Abstract

Excessive use of pesticides in the process of cultivating shallots results in contamination of the soil. Indigenous bacteria in soil that contaminated with the chlorpyrifos pesticide suspected could used as bioremediation agent of soil contaminated with chlorpyrifos pesticide. The purpose of this study was to identify and obtain a consortium of bacteria capable in degrading pesticides on shallot fields contaminated with the pesticide chlorpyrifos. The method used in this research is the bacteria isolation using soil extract, morphological identification, molecullar identification using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), analysis of bacterial diversity index and consortium bacterial degradation test in order to reduce levels of the chlorpyrifos pesticide. The results of this study found 16 isolates of bacteria at each study site that were resistant to 100ppm of the pesticide chlorpyrifos so that these isolates were chosen to be used as a consortium of bacteria. Molecular identification of the bacterial consortium showed that there were 10 genera consisting of Cutibacterium, Streptomyces, Staphylococcus, Ensifer, Ochrobactrum, Achromobacter, Escherichia shigella, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, and Pseudomonas. The bacterial diversity index in shallot soils reached 2,040 and 1,467 on forest soils The reduction efficiency of the bacterial consortium using the method of growing cells and supernatant were 94.48% and 98.88%, respectively.

Abstract

The acidification of agricultural soils should be avoided, and low pH soils should be corrected for better productivity. Soil improvement by applying biochar from agricultural byproducts combined with bentonite, a rich source in Vietnam, is a trend in green agriculture in the country. The current study is important in assessing the potential influences of biochar and bentonite on the pH and pH buffering capacity (pHBC) of low pH soil collected in Cu Chi, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Experimental methods, including biochar preparation (pyrolysis at 300°C, retention time: 2 h), soil incubation (time: 30 days, temperature: 27°C), and pH and pHBC determination, were performed. Research results have shown that biochar and bentonite have contributed to improving the pH and pHBC of gray soil samples. Using 1% bentonite and 1% biochar raised the pH to 6.21 and improved the pHBC of Cu Chi gray soil to 24.1 mmolH+/OH- kg-1. This dose is currently suitable for agricultural production in Vietnam. The study confirmed the applicability of biochar derived from cow manure prepared at a low pyrolysis temperature in combination with bentonite to improve soil parameters such as pH and pHBC in Cu Chi gray soil.

Abstract

The objective of the current study was to examine the impacts of rice straw and garbage enzyme generated from local vegetable and fruit waste on plant growth and carbohydrate or ammonium extraction from paddy soil after one month of growth in a pot experiment. Samples of topsoil were obtained from a depth of 0-15 cm, and the following treatments were applied: control (10 g soil), RS (adding 30 g soil + 0.6 g rice straw), GE (30 g soil + garbage enzyme), and combination (adding 30 g soil+ rice straw and garbage enzyme) maintained at room temperature. The study findings indicated that there were no observable impacts of rice straw and garbage enzyme application on biomass. However, RS addition seems to reduce root length but enhance shoot length. Soil carbohydrates that were extracted ranged from 61 to 207 mg kg−1 soil, and treatments with rice straw addition exhibited significantly higher levels compared to those without it (p < 0.05). The ammonium content was low. It could be concluded that at the initial seedling stage, rice straw has more effects on soil properties and plant growth than garbage enzyme. To fully assess the effects of rice straw and garbage enzyme on soil properties and plant growth, it is recommended that further research be conducted over longer periods

Abstract

Certain areas of Lake Titicaca exhibit signs of contamination from urban drainage, mining tailings, and waste from trout cage farming. The objective of this study was to determine the physicochemical conditions of the water and the concentration of heavy metals in sediments of a trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) farming area in Puno Bay, Lake Titicaca. Water samples were collected at depths of 1, 5, 10, and 15 meters from the surface, as well as from sediments at the bottom of the lake. Additionally, samples were taken 500 meters from the trout breeding area, where no farming activities took place. The study was carried out over a period of 10 months. Some physical-chemical measurements were taken in situ using a multiparametric device, while others were carried out at IMARPE’s laboratory. The results indicate that the physical-chemical quality of the water does not exceed the tolerance limits recommended by the Environmental Quality Standards - ECA Peru. The water pH was 8.79 and the dissolved oxygen was 6.81. The heavy metals (Hg, Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu) found in the sediments were within the permissible limits compared to the ISQG Canada Standard. However, the concentration of As, at 41 mg kg-1, exceeded the tolerance limit. Uncontrolled trends in trout production volumes could compromise water quality and sustainability.

