Abstract

Nitrogen is a macronutrient for plants, but its availability in saline soil is a limiting factor, making it difficult to cultivate plants. This study aims to examine the effect of the combination of Azotobacter sp. and cow manure in increasing the available N of saline soil, and to obtain the best combination in increasing the growth of tomato plants in saline soil. This research was conducted in the greenhouse and laboratory of UPN "Veteran" Jawa Timur. Saline soil samples came from the Wonorejo Mangrove land, Surabaya. Azotobacter sp. isolates came from the roots of Wonorejo mangrove trees. The study used a Completely Randomized Design with 2 factors with 3 replications. First factor was addition of Azotobacter sp., consisted of A0 (no addition of Azotobacter), and A1 (addition Azotobacter at 107 CFU/mL. Second factor was cow manure (K) involved 4 levels (in ton/ha): A0 (0); K1 (20); K2 (30); K3 (40). The results of this research showed that application of Azotobacter sp. and cow manure affected the parameters of available N, EC, pH and vitamin C content, but did not affect the parameters of plant root length. Combination of Azotobacter 107 CFU/mL + 40 tons/ha of cow manure produced the best available N of 246.48 ppm. The highest vitamin C content was 36.75 mg/g in the treatment of 107 CFU/mL Azotobacter + 30 ton/ha of cow manure. Cow manure decreased soil EC and increased soil pH.

Abstract

Soil salinity can damage soil structure due to its high sodium chloride content, leading to soil erosion and reduced aeration, which decreases the ability of plants to absorb water and inhibits plant growth. One approach to overcome this problem is by improving the chemical properties of saline soil; therefore, research on the application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and manure is needed. This study aimed to determine whether the addition of manure and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi at appropriate rates could improve the chemical properties of saline soil. A completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors was used, in which the first factor was the dose of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi with four levels and the second factor was manure application with two levels, each repeated three times, resulting in eight treatments and 24 experimental units. The results showed that although the application of mycorrhizal fungi and manure did not significantly affect soil pH or electrical conductivity (EC), a single factor manure treatment increased soil pH and reduced EC values, while a single factor treatment of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi reduced soil EC values. The combined application of manure and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi significantly increased N-available (NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻) during the first week after the application of 20 ton/ha of manure and 105 CFU/mL of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (M1K1).

Abstract

Village tourism is increasingly viewed as strategic because it not only drives economic growth but also preserves culture and the environment. Tompo Bulu Village in Pangkep Regency has natural tourism potential in the form of hills, trekking trails, waterfalls, and caves, but the lack of navigation infrastructure makes it difficult for tourists. Through the 2025 National Community Service Program (KKN Kebangsaan XIII), participatory community service was conducted, involving students and local residents in installing nature trail markers. The implementation method included field observation, village deliberations, design, construction, and installation of signs, as well as evaluation through route trials. Additionally, pre- and post-tests were conducted to gauge community understanding of the importance of tourism navigation and sustainable destination management. The results of the activity resulted in the installation of 11 identity boards and directions at strategic points leading to Mount Batu Pute, Tombolo Waterfall, and Goa Passosoang Tunabbaka. The impact was seen in increased tourist accessibility, strengthened visual identity of the destination, digital promotion through social media, and the growth of local micro-business opportunities. Theoretical analysis shows that this simple intervention supports the principles of Community-Based Tourism, strengthens the destination's image, and paves the way for sustainable ecotourism. This activity faced limitations of time, funding, and material durability, yet it succeeded in making a real contribution to the transformation of Tompo Bulu into a tourist village.

Abstract

The potential for biodiversity, including a variety of tree, shrub, and bush species, is particularly pronounced in ecosystems characterized by high biodiversity, which influences the soil's capacity to retain water—the greater the species diversity within an ecosystem, its ability to sequester CO2 increases. Lambosir Hill is one of the hills located within the protected forest area of Mount Ciremai National Park (TNGC). This study aimed to assess the level of plant vegetation diversity on Lambosir Hill and examine the relationship between biodiversity and carbon stocks. This study was conducted in Lambosir Hill, Mount Ciremai National Park in Kuningan Province, West Java. This study began in November 2022 and ended in March 2023. Activities related to data processing were carried out at the Land Resources Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, National Development University “Veteran” East Java. The study results showed low diversity at the shrub level and moderate at the tree level. The highest carbon stock was found in Sonokeling and the weakest in Hamerang. The land use type, slope, and vegetation composition influence these values’ differences. These results show the importance of permanent vegetation in supporting carbon stocks and ecosystem stability. It is recommended that woody tree vegetation such as Sonokeling be preserved to maintain the sustainability of carbon reserves in this conservation area.

