Abstract

Three pedons of paddy soils classified as Oxyaquic Eutrudepts from Pati, Typic Endoaquerts from Ngawi and Vertic Endoaquepts from Klaten have been studied pedogenetically based on their physical, mineralogical and chemical properties. For this purpose as many as 15 soil samples were analyzed in Laboratory. The results indicated that all pedons were influenced by different materials. The top soil of paddy soil from Pati wascovered by sediment material which was dominated by quartz, while sub soils was influenced by volcanic materials consist of association labradorite-hornblende minerals. Paddy soil from Ngawi continuously influenced by volcanic materials in all profile with association of labradorite-hornblende, while paddy soil from Klaten which was derived from volcanic alluvium showed domination of primary mineral in their association, e.g labradoritehornblende- augite-hypersten. The clay mineral composition in all paddy soils were dominated by smectite, with a lesser extends kaolinite and halloysite. The higher content of kaolinite in the top layer of paddy soil from Pati was formed from sediment materials, while in all sub soils kaolinite and haloisite were formed from weathering of labradorite from volcanic materials. Chemically, all pedons are fertile, the main difference is on the ratio of Ca/Mg. Paddy soils from marl (Pati and Ngawi) have Ca/Mg ratio ranging between 5:1 and 12:1, while paddy soil from alluvium (Klaten) is about 2:1. The influence of volcanic materials gives a positive impact on paddy field properties, especially in the source of nutrients but could not modify the Ca/Mg ratio.

Abstract

The productivity of rainfed rice needs to be increased in order to support the Indonesian Food Security programs, especially rice. Rainfall is one of the main sources of the water availability on the rainfed rice field. This research was conducted from October 2000 to February 2001 at four sites in Central Java Province. The objectives of this research were to study thevariability of water availability that influenced by toposequen’s position and to analyze the rice yields due to treatments on toposequence. This experiment was carried out in the farmers’ field using “Group Balanced Block in Split-Split Plot Design” and Inceptisols soil order. Mainplots were the four positions in toposequence (top, upper middle, lower middle, and bottom), and the four villages were used as replication. The sub-plot wastreatments group and sub-sub-plot consists of group-1: farmer’s practice and without weeding; group-2: farmer’s practice without fertilizer and added recommended fertilizer. The research showed that rainfall affected the fluctuation of ground water table and standing water periods. The straw and unhulled rice/grain yields at the bottom position was the highest, and was significantly different from the top position of the toposequence, namely 7.1 and 5.6 t ha-1 for straw yield while 5.2 and 4.0 t ha-1 for grainyield. Without weeding, the straw and grain yields decreased by 1.0 t ha-1 (6.1 to 5.1 t ha-1) and 0.8 t ha-1 (4.6 to 3.8 t ha-1). While, without fertilization, the straw and grain yields were produced only 4.4 and 3.8 t ha-1. Straw and grain yields increased up to 7.0 and 5.1 t ha-1, respectively, when recommended fertilizers were applied.

Abstract

This study aimed to build a soil hydraulic properties digital database and to identify predictors for soil water retention of Inceptisols using data from developed database. Soil survey reports were compiled and soil hydraulic properties were entried into a spreadsheet. As many as 230 datasets of Inceptisols were extracted from developed database to identify predictors for soil water retention using Banin-Amiel and Stepwise techniques. Currently, the Soil Hydroulic Properties Digital Database strores 832 datasets from Central Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, Flores Island, Lombok Island, and Gorontalo District. The dataset is dominated by Inceptisols and fine soils. The correlation between soil water retention and other soil properties, and the order of predicting effectiveness varies with matrix potensial (pF) which influenced by soil moisture regime and pedogenesis type. Total pores and cation exchange capacity are potential predictors for soil water retention of Inceptisols in addition to particle sizedistribution, organic carbon, and bulk density. The Soil Hydraulic Properties Digital Database stores research results and provides data for any study regarding soil hydraulic properties. The dataset selection for developing pedotransfer function of Inceptisols should consider both soil moisture regime and pedogenesis type.

Abstract

Industrial wastes may pollute agricultural land, which is leading to the contamination of agricultural yield by heavy metals. The pollution of Mercury (Hg) and Cadmium (Cd) on paddy field on rice growth is hard to observe, but the contents of Mercury (Hg) and Cadmium (Cd) on hulled-rice exceed the safety level. Therefore Research should be conducted to study the critical limit of Hg and Cd in soils from paddy field. Soil polluted by Hg and Cd should be remediated physically, chemically, or biologically before it is used for agricultural land. The objectives of the study were to know the effect of heavy metal on harvest yields; to find out the relationship between the contents of Mercury and Cadmium in the soil and in rice, and to determine the critical level of Hg and Cd in the soil. The study was preceded at the laboratory for determining maximum adsorption of Mercury and Cadmium by soil, and then at green house using pots containing Typic Dystrudepts and Typic Hapluderts as muchas 7.5 kg of dry soil. Each pot was given treatments of Mercury and Cadmium with the rate of ; 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 of maximum adsorption by soil, afterward stired and incubated for seven days. Each pot was planted with rice IR-64 as indicator plant. This experiment used Randomised Completely Design with three replicates. The research results showed that the increase of Hg content in soil does not decrease unhulled-rice yield, on the contrary the increase of Cd in soil decreases hulled-rice. Coefficient of correlation (r) between Mercury content in soil and in hulled-rice is 0.79 and 0.94 respectively, while for Cadmium is 0.98 and 0.97. The critical limit of Mercury content in Typic Hapluderts and Typic Dystrudepts is 7.1 and 13.6 mg kg-1 respectively, while the critical limit of Cadmium in Typic Hapluderts and Typic Dystrudepts is 3.9 and 6.9 mg kg-1.
