Abstract

Physical characteristicsare among soil propertiesaffecting the susceptibility to erosion.  Determination of physical characteristics of Ultisol was aimed to evaluate the dynamics of soil properties as well asthe impact on soil erosion and runoff (RO) during soybean cultivation in wet tropical area.  Soybean was planted within erosion plots (18 m2)  at 25% slope in UltisolLimauManis (having > 5000 mm annual rainfall).   Soil samples for physical properties (soil texture, bulk density, total pore, permeability, aggregate stability,and organic carbon) as well as amount of RO and soil loss were analyzed at 5 different times (stages) during the cultivation.  The results showed that there was fluctuation in physical properties of Ultisol during the cultivation. Likewise, the amount of runoff and soil loss also changed during the study.  Among the physical properties analyzed, the aggregate stability index of the soil highly correlated to the amount of RO (R2=0.73) and soil loss (R2=0.94).  Amount of RO and soil loss was controlled by soybean development at the average rainfall intensity ≤ 36 mm/day, but not at rainfall intensity >36 mm/day.  It is suggested not to open heavily clayey-low OC soils for seasonal crop farming during rainy season in wet tropical area. Keywords: soil physical properties, Ultisol, erosion,runoff, soybean cultivation

Abstract

This research was aimed to study soil physico-chemical properties at four slope positions under oil palm plantation in Dharmasraya, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Soils were sampled at 0-20 cm soil depth from 4 different slope positions (upper, middle, lower slope, and the bottom or flat area). The parameters analyzed were soil texture, SOM, bulk density, total pore, hydraulic conductivity, soil water potential (physical characteristics) as well as soil pH, CEC, Al-exchangeable, basic cations (Ca, Mg, K), N, and P (chemical characteristics). The results showed that the bottom area had better soil physicochemical properties than the others. SOM increased by 33%, total pore by 19%, void ratio by 47%, plant available water (PAW) by 28%, soil pH-H2O by 41%, CEC by 171 %, total-N by 170 %, and P-potential by 114 %, in contrast, soil BD and exchangeable-Al were lower (20 % and 96 %, respectively) in the bottom than in the sloping land. The middle slope had the poorest soil physico-chemical properties after 26 years of forest conversion into oil palm plantation. All sites had clay texture, the clay content increased (R2=0.93) by lowering slope position, and so did SOM content (R2=0.86), soil CEC (R2=0.93), and soil total-N values (R2=0.76).

Abstract

In order to clarify the characteristics and stocks of soil nutrient under various land use types in a super wet tropical rain forest in Padang, West Sumatera. We investigated the nutrient characteristics of the several samples of soils under different land use such as cacao plantation (CP), cinnamon plantation (CMP), mixed garden (MG), and primary forest (PF) in Gadut Mountain, Padang, West Sumatra. The soil nutrient characteristics varied among the different land use types. The range of nutrient characteristics under four land use type were 4.60 – 7.01% and 0.4 – 0.60 % for total carbon and total nitrogen and were 9.80 – 24.59, 0.68 – 2.07 and 0.30 – 0.8 mol (+) kg-1 for Ca, Mg and K, respectively. The highest content of soil nutrient status was found under MG, while the lowest soil nutrient status found at PF. This result indicated that the MG with various vegetation types might contribute in enriching the organic matter in soil. The soil nutrient content such as TN, exchangeable Ca, Mg and K tended to decrease with soil depth of each land use type. However, the sodium (Na) content in soil tended to increase within the soil depth. These were presumably due to evaporation of Na at surface soil within the study area was low. These study results showed that spatially the nutrient properties of soil were closely related to the land use type and management practices. It was suggested that the nutrient characteristics of soils under various land use types in a super wet tropical rain forest region, in Gadut Mountain, Padang West Sumatra were significantly affected by the land use types and land coverage.

Abstract

Erosi tanah dapat menyebabkan terjadinya degradasi lahan dan lingkungan. Pengukuran erosi tanah sudah banyak dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk menentukan banyaknya tanah yang terangkut erosi sehingga dapat dilakukan pencegahan untuk meminimalisir terjadinya erosi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui besarnya erosi pada lahan yang ditumbuhi tanaman aren (Arenga pinnata Merr) dengan tiga tingkatan umur tanaman di Kecamatan Lintau Buo Utara, Sumatra Barat. Penelitian dilakukan dari bulan November sampai Desember 2020 yang dimulai dengan melakukan survei pendahuluan di lapangan yaitu meninjau dan menentukan lokasi serta melakukan penentuan titik-titik pengamatan pada masing-masing penggunaan lahan. Pengukuran erosi tanah dilakukan dengan metode petak kecil pada lahan aren yang berbeda umurnya, serta dari lahan yang memiliki vegetasi rumput sebagai pembanding. Disamping tanah tererosi, beberapa sifat fisika tanah juga diamati, diantaranya tekstur, bahan organik, permeabilitas, bobot isi, dan porositas tanah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa erosi pada lahan yang ditumbuhi aren lebih rendah dari lahan semak belukar. Besarnya tanah tererosi pada padang rumput mencapai 0,99 ton/ha, sedangkan pada lahan di bawah tanaman aren yaitu 0,91, 0,62 and 0,95 ton/ha pada tanaman berumur 6, 15, dan 25 tahun, secara berturut-turut. Hal ini didukung oleh sifat fisika tanah yang lebih baik di bawah lahan yang ditumbuhi aren, yang dicirikan oleh kandungan bahan organik yang tinggi (14,10-17,61%), bobot volume tanah yang rendah (0,44-0,63 g/cm3), total ruang pori tanah yang tinggi (76-83%), dan permeabilitas yang agak cepat (8,23-10,12 cm/jam). Tekstur tanah didominasi oleh partikel halus (debu dan liat) dengan kelas tekstur liat pada semak belukar dan liat berdebu pada lahan aren.

