Abstract

Soil biomass carbon microorganism (C-mic) is one indicator of soil fertility. The application of humic acid, vermicompost aqueous extract, and TSP fertilization applied to the soil will affect the activity of soil microorganisms. This research aimed to study the effect of humic acid, vermicompost extract, and TSP fertilization on C-mic. The first factor was the application of humic acid (h), namely, without humic acid, commercial origin, and humic acid-like from watery extract vermicompost. The second factor is TSP fertilization (p) divided into four dose levels: without TSP fertilizer, TSP fertilizer 100 kg ha-1, TSP fertilizer 200 kg ha-1, and TSP fertilizer 300 kg ha-1. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and continued with the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at the 5% significance level. The correlation between C-organic, soil pH, soil temperature, soil moisture content, stalk dry weight, and weight of corn kernels with C-mic was tested by correlation test. The results showed that the application of humic acid and TSP fertilization had no significant effect on C-mic, and there was no interaction between the two at seven days after planting (DAP), 56 DAP, and 104 DAP. There was a correlation between soil organic carbon 7 DAP (r: 0.34*), 56 DAP (r: 0.59*), and 104 DAP (r: 0.53*), soil moisture content at 7 DAP (r: 0.36*), soil pH at 56 DAP (r: 0.42*) and 104 DAP (r: 0.43*), soil temperature at 104 DAP (r: -0.52*), stalk dry weight at 56 DAP (r: 0.34*), corn kernels weight at 113 DAP (r: 0.65*) with C-mic.

Abstract

The abundance and biomass of earthworms are affected by soil tillage and fertilization. This research aimed to study long-term 32nd-year soil tillage and nitrogen fertilization on the population and biomass of earthworms under Zea mays L. The research was conducted using a randomized block design (RBD) which consisted of two factors. The first factor was the soil tillage that was Intensive Tillage (IT), Minimum Tillage (MT), and No-Tillage (NT). The Second factor was nitrogen fertilization that was N0 = 0 kg N ha-1 and N1= 200 kg N ha-1. Data of earthworm population and biomass were tested using analysis of variance and continued with the least significant difference (LSD) test at the 95% significant level. The population and biomass of earthworms at MT or NT were higher than IT. The population and biomass of earthworms in the plots without fertilization were higher than those at 200 kg N ha-1. There was an interaction between the soil tillage and N fertilization on earthworm biomass observed 60 days after planting at a 0-10 cm depth. There was a positive correlation between soil pH and earthworm population and biomass before the tillage phase.

Abstract

Sustainable soil management practices must enhance or maintain soil quality and crop yields. The objective of this experiment was to study the effect of long-term (32 years) tillage system and nitrogen fertilization residue on soil biochemical properties and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) yields. This research was conducted using four replications, a factorial experiment arranged in a randomized block design. The first factor was tillage systems consisting of intensive tillage (T1) and no-tillage (T2) and the second factor was nitrogen fertilization residue (N) consisting of N1 (0 kg N ha-1) and N2 (200 kg N ha-1). Data were analyzed using analysis of variance; if there was a significant difference will be continued with the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at 5%. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) determined the relationship among observed variables. The results showed that no-tillage could give better results on soil respiration and soil bacteria and fungi population than intensive tillage. Lower soil pH was found at 200 kg N ha-1 fertilizer residue than control (without N fertilizer). The cowpea growth and yields were high at long-term N1T2 and N2T1 treatment. Principal component analysis showed an interrelationship among soil biochemical properties, growth, and yield of cowpea.

Abstract

Intensive tillage will continuously reduce soil quality, characterized by decreased soil organic-C. Low soil organic-C indicates the disturbance of soil fertility. More conservative soil management experiments have been done for seven years to restore the soil quality for sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) productivity. This research aimed to study the effect of the tillage system, bagasse mulch, and their interactions on soil chemical properties and sugarcane agronomic response. The research was conducted on a Split Plot of five groups. The main plot was the tillage system consisting of intensive tillage and no-tillage, while the subplot was the bagasse mulch consisting of bagasse mulch and no-bagasse mulch. This study found that in sugarcane cultivation, no-tillage system was beneficial for soil P-available, sugarcane length, and sugarcane ripening; bagasse mulch was beneficial for soil organic-C and also soil P-available. The no-tillage system to increase P-available can be combined with bagasse mulch or no-bagasse mulch, but the no-tillage system combined with no-bagasse mulch increases the percentage of gap in sugarcane cultivation.

Abstract

Agro-industrial waste such as banana weevil, pineapple rhizome, and empty fruit bunches of oil palm has not been utilized properly, even though the waste can be processed into liquid organic fertilizer after extracting the beneficial microorganisms contained in it. This research aimed to observe and study soil organisms’ activity after applying plant extract suspensions and compost types. The research was conducted at the Integrated Field Laboratory and Soil Science Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung. The treatments were designed in a 3 × 3 factorial design in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. The first factor was the plant suspension extracts derived from banana weevil, pineapple rhizome, and oil palm empty fruit bunches, while the second factor was the compost in the form of solid compost and liquid compost. The results showed the activity of soil organisms in the form of respiration, soil microbial carbon biomass, soil microbial population, and mesofauna population, which was applied to a suspension of plant extracts from pineapple rhizome, given the highest yield. Furthermore, the bacterial phosphate dissolution index and the diversity of soil mesofauna applied to liquid compost were higher than those of solid compost or without compost. There was no interaction between the application of plant extract suspension and the compost types on the soil organism’s activity.
