Abstract

The objective of the study is to examine the effectiveness and feasibility of soil and water conservation techniques. The production of oil palm comprising the fresh fruit bunch, number of bunches, and average of bunch weight were recorded at every harvesting schedule. Tabular data were analyzed by logical comparison among the blocks as a result of application of bund terraces and silt-pit. Financial and sensitivity analysis of the effect of the techniques on FFB production were done. Bund terrace treatment was more effective (4.761 ton or 21.5%) in increasing FFB production than the silt-pit treatment (3.046 ton or 13.4%) when it is compared to that of the control block. The application of bund terraces and silt-pit also presents positive effects i.e. increases the average bunch weight and the number of bunch compared to that of the control. Furthermore, the financial analysis as well as sensitivity analysis shows that the bund terrace application is profitable and feasible (B/C = 3.06, IRR = 47%) while the silt pit treatment is profitable but not feasible.Keywords: Bund terrace, feasibility, production of FFB, silt-pit

Abstract

The achievement of the reforestation is expected to reach a climax forest ecosystem. The objectives of this studywas to develop soil index model on monitoring of reforestation achievement. The study used a statistical approach to obtain soil index model to determine the achievement level of reforestation in mining area. The achievement indices for each variable were derived from the best regression model developed, while the weights of eachvariable were computed based on magnitude of regression coefficient for each indicator. The level of reforestationachievement index was initially developed by the use of 4 indicators, i.e. physical soil, biological soil, chemical soil, and litter index. Of those indicators, the study revealed that the heights weight for reforestation monitoring was chemical soil, which is composed pH, cation exchange capacity (CEC), macro-micro nutrient, and base saturation.

Abstract

The landcover change, particularly deforestation, can to affect of hydrological response on watershed.Deforestation of natural forest is identical to degradation of watershed functions, such as loos of land productivity due to increased soil erosion, runoff, evapotranspiration, and decreased of water storage. The main objective of this study is describes the hydrologic response on the Barito Hulu watershed due to landcover change (particularly deforestation) by the use Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The result of the study showed that decreasing of forest area was 9.51% from initial condition can increase water yield, evapotranspiration, and erosion as much as 8.52%, 5.94%, and 1.73 t ha-1 year-1, respectively. Otherwise, water storage decreased as much as14.46%. The landcover on 1990 with rainfall 3,117.10 mm year-1 provided water yield of approximately 1,387.13 mm, evapotranspiration of 1,152.10 mm, water storage of 577.87 mm, and erosion of about 20.52 t ha-1 year-1. The landcover on 2003 with rainfall 2,613.2 mm year-1 provided water yield of approximately 1,385.50 mm, evapotranspiration of 1,121.10 mm, water storage of 106.60 mm, and erosion of about 33.15 t ha-1 year-1 with erosion tolerance of about 43.57 t ha-1 year-1.

Abstract

Citarum is one of strategic rivers in West Java. In the upper part of this river, there are 3 large dams (Saguling, Cirata, and Jatiluhur) which operates hydroelectric power that supply ± 20% electricity needs of Java-Bali area. Run off discharge of the river are fluctuating widely so greatly affect the performance of electricity production, supply of irrigation, and household water in the downstream area. The research aims to identify character of river discharge of Citarum Hulu and its relation with land use changes and farm management. River discharge were analyzed at the inlet of Saguling dam in Kampung Nanjung and some stream monitoring stations located in Ciwidey, Cisangkuy, and Cikapundung-Gandok. River discharge was highly fluctuating. In the peak of rainy season the flow rate can reach 578 m3/sec which caused flooding in several area such as Majalaya, Banjaran, and Dayeuhkolot. In contrary, in dry season the flow was very low, about 2.7 m3/sec, causing drought, failure of rice harvest, and reduced water supply to hydropower plant of Saguling. In addition to affecting rainfall patterns, the flow rate fluctuations was also influenced by pattern of land use and management. Land utilization that was not in accordance with the land capability was the main cause of land degradation which in turn would decrease hydrology function of watershed to control river discharge in rainy season.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of conservation and straw mulch applications on runoff, erosion, selectivity in a cropping pattern of groundnuts - filed corn. Tillage systems used were zero tillage and minimum tillage, while straw mulch application used were 0, 30, 60, and 90 percent coverage on Reddish Brown Latosol, Darmaga. This study was carried out in the planting season of 1088/1989 (November 1988 to 1989). Groundnuts (Pelanduk variety) was planted immediately after land preparation, just before the straw mulches were applied. Field corn (Arjuna variety) was planted right after the harvesting of groundnuts. Runoff and soil loss were recorded and some samples were collected for laboratory analysis. The data analysis shows that runoff were significantly decreased by the minimum tillage system and soil loss were significantly decreased by the increasing straw mulch application with a linier relationship. Straw mulch coverage of at least 60 percent reduced the soil loss by more than 50 percent. However, the increasing straw mulch applications were not significantly effective to reduce plant nutrient loss. This is due to the increasing selectivity of erosion process by the increasing straw mulch application.

