Abstract

The low production of white mustard greens in Indonesia is due to the lack of organic matter content in the soil needed by plants. The addition of optimal organic matter, one of which is the utilization of bioconversion technology of organic waste of black soldier fly larvae. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of kasgotchar and NPK applications on the production of white mustard greens (Brassica pekinensis L.) variety Masita140. This study used a Factorial Randomized Block Design with 2 factors: Factor l, namely the provision of Biochar kasgot fertilizer (K) with 3 levels, namely: K0 = Control (0 kg / plot), K1 = 10 tons / ha (1 kg / plot), K2 = 20 tons / ha (2 kg / plot). Factor 2, namely the provision of NPK fertilizer 16: 16: 16 (P) with 4 levels, namely: N0 = Control (0 kg / plot), N1 = 100 kg / ha (0.01 kg / plot), N2 = 200 kg / ha (0.02 kg / plot), N3 = 300 kg / ha (0.03 kg / plot). The parameters observed in this study include Fresh Weight per crop, fresh weight per plot and production per hectare (tons). The results of the study showed that the use of kasgotchar and NPK fertilizers did not differ significantly on Fresh Weight per crop, fresh weight per plot and fresh weight per hectare. The best treatment was the K2N3 treatment (kasgotchar with a dose of 2 tons / ha, and NPK with a dose of 300 kg / ha

Abstract

Lead (Pb) contamination in agricultural soils threatens rice production by reducing plant growth and increasing the risk of heavy-metal accumulation in edible tissues. Biochar has emerged as a sustainable soil amendment capable of immobilizing heavy metals while improving soil properties. This study evaluated the comparative effectiveness of rice-husk biochar and corn-residue biochar applied at rates of 0%, 10%, and 20% in reducing Pb availability and enhancing the early growth of upland rice (Oryza sativa L.). A factorial completely randomized design with three replications was employed under controlled pot conditions. Soil pH, residual Pb concentration, rice growth parameters, biomass production, root development, and Pb accumulation in plant tissues were measured and analyzed using analysis of variance followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test at the 5% significance level. Biochar application significantly reduced soil Pb concentration, with the 20% application rate decreasing Pb by approximately 23% compared with the untreated control. A parallel reduction in Pb accumulation was observed in rice tissues, indicating lower Pb bioavailability. Root length increased markedly from 6.35 cm in the control to 16.50 cm at the highest biochar rate, while shoot length also improved significantly. Corn-residue biochar generally promoted greater root development and biomass production than rice-husk biochar, likely because of its higher concentrations of exchangeable potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Although soil pH increased following biochar application, the differences were not statistically significant, suggesting that Pb immobilization resulted primarily from adsorption, ion exchange, surface complexation, and mineral precipitation rather than pH modification alone. Overall, biochar application rate exerted a stronger influence on Pb immobilization than feedstock type, whereas biochar feedstock more strongly affected plant growth. These findings demonstrate that agricultural-residue biochars represent promising, low-cost amendments for mitigating Pb contamination and improving early rice establishment, although long-term field validation is required before practical recommendations can be made.

Abstract

Water is essential to life, and immersion treatment has been shown to significantly alter the properties of biochar, particularly by converting its hydrophobic nature into a hydrophilic one and others. This transformation leads to various changes in the material's physicochemical characteristics. In this study, biochar produced through pyrolysis of oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) using a kiln method was analyzed to assess its physical properties before and after immersion in distilled water. Surface morphology and elemental composition were evaluated using Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), while specific surface area was measured using the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method. Additional analyses, including pH, bulk density, water holding capacity, and moisture content, were conducted at the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) and the Soil Biology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of North Sumatra. The results demonstrated that water immersion induced notable changes in biochar characteristics. The pH of the biochar slightly decreased from 10.09 in dry EFB biochar to 9.54 in the soaked sample. While the soaked biochar exhibited higher concentrations of most nutrient elements, the carbon (C) content remained higher in the dry biochar at 65.06%. BET analysis revealed that the surface area of dry biochar (79.446 m²/g) was substantially greater than that of the soaked biochar (38.783 m²/g). Conversely, the soaked biochar showed superior performance in terms of bulk density (0.34 g/cm³), water holding capacity (10.51%).