Abstract

This field trial aimed to study the effect of the magnetic treatment (MT) of urea as a nitrogen (N) fertilizer as well as the MT of the groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) seeds before sowing on the crop yield and quality under sandy soil conditions during the summer seasons of 2020 and/or 2021. Treatments were distributed in a split-plots design in triplicates. The control CL has received the recommended dose RD of the N-fertilizer while other treatments received the rates 50, 75, and 100% of the RD as magnetized urea (main factor F1) applied to the surface soil. The sub-factor (F2) was the time of MT (15, 30, and 45 min) of the groundnut seeds exposed to magnetic field MF 1.4 T before planting. Representative samples from the soil and plant were taken after harvesting. At the 15-min time and 100% N-fertilization, the yield of pods and seeds (kg ha-1) has increased relatively by 8.2% and 9.7% respectively, compared to the corresponding CL. At the 30-min time and 50% and 100% N-fertilization, the yield (kg ha-1) has increased relatively by 9.7% and 13.3% respectively for pods and by 10.1% and 16.8% respectively for the seeds. At the 45-min time and 50% N-fertilization, the yield (kg ha-1) has increased by 12.4% and 14.6% for pods and seeds, respectively. The 100% N-fertilization along with 15 min MT before cultivation or the 50% and/or 100% N-fertilization along with 30 min MT or the 50% along with 45 min MT could be recommended. The agronomic efficiency (AE) for the N, P, and K nutrients was increased by the MT in the order 15 min < 30 min < 45 min at the 50, 75, and 100% N-fertilization rates.

Abstract

The native metallophytes species are the optimum choice to restore degraded areas on ultramafic soil. However, a limited restorative floristic survey on the wooded grassland of Mindoro Occidental had been reported. Four 20 m x 20 m plots were established to rapidly assess the plant diversity of a wooded grassland on ultramafic soil in Sta. Cruz, Mindoro Occidental, Philippines. Diversity index (H`), relative density, relative dominance, and importance value (IV) were computed. Physicochemical characteristics and heavy metal contents of the soil in the site were analytically determined. We identified 43 morpho-species of plants belonging to 25 families. Thirty-six of the morpho-species identified are Philippine natives and typically grow on ultramafic forests. Nine species out of the top 10 trees with the highest IV are native ones, with Buchanania arborescens Blume as the most dominant. The estimate of Relative Cover (%) also showed native species. Poles and sapling dominated the area, suggesting that active regeneration is taking place. Further, 72.94% of the ground cover were represented by tree flora recruits (e.g., B. arborescens, Alstonia macrophylla). The sites have overall moderate diversity (H` index of 2.7). The soil contains a high amount of Nickel, Chromium, Iron, and Manganese. There were no Nickel hyperaccumulators but 22 native species showed Aluminum and Silicon hyperaccumulation. Therefore, the study revealed that the surveyed area is home to important metallophytes that have the potential for phytostabilization and reforestation.

Abstract

The accurate estimation of soil organic carbon stocks (SOCs) is crucial in sustainable oil palm plantation management. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) serve as an essential predictive tool for enhancing the interpretation and estimation of soil organic carbon stocks (SOCs) and soil porosity. This study aims to improve the precision of SOCs and soil porosity predictions across diverse soil types within oil palm plantations through the application of PTFs. The study was conducted using a survey approach and descriptive exploration in an oil palm plantation in Seruyan District, Central Kalimantan. The study area encompassed four distinct soil types (Alfisols, Inceptisols, Ultisols, and Entisols), with six replicates for each soil type. Soil samples were collected from a depth of 0–60 cm. Statistical analyses included ANOVA, Tukey’s pairwise comparisons, correlation, and stepwise regression. The results indicated that soil types within oil palm plantations did not significantly affect SOCs but significantly impacted soil porosity. SOCs and porosity estimated using PTFs were lower than those estimated without PTFs. Specifically, SOCs analysis with PTFs ranged from 3.4 to 7.1 kg m-²; without PTFs, the range was higher, between 8.1 and 10.9 kg m-². Among the soil types, Entisols exhibited higher porosity with PTFs (51.3%), while Ultisols had the lowest porosity (37.9%). The PTFs provide better predictions for SOCs and porosity, and predictor variables that contribute the most are sand, silt, bulk density (BD), and cation exchange capacity (CEC). PTFs provide an advanced, data-driven approach to assessing SOCs and soil porosity in oil palm plantations, supporting the development of smarter, sustainable, and highly efficient management strategies.

