Abstract

Mercury is one of the heavy metals that has the highest toxicity in the global environment. Mercury can cause environmental damage and if it enters the food chain it can have negative impacts on human health. In overcoming the problem of mercury entering the food chain, it is very important to study the mobility and distribution of mercury in the soil. The presence of mercury (Hg2+) in soil is largely controlled by adsorption reactions with certain specific adsorption patterns. Therefore, it is very important to study mercury adsorption on several different types of soil in order to get an idea of ??how adsorption occurs in West Sumbawa Regency. The aim of this research is to determine the pattern and capacity of mercury adsorption on various large groups of soil in West Sumbawa Regency and the relationship between soil properties and mercury adsorption. The results of the research show that the adsorption isotherm pattern in the great soil groups Endoaquepts, Ustipsamments, and Udorthents more closely follows the Langmuir adsorption model, while the great soil groups Haplustepts, Hapludolls, Eutrudepts and Ustifluvents follow the Freundlich adsorption model. The major soil group that has the highest maximum mercury adsorption capacity in West Sumbawa Regency is Endoaquepts at 4,604 mg/g.

Abstract

This research investigates the effect of soil amendments in the form of cow, form goat manures and PGPR biofertilizer on cotton plants intercropped with corn in the dry lands of North Lombok Regency. The research aims is to determine the growth and yield response of cotton plants due to the application of soil amendments and PGPR in an intercropped system with corn in dryland areas. The research was conducted from December 2023 to June 2024 in Andalan Village, Bayan District, North Lombok Regency. The method used is an experimental method with field trials. The design used was Randomized Block Design (RBD), incorporating two factors: soil amendment treatment (P) as the main plot and PGPR (K) concentration treatments as the subplot. Soil amendments consisted of three levels: P0 (no cow manure and no goat manure), P1 (20 tons/ha cow manure), P2 (20 tons/ha goat manure). PGPR concentration consisted of four levels: K0 (without PGPR), K1 (20 ml/liter PGPR application), K2 (30 ml/liter PGPR application), and K3 (40 ml/liter PGPR application). The research results indicated that the application of 20 tons/ha of goat manure (P2) produced the highest average across all observed parameters (plant height, number of leaves, branch number, stem diameter, and plant yield). Similarly, the application of 40 ml/liter PGPR produced the highest average for these observed parameters. Based on the results of the land equivalent ratio (LER) analysis, this integration system shows highly suitable and relevant to be applied in the dry lands of North Lombok.
