The main problem faced by sloping lands in the humid tropic includes land degradation influencing natural ecosystem damage broadly. Land conversion and improper land-use have been widely recognized as the main cause of environmental damage since the demands for agricultural lands become greater than land resource available. The objective of this study was to determine the concept of appropriate land-use planning through environmentally sound spatial management in order to prevent land and environmental degradation. The sub-district of Antang Kalang was chosen as study area representing sloping lands in humid tropic that have a susceptibility to erosion. Conservation approach by the use of USLE erosion risk prediction model and land evaluation through land suitability classification was used in this study. The geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) technology were applied to generate spatial basic information and to assist in spatial analysis. Two crops, upland rice, and rubber, representing food crop and estate p have been selected based on the local resource that has been existed since a long time ago. The result of spatial analysis shown that the arable land for agricultural practices covers 9,039 hectares (23.19%) while for non-arable land, it is allocated for forest preservation with total areas 29,934 hectares (76.81%). Land-use planning and land resources management involving conservation aspect and land suitability evaluation should be taken into account for farming practice at sloping lands areas since the value of soil loss potential appears as an indicator of erosion risk. Permanent cultivation system and the intercropping farming system is the option of recommended agricultural practice at sloping lands in the humid tropic that have a susceptibility to erosion.

Nowadays the innovations in organic agriculture systems continue to be developed to achieve a sustainable agriculture system. In Indonesia with high rainfall, nutrient loss is still a major problem. The application of zeolite and manure as a soil amendment is expected to increase nutrients available in soil and cation exchange capacity of the soil in the long term. The results on the first planting season showed a significant increase in chemical soil fertility. The objective of this study is to research the effect of residue zeolite and manure on soil chemical fertility and yields of the second planting season. This study used a complete randomized block design. The factors were a dose of zeolite (Z1: 2.5 tons ha -1; Z2: 5 tons ha-1) and kind of manure (P1: quail manure; P2: cow manure), with three replications. The result showed that zeolite treatment of 5 tons ha-1 and cow manure increased the total N soil by 27.78% and 45.4% compared to the control. The treatment of quail manure increased soil organic matter 78.78% compared to the control. The treatment of cow manure increased the green bean yield 28.76% compared to the control.

Activities of Old Lawu volcano in the past resulted in various soil development in the south side of the volcano, especially in the area of the east side of Wonogiri and west side of Ponorogo, that located in the Java island. This area is also famous as herbal crops producer for raw materials of traditional herbal medicine industry. The purpose of this research is to identify the process of exposure of the parent materials in the Old Lawu volcanic environment, the development of the soil parent materials, and the mineralogy variation. Four Sites with different geological formation were observed, and each Site was selected for soil profile identification on the process of weathering of rocks. All layers of each profile were then sampled and then sand fraction of the fine earth particle was determined for the mineral type using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that materials of the Old Lawu volcanic activity that was of quaternary period had sized material of gravel, sand, silt, and clay. These materials were then exposed and undergone the process of weathering, transportation, and sedimentation according to the landform at that period. The development of soil as geoheritage in this region was influenced by the material size, landform, and settling process. There are four typologies of the environment on the soil development at the present study, there are: (1) Soil that developed in the inter-fluvial basins is characterized by thick soil and a clear horizon differentiation process as a feature of maturity stage of soil development. (2) Soil developed on the slope of hill area is characterized by shallow in solum and it is in early-stage soil development. (3) Soil developed on the volcanic materials that were transported and sedimented in the river environment is characterized by the thick soil above the layered fine size parent material with a variety of color. (4) Soil developed on the tertiary breccia showed early soil development.

The electroplating industry produces liquid waste containing a small number of heavy metals but is toxic. Wastewater containing chromium (Cr) absorbed into the soil will affect soil fertility. Waste management is needed so that the abiotic and biotic environment is not poisoned by Cr. Bioremediation using bacterial and fungal microbes are applicable to reduce Cr levels in electroplating liquid waste. The purpose of this research was to investigate the reduction level of Cr in electroplating liquid waste through bioremediation using Bacillus subtilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Laboratory experiments were conducted using variations in microbial concentrations (102.5 cells ml-1 and 105 cells ml-1), variations in microbial types (Bacillus subtilis bacteria, Saccharomyces cerevisiae fungi, and mixtures of both microbes), and variations in incubation time (6, 12, and 24 hours). The initial Cr concentration and the results of the bioremediation process were determined by measuring the absorbance and the Cr levels using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Based on experiments, the use of Bacillus subtilis 102.5 cells ml-1 with a 24-hour incubation time reach the highest percentage reduction in Cr (88.96%), followed by 12-hours incubation time (84.73%), and 6-hours incubation time (79.21%). Furthermore, the use of a microbial mixture of Bacillus subtilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae 102.5 cells ml-1 with 6-hours, 12-hours and 24-hours incubation time was able to reduce the levels of Cr respectively by 77.46%; 80.18% and 83.04%. Next, Saccharomyces cerevisiae 105 cells ml-1 with 6-hours, 12-hours, and 24-hours incubation time was able to reduce levels of Cr in a row by 50.17%; 52.35% and 55.63%. The results of this study indicate that the bioremediation process using the microbial Bacillus subtilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae is proven to reduce the levels of Cr in the electroplating industry wastewater. The highest reduction results were achieved on the use of 24-hour incubation time and the use of Bacillus subtilis with a concentration of 102.5 cells ml-1 at 88.96%.