Abstract

Sustainable agriculture development requires a high quality and proper land management in order to promote high farmer’s income and to prevent natural  resources degradation. This research was conducted in Nopu sub-watershed, a sub sub Gumbasa watershed, Central Sulawesi Province. The erosion and surface run off were observed by placing erosion plots on various ages of cocoa land uses (monoculture and agroforestry), whiles the soil quality indicators were observed by analyzing the physical and chemical properties of soil samples, which were collected from various  ages of cocoa land use. The soil profile  permeability and soil surface coverage were directly observed on the field. Production and farmer’s income of various cocoa land use systems in Nopu watershed were collected by using questioners.  Sustainable management of cocoa (monoculture and agroforestry) was formulated by using various scenarios. Results of the study showed that 1) forest conversion into cocoa land use decreased soil quality degradation, tended to increase soil erosion and run off; 2) to establish a sustainable cocoa farming system in Nopu watershed, there should be practiced a proper and equilibrium fertilization, application of adequate soil and water conservation techniques such as mulching and construction of ditches closed (rorak) and  ridges (sengkedan).   Key words:  cocoa, erosion, farmer’s income, forest conversion, soil quality

Abstract

Greenhouse and laboratory research at the Department of Soil Science, Faculty of Agriculture IPB has been conducted about treatment of drying on acid sulphate soil coloum from Musi Banyuasin to examine the effect on soil physical properties. Soil coloum of 95 cm height is maintained submerged, aside from other soil coloums drained at 50 cm and 75 cm depth are drying treatment of 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. Drying treatment at 75 cm depth lowering soil surface 0.8 and 2.9 crn at the firstand eighth week of drying, respectively. The soil subsidence is affected by organic matter decomposition and swelling - shrinkage characteristic of 2:1 clay mineral. Drying treatmentsignificantly increasing aggregate stability from 54.69 to 57.19 at 15 cm depth, decreasing it from 57.29 to 51.19 at 45 cm depth at sixth week, and 49.59 to 45.82 at 75 cm depth at fourth week.Although the result has irregular pattern, drying treatment significantly increasing soil bulk density at 15 an depth from 0.83 to 0.95 glcm3, decpasing at 45 cm depth from 0.69 to 0.45 glcm3at sixth week, and increasing from 0.63 to 0.72 g/cm at 75 cm depth at fourth week. The incremental anddecreasing is more caused by organic matter decomposition and soil aggregate sementation by iron resulted from pyrite oxidation. Drying treatment significantly affecting soil porosity, permeability and COLE at several depth, atthough the pattern is irregular.

Abstract

Kelapa sawit (Elais guineensis Jacq.) merupakan salah satu tanaman yang memerlukan air dalam jumlah yang banyak. Ketersediaan air merupakan salah satu faktor pembatas utama bagi produksi kelapa sawit. Pada musim kemarau kelapa sawit akan mengandalkan cadangan air bawah tanah untuk kebutuhan airnya. Hantaran hidrolik merupakan parameter sifat fisik tanah yang berperan dalam penambahan air bawah tanah. Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah mengetahui karakteristik hantaran hidrolik jenuh pada berbagai jenis lokasi yang meliputi gawangan mati, piringan, dan jalan pikul pada perkebunan kelapa sawit PTPN VII Lampung. Karakteristik ini dapat dijadikan acuan pengelolaan lahan agar dapat meningkatkan cadangan air bawah tanah. Nilai hantaran hidrolik jenuh pada lokasi gawangan mati berkisar antara 2.9-30.4 cm jam-1 dengan kelas sedang sampai sangat cepat, pada lokasi piringan berkisar antara 2.5-13.4 cm jam-1 dengan kelas agak lambat sampai cepat, dan pada lokasi berupa jalan pikul nilai hantaran hidrolik jenuhnya berkisar antara 1.6-12.8 cm jam-1 yang berada pada kelas agak lambat sampai cepat. Tingginya hantaran hidrolik pada gawangan mati disebabkan terjaganya struktur tanah oleh tumpukan pelepah yang sudah mati. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa aktifitas pemanenan yang intensif menurunkan nilai hantaran hidrolik jenuh tanah pada areal piringan dan jalan pikul tempat mengangkut hasil panen disebabkan peningkatan kepadatan tanah.