Abstract

Oil pollution in soil endangers the health of the natural ecosystem on a larger scale. However, the application of biochar as an oil-contaminated soil rehabilitative amendment material is an ecologically friendly practice that supports soil ecological function. Thus, the research was carried out to evaluate ecological and environmental changes and the health condition of biochar-treated oil-polluted Luvic Phaeozems, Albic, Gleyic Albeluvisols, and Greyic Phaeozems Albic soils. A controlled laboratory experiment was set up for 30 days, during which the soils were artificially oil-contaminated at 5% of the soil weight and treated with biochar derived from birch at 10% of the soil weight. At the end of the experiment period, a range of physical, chemical, and biological properties indices were determined. The findings showed that the application of biochar raised the integral biological condition indicator by 77% in Gleyic Albeluvisols, 47% in Luvic Phaeozems Albic, and 18% in Greyic Phaeozems Albic relative to oil-contaminated untreated controls. Moreover, adding biochar resulted in petroleum hydrocarbon content reduction by 48%, 41%, and 33% in Gleyic Albeluvisols, Luvic Phaeozems Albic, and Greyic Phaeozems Albic soils, respectively. These results confirm the efficiency of biochar as an effective agent for the improvement of the oil-contaminated soil health.

Abstract

The Wanagama 1 Forest, owned by Universitas Gadjah Mada  in Playen, is an educational and research forest that is home to different species of trees that are managed and treated differently. Finding the quality index values for different cropping strategies in plot 17 of Wanagama Educational Forest 1 was the aim of this study. The soil quality index was determined using three methods: simple addition, scoring and weighting, and summation. The results show that in plot 17 of the Wanagama forest, the highest soil quality index values were found for ebony species and the lowest soil quality index values were found for mahogany and Eucalyptus species. The results showed that all land uses with different types of forest plants had lower soil quality indices. The stepwise analysis results showed that porosity, organic C, cation exchange capacity (CEC), P availability, K availability, and C biomass influenced the soil quality index. Measuring soil quality can help you learn more about soil properties and how to improve it through effective management.

Abstract

The agricultural sector faces dual challenges of declining soil fertility and unsustainable waste accumulation. This study examines the synergistic effects of fly ash (FA) and plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) on the growth and physiological performance of maize (Zea mays L.) under controlled (potted) conditions. FA, a coal combustion by-product rich in essential minerals, was applied at varying doses (1–4 t ha-1) to assess its potential as a soil amendment with a bacterial strain (BSNK7) inoculated to enhance nutrient uptake and mitigate stress. Results showed a significant increase in fresh and dry biomass, leaf area, and chlorophyll content in treated plants. The combined application of 1 t ha-1 FA in conjunction with PGPB significantly increased fresh biomass by 1.57%, dry biomass by 0.94%, leaf area by 2.21%, and higher chlorophyll content compared to control (FA 0 t ha-1 and without bacteria). In contrast, FA 4 t ha-1, when applied without bacterial inoculation, resulted in reduced fresh biomass by 19.94% and dry biomass by 17.39%, respectively, compared to the control (FA 0 t ha-1 and without bacteria) which indicates the creation of toxicity at elevated doses. These findings suggest that the integrated use of low-dose FA and PGPB can sustainably enhance maize growth while minimizing environmental risks. The Application of appropriate doses of FA with PGPB can increase crop productivity and soil health simultaneously. Further field-based studies are recommended to validate scalability, optimize application rates, and assess the long-term impacts on soil health impacts.