Abstract

Environmental factors, particularly salinity conditions, influence the function of mangrove forests. Salinity plays a crucial role in the growth, resilience, and zonation of mangrove species. Therefore, it is essential to analyze salinity levels. This study aims to assess salinity levels to determine their effect on soil fertility and to evaluate the influence of the distance from salinity sources in the Wonorejo Mangrove area. Soil sampling was conducted at distances ranging from 5 meters to 60 meters from the riverbank, along three designated paths: J1 (first path), J2 (second path), and J3 (third path). Both composite and intact soil samples were collected. Composite and intact soil samples were taken at intervals from 5 to 60 meters from the riverbank, with each path containing two sampling points, resulting in a total of six sample points (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6), each repeated three times. The observed parameters included soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), soil permeability, soil texture, cation exchange capacity, and organic carbon content. The results of the chemical and physical analyses of the mangrove forest soil samples indicate that salinity levels range from high to very high. This finding is evidenced by the lowest EC value recorded in soil sample T3U3, which was 15.9 dS/m, indicating high salinity.

Abstract

Soil salinity reduces nutrient availability and inhibits plant growth. While red spinach (Amaranthus tricolor L.) exhibits tolerance to suboptimal conditions, its growth declines significantly under high salinity stress. This study evaluated the efficacy of microbially immobilized biochar in ameliorating the chemical properties of saline-stressed soil and enhancing red spinach growth. The experiment employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors: biochar dose (0, 15, 30, and 45 t ha⁻¹) and NaCl salinity levels (0, 4, 6, and 8 mS cm⁻¹), with three replications totaling 48 experimental units. Soil parameters measured included pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon (C), and cation exchange capacity (CEC) at 0 and 28 days after planting (DAP), while fresh plant weight was recorded at 28 DAP. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by a 5% Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. Results indicated that biochar application significantly influenced soil pH and CEC. The 30 t ha⁻¹ treatment yielded the highest pH (7.31) at 28 DAP, whereas the 45 t ha⁻¹ treatment achieved the maximum CEC (61.84 cmol kg⁻¹). NaCl stress significantly increased soil EC from 0.93 to 8.69 mS cm⁻¹ at the highest dose, while organic carbon remained unaffected by either treatment. Although the 15 t ha⁻¹ dose was optimal for pH improvement and the 45 t ha⁻¹ dose for CEC enhancement, the 45 t ha⁻¹ treatment overall proved most effective in improving the chemical properties of saline soil and supporting red spinach growth, maintaining stable pH, EC, CEC, and organic carbon values through 28 DAP.

Abstract

Background: Soil contamination occurs when chemical produced by humans pollute and alter the natural conditions of the soil. Contamination caused by heavy metals is very dangerous and can cause harm to the life of organisms through the food chain.  This study aims to determine the effectiveness of biochar and Bacillus sp in reducing Cd heavy metal levels. This study used contaminated soil with Cd levels of 2.59 ppm, pH 7.52, C-organic 1.30%, and CEC 18.35 Cmol/kg. Methodology: The research method used a factorial randomized block design with 2 treatment factors, each consisting of 3 levels: the first factor is biochar dosage, comprising B0 (without biochar), B1 (biochar 20 tons/ha, and B2 (biochar 40 tons/ha) and the second factor is bacterial concentration, comprising C0 (without Bacillus sp), C1 (Bacillus concentration 105), as well as C2 (Bacillus concentration 108). Further analysis if there are different ANOVA results, the BNJ 5% Test will be performed. Findings: the results showed that the combination of biochar 40 tons/ha with bacillus 105 (B2C1) was able to reduce Cd heavy metal levels by 52% over a 4-week incubation period, in addition to reducing heavy metal levels, it also increased soil pH. Cations that are on the surface of the biochar will exchange ions with heavy metals in the soil. Carboxyl –COOH functional groups found in biochar can be released as H+ ions, forming complexes with heavy metal ions and heavy metal ions will be bind to the surface of Bacillus sp. cells containing carboxyl groups, renderingthe the heavy metals unavailable.  Contribution: this study reveals the combination of biochar and Bacillus, where biochar provides an optimal microbial habitat, thuereby increasing remediation efficiency. In addition to knowing the interaction between organic materials with heavy metals and the development of natural and sustainable remediation

