ABSTRACT The obstacle to agricultural development in peatlands is the low nutrient content needed for plant growth. One effort that can be done to increase agricultural productivity in peatlands is a friendly environmental fertilization. This research aims to find out the role of indigenous phosphate solubilizing microbes in enhanced peat soil fertility in Kampar District in 2014 by using a Factorial Randomized Block Design with 3 replications. First factor was MPF inoculation (control; Burkholderia gladioli and penicillium aculeatum), and the second factor was Ameliorants (Control, Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (TKKS) Compost, 4 kg TKKS compost/polybag and 25% recommended dosage, 4 kg TKKS compost/polybag and 50% recommended dosage, 4 kg TKKS compost/polybag and 75% recommended dosage, 4 kg TKKS compost/polybag and 100% P recommended dosage. Soil Nutrient analyses carried out at the laboratories of Vegetable Crops Research Institute Lembang. The parameters observed were: soil content of nutrients N, P, K, Ca, and Mg. The results showed that the indigenous phosphate solubilizing microbe increased the soil's nutrient content.
