Abstract

ABSTRACTThe accuracy of fertilizer dosage for one-year-old oil palm plants is very important. The objective of the research was to determine the optimum rates of Nitrogen and Phosphorus fertilizers for young oil palm. The experiment was conducted at IPB-Cargill Teaching Farm of Oil Palm at Jonggol, from March 2013-March 2014. This study consisted of two separate experiments namely (1) Optimizing Nitrogen and (2) Optimizing Phosphorus. Both experiments used randomized block design with one factor and three replications. The treatments were five rates of nitrogen or phosphorus (0, 135, 270, 405, 540 g N per plant; 0, 135, 270, 405, 540 g P2O5 per plant). The results showed that nitrogen fertilizer rates increased height linearly at 10 month after treatment (MAT) and quadratically at 12 MAT. Stem girth, frond production and leaf area of 9th frond increased quadratically with N rates (9, 10, 12 MAT). Nitrogen fertilizer quadratically increased leaf chlorophyll content (12 MAT), but did not significantly affected leaf-N content. Phosphorus fertilizer increased palm height linearly (9, 10 MAT) and quadratically (12 MAT). Phosphorus linearly increased stem girth (12 MAT) and quadratically (9, 10 MAT). Frond production was quadratically increased with phosphorus rates (9, 10, 12 MAT). Phosphorus linearly increased leaf area of 9th frond (9 MAT) and quadratically (12 MAT). The optimum rates of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers for one year old plant was 382 g N and 331 g P2O5 per plant, respectively.Keywords: inorganic, nutrient, optimum rates, single fertilizer

Abstract

Ultisols are characterized by low pH, low alkaline saturation, low cation exchange capacity, and high levels of soluble Al and Fe. Compost is usually applied to increase soil fertility, but its effect is only temporary in tropical conditions because organic matter decomposes quickly. Biochar and fly ash-enriched compost have been proposed as a synergistic approach to improve the chemical properties of Ultisols. This study evaluated the effect of compost enriched with biochar and fly ash on soil chemical dynamics over 16 months in pineapple plantations in Lampung, using a randomized block design with three treatments: compost enriched at the initial stage, compost alone as a control, and compost enriched at the end of composting. The results showed that biochar and fly ash increased soil pH during the initial phase by supplying alkaline cations. Fluctuations occurred during the intermediate stage due to the decomposition of organic matter and nitrogen transformation: organic C and total N increase, influenced by microbial activity and environmental conditions. Phosphorus followed a mineralization-immobilization-remobilization pattern, with late-stage enrichment producing P. Potassium, calcium, and magnesium initially increased but later decreased, likely due to leaching. Early-stage enrichment provided a more stable release of alkaline cations. Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn show fluctuations in the enriched treatment. The application of biochar and fly ash-enriched compost synergistically with early-stage enrichment effectively enhances the chemical properties of Ultisol.
