Abstract

Calibration of soil P test was conducted for Typic Kandiudox derived from Way Pangubuan, Lampung. A field experiment was carried out in dry and wet seasons. The dry season experiment in 2013 was designed by applying various soil P status: 0 X (very low), ¼ X (low), ½ X (medium), ¾ X (high), dan X (very high), in which X was the amount of P required to obtain P concentration of 0.2 mg P L-1 in soil solution. The wet season experiment was conducted in 2013/2014 with the P treatments of P fertilizer at 0, 8, 16, 33, dan 66 kg P ha-1 in the form of SP-36 with 3 replicates. The results showed that Colwell, Morgan-Wolf, and Olsen extraction methods were not suitable to determine P requirement for upland rice grown on Typic Kandiudox. Extraction methods of Bray-1, Truog, Mehlich, HCl 25%, dan Bray-2 were appropriate to estimate P fertilizer requirement for upland rice. Among all of these extractions, Bray-1 and Truog were the most appropriate. The level of soil P availability extracted using Bray-1 were classified into low (< 12.0 ppm P2O5), medium (12.0-26.0 ppm P2O5), and high status (> 26.0 ppm P2O5), whereas soil P availability status extracted using Truog consisted of low (< 9.0 ppm P2O5), medium (9.0-15.5 ppm P2O5), and high (> 15.5 ppm P2O5).  Phosphorus fertilizer recommendation for upland rice grown on Typic Kandiudox with low, medium, and high soil P availability status were 33, 8, and 0-4 kg P ha-1, respectively, which equal to 200, 50, and 0-25 kg SP-36 ha-1, respectively.

Abstract

Generally, fertilizer application increases soil fertility, on the other hand fertilizer application leads to the alteration of soil chemical balances in which the magnitude of changes is determined by soil properties. The research aimed to study the soil chemical properties of potentially acid sulphate soils (PASS) originally from two types of tidal swampland as influenced by the application fertilizers and lime. A pot experiment was carried out in a glasshouse. Soil samples were taken from PASS originated from two types of tidal swampland, i.e. PASS in type B tidal swampland (PASS-B) and PASS in type C tidal swampland (PASS-C). The experiment was arranged in single factor of completely randomized design, consisting of six levels of urea, SP-36, and KCl fertilizers and lime that were determined based on Decision Support System software (DSS). Soil pH, total nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P), exchangeable potassium (K) and iron (Fe) were measured periodically every four weeks, soil redox potential (Eh) was measured every week, leaf color index was measured every two weeks. The dynamics of soil pH, concentration of P, K, Fe and N of PASS were influenced by the application of fertilizer rates and lime, although, the magnitude of their changes were influenced by inundation type of tidal swampland. These facts were mainly associated with the presence of Fe mineral in both soils, the different concentration of Fe2+ in PASS-B and PASS-C may be related to land hydrological condition of type B tidal swampland that is frequently flooded as origin of PASS-B.

Abstract

Soil properties such as physical, chemical, biological, microbiological and biochemical aspects affect on soil quality. Soil microbiological activities directly affect stability of ecosystems and soil fertility. The research aimed to determine soil microbial activities through soil enzyme activities and their relationship to total soil bacteria, soil microbial biomass, and soil chemical characteristics. The research was conducted at Laboratory of Soil Microbiology, Indonesian Soil Research Institute, Bogor from July 2015 to January 2016. Soil samples 0-10 cm depth were taken from organic and conventional farming of some commodities (tomato, carrot, maize, broccoli) from Bogor Regency, while those of rice were taken from Tasikmalaya Regency. Soil dehydrogenase, urease and cellulase activities were determined using some modified methods. The results showed that soil dehydrogenase and cellulase activities in organic farming were higher than those in conventional farming, whereas the soil urease activity in organic farming was lower than that in conventional farming. The total soil bacteria and soil microbial biomass were significantly and positively correlated with soil dehydrogenase, urease, and cellulose activities. Soil dehydrogenase, urease, and cellulose activities were very significantly and positively correlated with all soil characteristics tested, i.e. soil organic C, total N, potential P and K, available P and K, CEC, and pH, except that soil urease activity was very significantly and negatively correlated with soil pH. The results of this research indicated that organic farming is recommended for maintaining soil fertility and plant productivity; however, small use of urea fertilizer is still needed in the farming.

Abstract

Laboratory experiment was conducted to identify soil chemical and mineralogical characteristics from topsoil (0-20 cm) of Inceptisols, Oxisols, Vertisols, and Andisols, as well as its relationship with the requirement of NPK, lime, and organic matter fertilizers for rice, maize, and soybean at laboratory of Indonesian Soil Research Institute and Soil Science Department of Bogor Agricultural University.  The result showed that Inceptisols was dominated by kaolinite (1:1), Oxisols by kaolinite and goethite (hydroxide), and Vertisols by smectite (2:1). Andisols had kaolinite and crystobalite (oxide) minerals in it, while amorphous materials could not be detected through X-ray Diffraction (XRD) method.  The soil reaction of Inceptisols, Oxisols, and Andisols was acid; exchangeable (exch) Ca and Mg, the contents of K and P, as well as base saturation (BS) of the soils were low. On the contrary, the soil reaction of Vertisols was neutral; exch. Al and H were very low, whereas exch. Ca and Mg, the contents of K and P, as well as base saturation (BS) of the soil were high. Both Vertisols and Andisols had high cation exchange capacity (CEC) which was from permanent charge in Vertisols and from variable charge (organic matter) in Andisols. Fertilizer requirement for crops in the soil was affected by land use system, plant species, soil nutrient content and its behavior in the soil system.   Key words: Soil characteristics, fertilizer, rice, maize, soybean.

Abstract

Pot experiment was aimed to study effect of potassium (K) and variety on organic acid exudates from roots, plant N, P, and K uptakes, and plant dry weight. The experiment was conducted in the green house of Indonesian Soil Research Institute, Bogor using sand culture method. Factorial in Completely Randomized Block Design with three replications was used in this experiment. The first factor was K application, i.e. without K and application of 100 ppm K, and the second one was 10 varieties of maize, i.e. Antasena, Sukmaraga, CIMMIT 3330, Wisanggeni, Bisma, Lamuru, Pioneer-4, Pioneer-7, Pioneer-11, and Pioneer-21. The result showed that application of K significantly increased plant N and K uptakes. Among tested varieties, the N, P, and K uptake, as well as roots and dry weights of CIMMIT 3330 were the lowest, while those variables of Pioneer-7 were the highest. Among organic acid exudates, oxalic acid was the most dominant exudates exerted from roots, it was about 3.15 mg/g roots dry weight (DW) of Wisanggeni compared  to 5.93 mg/g roots DW of CIMMIT 3330. Plant age significantly affected the exudates which was in the order of 4 weeks after planting  (WAP) > 2 WAP > 6 WAP. Among tested varieties (Antasena, CIMMIT 3330, Wisanggeni, Lamuru, and Pioneer-21), CIMMIT 3330 was the most potential variety to increase availability of soil K in smectitic soils, thus increasing the efficiency of K fertilizer in the soils.   Key words: Potassium, variety,  organic acid exudates, plant uptake, maize.
