Abstract

This research aims to obtain erosion and sedimentation rate data in the micro catchment area of Air Lanang using soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) modelling within existing and scenario land uses. Geographically, the study area is located between latitude 3°26`23.48” - 3°31`46.09” S and longitude 102°24`11.74” - 102°28`26.35” E with a total area of 2987.06 ha. Soil analysis was conducted in the Soil Science Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Bengkulu. The research data was analysed using SWAT model. Recorded data in this study were including soil analysis data, soil type map from land unit and soil map book Bengkulu sheet (0912) Sumatra, data of status area from KLHK, Digital Elevation Model National data from BIG, a set of climate data from BMKG, data of administrative border from RBI map Bengkulu Province and data of land use from the interpretation of satellite image and ground checking, as well as the scenario land use which was prepared following the community forest program from the government in the protected forest by converting the coffee plantation located within the protected forest area to woody plants with economic, social and conservative values. The results showed total erosion in the micro catchment area of Air Lanang with the existing land use in 2020 was 820731.87 ton year-1, while in the scenario land use was 288212.45 ton/year which were classified to very light, light, moderate, heavy and very heavy in class erosion. Based on the existing land use data, there was a decrease of erosion in the moderate to very heavy class of erosion for 7.27 % resulting in the very light and light class of erosion become 15.55 % after the simulation of the scenario land use model. The use of scenario land use model is effective to decrease erosion and sedimentation rate. The total sedimentation in the micro catchment area of Air Lanang in existing land use in 2020 was 354949.98 ton year-1 with the highest sedimentation in sub-basin 2 while the lowest sedimentation was found in sub-basin 12. On the other hand, the total sedimentation in the scenario land use model was 137365.04 ton year-1. The reduction of total sedimentation in existing land use in 2020 to the scenario land use model was 36.76 %.

Abstract

Indonesia is necessary to develop an increase in soil productivity. The decline in soil productivity for agriculture can be caused by several factors, namely land conversion to a decrease in groundwater quantity. The actual pattern of providing irrigation water with the application of dielectric sensor technology is carried out in soil cultivation to create efficiency in providing irrigation water. This research was conducted using a single factor experimental method with repeated measurements on three types of land use, such as land without vegetation, soil with tomato cultivation, and soil with grass. Measurements were carried out using an automated application of soil moisture monitoring based on dielectric technology with two measuring periods. Each measuring period consists of two weeks or fourteen days. Soil sample analysis was carried out at the Bengkulu University soil laboratory. The results of the observations were analyzed using variance (ANOVA) on the 5% F test table, the LSD test was carried out at the 5% level on data that had a significant effect. The results showed that the daily irrigation water for vegetated land was lower than for tomato cultivation and without vegetation in each measurement period. The frequency of irrigation water application in the two observation periods also showed that the land without vegetation had a higher amount and frequency of water application compared to the other two types of land use.