Field bean (Dolichos lablab), adzuki bean (Vigna angularis), pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) and winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) are a group of peas or legumes which used as an alternative food beside groundnut, soybean or mung bean. The day length or planting season is one factor that affects plants to flower. Long day or bean offseason can inhibit plants to flower, especially for short-day plants. covering the plant from sunlight may trigger a quick flowering of plants. The purpose of this research was to find out how to prompt plants to flower, growth, and yield during the off-season period in a very short time. This research was conducted by using a Randomized Completed Block Design (RCBD) with 2 factors. The first factor was shortening the day length (control, black plastic cover for 2 hours day-1, plant under trees canopy covered) and the second factor was some kind of peas (field bean, adzuki bean, pigeon pea, and winged bean). Black plastic cover was used 2 hours a day-1 during 30 days after 14 days of plantation. The research was replicated 3 times. The results showed that field bean combinations with control and plastic closure gave a higher number of pods. For all field bean treatments, plastic-closure on pigeon pea and also winged bean provided higher straw fresh weight than control and plastic closure on adzuki bean and winged bean under the tree. Covering plants using plastic for 2 hours day-1 tends to increase e the total flowering number and seed yield at each plant. The growth component showed that field bean was higher than adzuki bean, winged bean, and pigeon pea. The effort to shorten a long day plantation had no significant effect on many variables due to climate anomaly in the 2017 rain show on start to finish this year. However, pigeon pea did not have flowers when planted on a long day or offseason period.

This research was column pot experiment with turfgrass was Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) plant irrigated saline irrigation and the column soaked in saline water. Rootzone profile consisted of 20 cm using saline lake dredged up sand. The sand amendments of the root zone were soil, zeolite, bottom ash, and peat. The mixtures of topsoil were; 90% sand + 10% peat moss, 80% sand + 10% soil + 10 % bottom ash, 80% sand + 20% soil, 90% sand + 5% peat + 5% zeolite, and 80% sand + 20% bottom ash. Interruption layer with coarse sand with diameters over 2 mm of 20 cm and 10 cm loamy soil as the bottom layer of the column. The result showed that Kentucky bluegrass could grow in sand based growing media amended by peat, sandy loam soils, bottom ash and zeolite being irrigated by 2 dS m-1 saline water. Sand-based growing media amended by peat resulted in the highest clipping weigh but showed the highest salt accumulations. Sand amended by bottom ash and applied gypsum decreased clipping weigh, decreased SAR and increased calcium (Ca) when compared to the soil + peat (SP). Sand amended by zeolite and gypsum decreased clipping weight, decreased sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) and higher Ca. Higher soil moisture retention of growing media promoted the growth of Kentucky bluegrass in spring, and lower moisture content promoted the growth in summer and fall season.

Climate change is a global concern arising from spatial or temporal changes in precipitation, temperature and greenhouse gases. The impacts of this on critical climate-sensitive areas are largely on land, marine resources, forestry and agriculture, and their biodiversity and ecosystems. In Papua New Guinea (PNG), the mainstay (85%) of the rural people is on land and agriculture, compared to resources obtained from the marine areas and forest. Productivity on land depends on climatic factors and a compromised climate affects land, which in turn affects forestry, agriculture and the marine environment (resources and ecosystems). Because of this, a lot of resources have been invested in climate change to understand the impacts; however, much is yet to be achieved, especially in the developing nations. In PNG, understanding the types of changes in climate that will be experienced is important to be resilient, to mitigate and to adapt. In this review, the potential impact of global climate change on climate of PNG and the impact of the new (future) climate on land, marine and forest resources and their biodiversity and ecosystems are analyzed. Moreover, the impacts on crop agriculture are discussed. Analysis of available data shows that the temporal and spatial changes in precipitation and temperature projections of the future climate are within current optimum crop production ranges, at least up to 2090. Since most staple and plantation crops in PNG are C3 plants, an increase in CO2 levels will have a fertilizing effect on productivity. The plastic effects on certain crops may benefit some farmers as temperature, precipitation and CO2 levels change.

The problem of Fertilization, especially micro fertilizers, is toxication due to the excessive application. Using the concept of slow release fertilizer is a very possible solution to overcome the problem. The objectives of this study are 1) to characterize corn cobs activated carbon for slow release micro fertilizer carrier, 2) to produce and to test of slow release micro fertilizer.The research was carried out by converting corn cobs into activated carbon with an activation temperature of 600 ˚C and water vapor for 90 minutes. Production of slow release fertilizer was carried out by soaking activated carbon in a solution of CuSO4, FeSO4 and ZnSO4 1N for 24 hours. The results of micro fertilizer were then characterized, then the solubility test was carried out. The results of the characteristic analysis showed that some parameters that could be used as fertilizer carriers include, iodine adsorption 404.21 mg g-1, adsorption of methylene blue 16.88 mg g-1, the pore volume of 0.19 cc mg-1 and surface area of 315.77 m2 g-1. While, based on the results of micronutrient solubility test the highest nutrient content that can be absorbed by activated carbon (AA) is found in Cu, followed by Zn and Fe. It relates to the characteristics possessed by activated carbon namely specific surface area, pore volume, and nutrient diameter size.

Proper transport of iron is very crucial for plant growth and development as it participates in various complex processes in plants like absorption, translocation etc. It also acts as an important component for processes like photosynthesis and respiratory electron transport chain in mitochondria, chloroplast development, and chlorophyll biosynthesis. Asian soils suffer from iron toxic condition and that adversely affects the growth and yield of the plant. This review describes the importance of iron in plant growth and different strategies adopted by plants for iron uptake. It also focuses on different methods and approaches on how plant can cope against acidic soils.
