Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan distribusi vertikal dan status N, P, dan K dalam profil tanah perkebunan kelapa sawit skala kecil di Kecamatan Kuala, Kabupaten Langkat, Sumatera Utara. Penelitian ini dilakukan di tiga desa yaitu Raja Tengah, Balai Kasih, dan Parit Bindu menggunakan metode survei deskriptif. Dua lubang profil tanah dibuat di setiap desa, dan sampel tanah dikumpulkan pada tiga kedalaman (0–20, 20–40, dan 40–60 cm), menghasilkan total 18 sampel. Sampel dianalisis menggunakan metode Kjeldahl untuk N, Bray II untuk P, dan ekstraksi NH4OAc pH 7 untuk K, kemudian dibandingkan dengan kriteria nutrisi tanah Lembaga Penelitian Tanah Indonesia (2005). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kandungan N secara konsisten menurun seiring kedalaman di semua lokasi (0,07–0,33%), sedangkan P (<0,01–22,02 ppm) dan K (0,07–0,88 me/100 g) sangat bervariasi di antara lokasi dan kedalaman. Raja Tengah dan Parit Bindu didominasi oleh status N rendah, P sangat rendah, dan K sangat rendah, sedangkan Balai Kasih didominasi oleh status N rendah, P sedang, dan K sedang hingga tinggi. Perbedaan antar lokasi dikaitkan dengan topografi, drainase, dan bahan induk tanah. Disimpulkan bahwa pengelolaan pupuk pada lahan kelapa sawit skala kecil di Kabupaten Kuala harus spesifik lokasi dan berdasarkan analisis profil tanah, bukan praktik seragam berdasarkan pengalaman.

Abstract

Oil palm seedling growth in acid mineral soils is often constrained by low soil fertility and limited nutrient retention, making organic amendments a potential strategy to improve growing media quality while reducing mineral fertilizer input. This study evaluated the effects of biochar and solid decanter, applied individually or in combination, on soil chemical properties and leaf nutrient status of oil palm seedlings under reduced  compound mineral fertilizer rates. The experiment was arranged in a non-factorial randomized block design with seven treatments and four replications. The treatments were P0: without soil amendment + 100% NPK fertilizer; P1: 0.6 kg plant−1 solid decanter + 75% NPK fertilizer; P2: 0.6 kg plant−1 solid decanter + 50% NPK fertilizer; P3: 1.5 kg plant−1 biochar + 75% NPK fertilizer; P4: 1.5 kg plant−1 biochar + 50% NPK fertilizer; P5: 0.6 kg plant−1 solid decanter + 1.5 kg plant−1 biochar + 75% NPK fertilizer; and P6: 0.6 kg plant−1 solid decanter +1.5 kg plant−1 biochar + 50% NPK fertilizer. After 14 weeks of treatment application, the treatment packages significantly affected soil organic carbon, total soil nitrogen, leaf phosphorus concentration, and soil exchangeable potassium. Soil organic carbon increased from 1.33% in the control to 5.83% in the combined biochar and solid decanter treatment with 50% NPK fertilizer. Total soil nitrogen also increased from 0.13% to 0.49% under the same treatment. However, soil pH, soil available phosphorus, leaf nitrogen, and leaf potassium were not significantly affected. These findings indicate that the integrated amendment-fertilizer packages, particularly the combination of biochar + solid decanter + 50% NPK fertilizer, improved soil organic carbon and total soil nitrogen and supported selected nutrient parameters, including leaf phosphorus concentration and soil exchangeable potassium, under a 25% to 50% reduction in the recommended NPK fertilizer rate.
