Abstract

Development of oil palm plantation on peatland was faced with hydrophobicity problem caused by over drained. Hydrophobicity could reduce water retention and nutrient availability in the peat soil. Beside of proper water management application, addition of soil ameliorant which contain iron could increase stability and improve peat soil fertility. The study was conducted to obtain the effect of steel slag on peat soil properties and hydrophobicity. In this study, peat soil was incorporated with steel slag and incubated in 60 days period. The research was employed completely randomized design (CRD) factorial 2 x 2 x 4. First factor is peat maturity consists of two levels: sapric (S) and hemic (H), while the second factor is soil moisture which also consist of two levels: field capacity (W1) and dry (under the critical water content) (W2). The third factor is steel slag dosage which consist of four levels: 0 g pot (TB0), 7.17 g pot (TB1), 14.81 g -1 -1 pot (TB2), and 22.44 g pot (TB3). The result showed that application of steel slag significantly increase of soil pH, ash content, and water retention at pF 4.2. Furthermore, application of steel slag significantly reduce time for water reabsorption (wettability) in sapric. On the other hand, there are negative corellation between water penetration and soil pH, ash content, and water retention at pF 4.2. Overall, application of steel slag could increase wettability and prevent peat soil hydrophobicity.

Abstract

Maize (Zea mays) is one of the major crops and widely grown in Indonesia. On average, current maize yields are still below its potential. Thus, it needs to increase by good agricultural practices such as applying biofertilizer, which consists of beneficial bacteria. This research was aimed to find out the impact of the bacterial consortium of nitrogen-fixing bacteria (BPN) and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (BPF) on the maize growth. The study was conducted in the greenhouse and arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) with treatments, i.e.: (1) negative control (no inorganic fertilizer and BPN-BPF); (2) positive control (100% inorganic fertilizer); (3) only BPN-BPF applied (no inorganic fertilizer); (4) 75% inorganic fertilizer + BPN-BPF; and (5) 50% inorganic fertilizer + BPN-BPF. The results revealed that the consortium of nitrogen-fixing bacteria and phosphate solubilizing bacteria significantly improved certain soil chemical properties, such as C-organic, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and the availability of nitrogen and phosphorus in the soil. Besides, the consortium of BPN and BPF also increased the maize growth and total biomass up to 19%. Further, a consortium of BPN and BPF increased the fertilizer efficiency by reducing the dosage of inorganic fertilizer up to 50%.