Abstract

Coastal land located in the lowlands near the coast has a marginal Entisol soil type. Entisols have the following characteristics: loose soil aggregate, sensitive to erosion, and low levels of nutrients, organic matter, water holding capacity, and soil fertility. The nature of this Entisol is less able to produce maximum upland rice production. The technology used to overcome this problem is by applying macro and micro fertilizers to the soil, which is planted with upland rice seeds, inoculated with biological fertilizers so that it is hoped that upland rice production can be maximized. The purpose of this study was to obtain high upland rice production in coastal areas. The research was carried out from June to December 2020 in Beringin Raya Village, Muara Bangkahulu District, Bengkulu City. The research location is located at coordinates S 03?45'23'' E 102?15'41''. The experimental design used was Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) with 2 factors, namely types of fertilizers and varieties of upland rice. The first factor consists of P0 = No fertilizer; P1 = compound micro fertilizer; P2 = Fertilizer recommended for upland rice from the Institute for Agricultural Research and Technology). The second factor consists of V1 = red upland rice; V2 = white upland rice) The results showed that there was an interaction between the type of fertilizer and upland rice varieties on soil pH (KCl 1:2.5 w/v). the interaction of microfertilizers with white upland rice varieties resulted in the highest soil pH (5.06). The best type of fertilizer is micro-compound fertilizer which produces soil pH (KCl 1:2.5 w/v), P nutrient uptake, the highest root colonization and the highest number of production tillers and the highest grain weight per plant and upland rice yield per plot. The best upland rice variety was the white variety which produced the highest uptake of P nutrients, the number of productive tillers, the weight of grain per plant and the highest yield per plot.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of humic acid on nutrient availability and upland rice production in coastal land. The research was carried out in June - November 2020 in the Beringin Raya Village, Muara Bangkahulu District, Bengkulu City. This study used a completely randomized block design with 2 factors. The first factor was the local Bengkulu upland rice variety, namely the Red upland rice variety and the White upland rice variety, while the second factor was the type of fertilizer, namely control (basic fertilizer only), humic acid, and fertilizer recommended for upland rice from BPTP (200 kg Urea ha-1, 100 kg SP36 ha-1, 100 kg KCl ha-1). The results showed that the administration of humic acid in both the White and Red varieties resulted in the best KCl pH. And if you look at the yield per plot, the upland rice of the Red variety is better when given humic acid, which has an increase of 7.4% g/plot, while the White variety has better results when given the recommended inorganic fertilizer, which is an increase of 12% g/plot. The Red variety had a higher soil pH, but had a number of pithy grains per panicle, and a lower grain content percentage than the White variety. The application of humic acid resulted in better KCl, CEC, and N-total pH, but had plant height, number of pithy grains per panicle, and yields per plot that were almost the same as recommended inorganic fertilizers.

Abstract

Cultivation problems on marginal Ultisol involved low soil organic matter content, low water holding capacity and low soil aggregate stability. These constraints determined cabbage growth because of root crop development limited and plant nutrient uptake inhibited. Application of chicken manure could overcome the marginal constraints through improving soil aggregate stability and soil moisture content on the marginal Ultisol as well as the cabbage growth increased. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the soil aggregate stability and soil moisture in Ultisol as affected by the chicken manure applied and the cabbage growth improvement. This study was conducted from December to February, 2021 at Agriculture Station, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Bengkulu lying on ±100 m above sea level. The experiment design used was Completely Random Block Design (CRBD) with the chicken manure applied involved 5 doses; 7.5 tons ha-1, 15 tons ha-1, 22,5 tons ha-1, 30 tons ha-1, and without the manure as a control treatment. From the variance analysis (ANAVA) in the level of 5%, the chicken manure applied was significantly influence the improvement of soil aggregate stability and soil moisture content as well as the cabbage growth. With Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT), the dose of 7.5 tons ha-1 gave the highest value of the soil aggregate and soil moisture improvement. Furthermore, the chicken manure application of 7.5 tons ha-1 improved significantly the cabbage stem diameter at the age of 15 days, 30 days, and 45 DAP. The 7.5 tons ha-1 manure applied also gave significantly a number of leaves at the age of 15 days and 30 DAP. The height of plant was significantly influenced when the cabbage growth 15 DAP with 15 tons ha-1. In short, the chicken manure applied with 7.5 tons ha-1 gave the soil aggregate stability, the soil moisture, and cabbage growth improvement.

Abstract

Communal land restoration programs in Ethiopia overlooked the socio-economic context and decision behavior of smallholder farmers for better planning and intervention. Thus, studies related to socio-economic aspects and decision behaviors of smallholder farmers prior to the implementation of communal degraded land restoration are scanty. This study assessed the socio-economic characteristics and decisions making of smallholder farmers in degraded communal land restoration. The kebele under study was purposively selected near the communal degraded land for future intervention. Cross-sectional data were collected from 94 smallholder farmers selected using a systematic random sampling method. Binary logit was employed to see determinants of farmers’ decision to participate in the rehabilitation of communal degraded land. The study result revealed that attitude towards village leaders and labor availability positively determines farmers’ decision, while credit to access and absence of local institutions negatively influence the willingness of farmers to participate in communal land restoration. It seems that the socio-economic base of smallholder farmers did not have a strong linkage for their decision in the land restoration effort. The findings generally suggest that there should be locally based capacity building of the community in a participatory approach for land restoration efforts.