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sifat kimia tanah dan menentukan status kesuburan tanah pada kawasan Wisata Pacet Hill Kabupaten Mojokerto yang memiliki topografi berbukit dan rentan terhadap erosi serta pencucian hara. Analisis dilakukan terhadap pH, kapasitas tukar kation (KTK), kejenuhan basa, fosfor, kalium, dan karbon organik sebagai indikator utama produktivitas tanah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pH tanah berkisar masam hingga agak masam, KTK tergolong tinggi hingga sangat tinggi, dan kejenuhan basa bervariasi sangat luas dari sangat rendah hingga tinggi. Kandungan fosfor dan kalium menunjukkan distribusi yang tidak merata sesuai kondisi lereng dan vegetasi, sedangkan karbon organik relatif tinggi pada lokasi dengan tutupan vegetasi rapat. Berdasarkan metode matching, status kesuburan tanah di Pacet Hill berada pada kategori rendah hingga tinggi, dengan variasi yang dipengaruhi oleh ketinggian tempat, kemiringan lereng, serta akumulasi bahan organik. Elevasi rendah menunjukkan kesuburan lebih baik dibanding elevasi menengah dan tinggi yang mengalami pencucian basa lebih kuat. Hasil penelitian ini menegaskan perlunya pengelolaan berbasis konservasi melalui penambahan bahan organik, pengapuran, vegetasi penutup tanah, serta pengaturan aktivitas wisata untuk mempertahankan stabilitas kimia tanah dan keberlanjutan ekosistem kawasan wisata.

Abstract

This community service program was implemented at the Sabilus Salam Sharia Cooperative, Notorejo Hamlet, Wonosalam District, Jombang Regency, East Java. It involved 25 farmers and 10 cooperative members, and was facilitated by a service team consisting of four lecturers and one master’s (S2) student. The uniqueness of this program lies in the utilization of kascing (earthworm castings) based on the local wisdom of Wonosalam, integrated with the use of local organic waste and the strengthening of cooperative institutions through a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. This distinguishes the program from conventional organic fertilizer training, which is typically one-directional. The objective of the activity was to enhance farmers’ capacity to produce and apply both liquid and solid organic fertilizers based on kascing, in order to reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers and improve soil quality. The methods employed included socialization, participatory training, field assistance, and experimental demonstration plots. Standardized laboratory test results indicated an increase in soil pH from 3.25 to 5.42, organic carbon (C-organic) from 0.23% to 0.53%, as well as improvements in the levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Post-training evaluation showed that 84% of participants understood the stages of kascing fertilizer production, and 72% had applied it on their respective farms. Overall, the program proved effective in measurably improving soil quality and strengthening the independence of farmers and the cooperative in developing sustainable agriculture based on local resources..

Abstract

The accumulation of sodium (Na) due to the continuous use of sipramin reduces the physical, chemical, and biological quality of soil, thereby affecting nitrogen (N) availability and microbial activity. This study aimed to evaluate the combined effect of humic acid and different nitrogen fertilizer sources on nitrogen availability (NH₄+ and NO₃-) and bacterial population dynamics in sipramin-affected paddy soil. The experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions using a completely randomized factorial design with two factors: humic acid doses (0, 20, 40, and 60 kg ha-¹) and nitrogen fertilizer sources (NPK Phonska, urea, KNO₃, and MAP) at an equivalent rate of 92 kg N ha-¹. Observations included NH₄+, NO₃-, and total bacterial populations, and data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that the interaction between humic acid and nitrogen fertilizer did not significantly affect nitrogen availability. However, both factors individually showed significant effects on NO₃- availability, indicating their role in influencing nitrogen dynamics. Bacterial populations increased from 7 to 21 Day After Treatment (DAT) and decreased at 42 DAT, reflecting temporal microbial dynamics during incubation. Although changes in bacterial populations coincided with variations in nitrogen forms, this relationship could not be directly confirmed due to the limitation of total culturable bacteria analysis. These findings highlight the importance of humic acid and nitrogen fertilizer management in regulating nitrogen dynamics under high-Na soil conditions, while further studies on specific microbial groups are needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms.
