiary gate operation was maximum drainage option. The water table depth was 25 cm in soil depth.The watermelon crops grew well and production reached 20 t ha-1.

Abstract

The existence of the Musi River is very important not only for the population of South Sumatra, but also for the Bengkulu and Lampung regions. The main problem is the high rate of sedimentation, and the alleged increase in heavy metal content. The research aims were to determine the sedimentation rate and metal content in river mud in dry season. Samples of water, mud, and sediments were taken in the waters of Musi Hilir in the area around Kemarau Island in August-September 2018. The results of laboratory analysis showed that the river had been moderately polluted, where the ammonia content in the water was above the quality standard, and the Fe content in the mud is classified as high (above the quality standard). The sediment accumulation in the nine samples at three stations showed at Station 1 was 0.022429739 g cm-1 day-1. The highest accumulation rate of sediment weight was found at Station 2 which was 0.038456224 g cm-1 day-1. The lowest sediment accumulation rate was found at Station 3, which was only 0.007109631 g cm-1 day-1. The cause of the low accumulation of sediment at Station 3 was  due to flow velocity at this location tends to be large, so that the sediment was difficult to settle. If the assumption was four months dry season, the accumulation of sediment was estimated at 26.9 tons / m2 / 4 months.

Abstract

The main problem for agriculture at tidal lowland swamp is low soil quality and high acidity of soil and high water. The research objective was to investigate how far the effort in increasing tertiary canal network to improve water quality (increasing pH and reducinf iron) in channel and tertiary plot. Field study was conducted at Bandarjaya Village of Jalur 25, Delta Sugihan Kanan, South Sumatra. Field activities were consisted of network investigation  land use and farm enterprise system which located at Primr 13 of Sugihan Kiri and Primer 25 of Sugihan Kanan. The network improvement perfomance was conducted by constructing micro water management (installed the tertiary gate and developen quartey canal) at tertiary plot which consisted of collector channel, sub tertiary channel and control plot which was outfall at quarterly channel downstream end. Water gate having goose neck pipe system was constructed to control water table in tertiary channel. Results of field study showed that land use at the study area was still dominated by rice crop with magnitude of 83% and the rest of 17% was used for rubber plantation, orange planation and mix plantation. The depth of phyrite layer was in the range of 60 to 100 cm below soil surface. Water table surface in October was in the range of 10 to 35 cm. Field adaptation showed that water gate was operated in closed condition (water retention) during vegetative phase. Water retention showed significant to improve rice yield in which water table since November had increased from -10 cm to flooding condition of 15 cm in January. This condition provide sufficient water for rice crop which was similar as the result found at irrigation area. The addition of ameliorant substances such as coconut fiber, and sand semen block at outfall of tertiary and kuartely channels also increase water quality in which water pH was increased from  2.95 to 3.7 and iron concentration was decreased from 4.01 to 0.32 mg/liter. Rice yield was increased from average production of 2 ton/ha to 3 ton/ha. This low production was due to land flushing process which need longer time process for at least 2 to 3 years from current condition as well as other production inputs such as fertilization and ameliorant substances.

Abstract

Investment development for oil palm plantation in Indonesia was increasing and it clear away into peat land area. Land clearing activities without considering peat ecological function may have impact on environmental degradation. The objective of this research was to study development potential of oil palm plantation at peat land by using land evaluation approach. The field survey method was observation scale and land suitability assessment was based on FAO standard with adjustment. Assessment results showed that land had peat thickness higher than 3 m covering 28% of total area so that it can be opened for oil palm plantation. The main constraint factors for the clearing of feasible area were soil reaction, flooding condition and nutrients status. These parameters could be potentially improved. However, final assessment of land showed that it was classified as less feasible (S2) due to relatively high investment.  Cultivation can only be conducted with provision of drainage facility. Caution should be taken in designing open channel in order to prevent excessive water drainage. Therefore, hydrologic analysis can be based on 5 years return period only. Computer simulation of DRAINMOD was applied to determine the operational effect of control structures in elevating of water table during dry season. Simulation results showed that during the opening operation of open channel without control structures at dry season, water table was dropped up to 90 cm below soil surface. Water retention effort in tertiary channel at 70 cm level could elevated water up to 30-40 cm below soil surface. The key success for oil palm plantation development at peat land was highly depended on availability of control structure at tertiary channel. Flap water gate type from fibre material was very suitable for field application. Retention system by using soil sack or stoplog water gate could be implemented at initial stage in order to economize the cost.

Abstract

Sebagian besar produktivitas pertanian di lahan pasang surut masih rendah. Hal ini disebabkan oleh permasalahan utama pada tingkat kesuburan dan kecukupan airnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai status kesuburan tanah dan menyusun rekomendasi perbaikan kualitas lahan pada berbagai kelas hidrotopografi di lahan rawa pasang surut. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Agustus-Oktober 2022 pada pertanaman padi di areal lahan reklamasi rawa pasang surut desa Sri Mulyo, Sri Katon dan Sido Harjo Kecamatan Air Salek, Kabupaten Banyuasin, Sumatera Selatan. Metode yang digunakan adalah survei dengan tingkat semi detail, area pengambilan sampel meliputi lahan kelas hidrotopografi A (basah, potensi irigasi pasang surut pada musim hujan dan musim kemarau), B (irigasi pasang surut hanya untuk musim hujan), dan C (kering, tadah hujan). Data lapangan meliputi karakteristik sifat fisik tanah, kedalaman air tanah dan lapisan pirit. Analisis tanah dilakukan di Laboratorium Kimia, Biologi dan Kesuburan Tanah serta Laboratorium Fisika dan Konservasi Tanah, Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Sriwijaya meliputi analisis tekstur, bobot isi tanah, pH, C-organik, N-total, P-tersedia dan K-dd. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa status kesuburan tanah tergolong sedang dan tidak terdapat pengaruh yang nyata antara kelas hidrotopografi dengan status kesuburan tanah. Namun, kedalaman pirit di lahan tipe C lebih rendah daripada di tipe A dan B. Kondisi ini mengharuskan pengelolaan lahan yang lebih hati-hati di tipe C untuk tetap menjaga kedalaman air tanah berada di zona akar agar terhindar dari oksidasi pirit serta pengelolaan air untuk meningkatkan retensi air hujan dan menjaga kedalaman air tanah tetap berada di atas lapisan pirit. Selain itu, operasi pintu di saluran tersier disarankan untuk lebih banyak ditutup sehingga air di saluran tidak hilang selama budidaya tanaman padi dilakukan. Pemberian bahan amelioran seperti sekam padi juga sangat dianjurkan untuk memperbaiki kualitas tanah pada lokasi tersebut.
