Abstract

Choosing the right method to quantify soil particles (sand, silt, clay) is essential to predict and managesoil characteristics in relation to e.g. nutrient or water retention. However, separating silt and clayparticles for volcanic soils is difficult. In this study, we investigated the effect of three different soilparticle analysis methods, namely the regular pipette method, Na-resin dispersion, andultrasonication with high energy level (1500 J ml-1) on the distribution of soil particle size in tropical volcanic soils. Ultrasonication with high energy level was founded to be the best method to fullyseparate silt and clay fraction compared to Na-resin and regular pipette method. In conversion, thedispersion of soil particles using regular pipette method was suboptimal. In the ultrasonicationmethod, a step that is important to achieve full dispersion is pH buffer > 8 in soil suspension. Thisultrasonication method was founded to have good correlation with Na-resin dispersion method (R =0.88). This study suggested that conventional particle size analysis may not fully separate sand, silt,and clay particles correctly in soils rich in amorphous materials and oxides, and we proposedultrasonication high energy level with pH buffer > 8 method as an alternative method.

Abstract

The increase in corn plant growth is greatly influenced by cultivation techniques includingfertilization. However, the use of inorganic fertilizers for a long period of time can reduce soil quality.An alternative environmentally friendly technology that can substitute for the use of inorganicfertilizers is the biological fertilizer of nitrogen-fixing endotypic bacteria. These endophytic bacteriahave benefits as growth stimulants for plants in increasing nitrogen supply through N2 fixationthrough the air. This study aims to increase the growth of corn plants through the application methodand type of nitrogen-fixing endophytic bacteria. This study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD).The treatment of types and application methods consisted of treatments without endophytic bacterialisolates, endophytic bacterial isolates Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus Corrig, G. diazotrophicusstrain 4L, and Burkholderia gladioli with three application methods, namely seed treatment, soiltreatment, and their combinations. The results of the study showed that G. diazotrophicus 4L bacteriaapplied by seed and soil treatment gave the best effect on the growth of corn plants on the parametersof the endophytic bacterial population in leaf tissue, wet weight and dry weight of corn by 1 and 3times compared to the control and there was also a tendency to increase the dry and wet weight of thecorn plant crown.