Abstract

There is no much public concern about soil aggregate stability improvement of a soil.  This is due to the fact that it does not directly affect crop yield for a short term, but it determines sustainable agriculture and development for a long term.  This research was aimed to investigate soil physical properties especially soil aggregate stability of Ultisols after fresh OM application, then to determine the exact OM dosage to improve the stability.  Ultisols used was from Limau Manis (± 367 m asl), an area in lower footslope of Mount Gadut, having wet tropical rainforest. Due to land use change, farming activities in that sloping area could enhance erosion process in the environment.  Therefore, efforts to anticipate the erosion must be found.  Fresh OM applied was Gliricidia sepium which was found plenty in the area.  Five levels of fresh Gliricidia sepium, were 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 t/ha.  Top soil (0-20 cm depth) was mixed with OM, then incubated for 3 months in glasshouse.  The results after a 3-month incubation showed that SOM content did not statistically increase, but it improved based on the criteria, from very low to low level as OM was applied for ≥ 10 t/ha. It seemed that 10 t/ha Gliricidia sepium was the best dosage at this condition. There was a positive correlation between SOM content and aggregate stability index of Ultisols after fresh Gliricidia sepium addition.Keywords: Ultisols, soil aggregate stability, soil organic matter content

Abstract

Organic matter is one of soil bonding agent in formation and stabilization of soil aggregates or soil structure.  Since it affects several other soil peorperties, soil structure is considered as a determinant for soil quality.  Therefore, depletion of organic matter content in a soil will cause soil degradation and consequently environmental pollution.  This research was aimed to determine org-C status of Ultisols Limau Manis and the relationship to aggregate stability, as affected by land use change.  The results showed that soil organic-C decreased by approximately 42% (from 9.86% to 5.75%) and by 55% (from 9.86% to 4.42%) at 0-10 cm depth and by 45% (from 3.79% to 2.09%) and 18% (from 3.79% to 3.10%) at 10-20 cm depth as land use was changed from forested ecosystem to perennial and annual crops, respectively, in Ultisols Limau Manis Padang.   There was a tendency of positive correlation between soil org-C status and the aggregate stability, or negative correlation between org–C status and the dispersion ratio (DR).  Between both depths, 10-20 cm depth showed a stronger correlation than that of 0-10 cm depth.Key words: org-C, land use change, dispersion ratio, aggregate stability

Abstract

Ultisols as a marginal land need to be reclaimed especially the soil aggregate stability (SAS) under wet tropical area. A research about application of 3 types of fresh organic matter (FOM): Gliricidia sepium dan Tithonia diversifolia) aiming to improve SAS was conducted in Ultisol Limau Manis, wet tropical area, West Sumatra. Fresh organic matter was added to soil at 3 different slope (3, 12, dan 25% slope) in early 2008, then the soil was planted by corn for 4 times until the end of 2009. Corn biomass was return to the land as mulch between crop rows every harversting. The land, then, was fallowed for 1 year (in 2010) before the soil was sampled in 2011 for the physical properties analyses. The results showed that soil organic matter (SOM) content, SAS, permeabilitas, and total pore at 0-20 cm soil depth from plots applied with FOM at all classes of slope were still higher than those control plots. From 3 FOM added, plot added with Tithonia diversifolia still showed better soil physical properties (SOM = 8.3%, SAS = 83). It means that FOM application on Ultisol under wet tropical raiforest still gave effect until 3 years after application.Key Words: Ultisol, stabilitas aggregat, bahan organik segar, bahan organik tanah

Abstract

Phosphorous (P) is one of plant nutrient needed by plant in much amount as it is called as macro essential plant nutrient. This element, P, has complete problems. It is not only found in a small amount in soil compared to other nutrients, but it also has some problems in soil if it is there. At acid soils such as Ultisols, phosphorous is binded by aluminium (Al) and iron (Fe), while in basic soils it is held by calcium (ca) and magnesium (Mg). Therefore, both in acid soils or basic soils P is not available for plant growth. A research about P-fertilizer use efficiency for chilli (Capsicum annum) on intensification land which was added organic matter (OM) using P-32 technique was conducted in glasshouse and soil laboratory of Agricultural Faculty, and in laboratory of center for research utilizing nuclear science and technique (P3IN) Andalas University Limau Manis Padang from 1996 to 1997. The objective of this research was to measure P-fertilizer use efficiency (FUE) by chili on horticulture intensification area (on Andisols) as affected by organic matter. This research was designed as completely randomized design (CRD) with 2 factors those were TSP (consisting of 0, 25, and 50 kg P2O5/ha) and OM especially chicken manure (consisting of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 ton/ha) by 3 replications. The results showed that plant dry matter became higher by decreasing P-fertilizer added but was not significantly affected by manure. P-fertilizer (P-32) uptake by plants was not significantly affected by P-fertilizer and manure aapplication, therefore P-FUE decreased by increasing P-fertilizer added and tended to increase by increasing dosage of manure applied.
