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.

Abstract

Bioremediation is a method for restoring land contaminated by waste, utilizing the activity of microorganisms to reduce and eliminate the toxicity levels of pollutants. A major challenge in the bioremediation of petroleum waste is the extremely low solubility of petroleum and the limited capacity of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria. This study aims to examine the potential of petrophilic bacteria and Azotobacter chroococcum in enhancing hydrocarbon degradation efficiency, the viability of petrophilic bacteria and Azotobacter spp., and soil acidity characteristics (pH) during the bioremediation process. The experiment used a factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) with two factors and three replications. The first factor was the type of petrophilic bacteria which consisted of two levels: (a0) without petrophilic bacteria, and (a1) 2% petrophilic bacterial inoculation per waste load. The second factor was the dose of Azotobacter chroococcum, consisted of four levels: (b0) without A. chroococcum, (b1) 0.5%, (b2) 1%, and (b3) 1.5% A. chroococcum. The results showed that soil pH decreased from a range of 8–9.1 to 6.6–6.7 after the bioremediation process, despite no significant differences were detected between treatments. Biodegradation efficiency increased with the application of A. chroococcum and petrophilic bacteria compared to the control, although no significant differences were found between the bacterial treatments. The application of A. chroococcum at 1% and 1.5% significantly increased Azotobacter population density. Overall, petrophilic bacteria and A. chroococcum demonstrated high effectiveness in improving biodegradation efficiency.

Abstract

Low soil fertility was a major factor limiting national black soybean productivity. Black soybean, a functional food crop rich in isoflavones, requires effective fertilization to enhance growth.Environmentally friendly alternatives such as vermicompost and biofertilizers offer sustainableoptions. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of vermicompost and biofertilizers on rootcolonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), phosphorus (P) uptake, and black soybeangrowth, and to identify the most effective treatment. The experiment was conducted from December2024 to February 2025 in a plastic house at Bale Tatanen, Faculty of Agriculture, UniversitasPadjadjaran, Jatinangor, West Java. A Randomized Group Design with 12 treatment combinations andthree replications was used. Treatments consisted of 5 and 10 tonnes ha⁻¹ of vermicompost combinedwith either AMF or nitrogen-fixing bacteria (NFB), which were appllied to the planting holes. Datawere analyzed using ANOVA and the Scott-Knott test at a 5% significance level. Observed parametersincluded AMF root colonization, P uptake, plant height, number of leaves, chlorophyll index, leaf area,and dry weights of roots and shoots. The results showed that vermicompost and biofertilizersincreased AMF colonization, P uptake, plant height, leaf number, chlorophyll index, and shoot dryweight. The application of 5 tonnes ha⁻¹ vermicompost combined with AMF was the most effectivetreatment. This study provided useful recommendations for vermicompost and biofertilizerapplication to support soil fertility improvement and black soybean growth on marginal lands.

Abstract

The inefficiency of chemical fertilizers in crop production has encouraged the development of more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives. One of the approaches is through the useof organic fertilizers enriched with beneficial microorganisms. This study aimed to evaluate the effectof N, P, K fertilizers combination with kasgot (vermicompost derived from sewage sludge) enrichedwith biofertilizers on the yield of sweet corn (Zea mays L.) grown on Inceptisols. The experiment wasconducted from February to September 2024 at the Experimental Field of the Faculty of Agriculture,Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor. A Randomized Complete Block Design was used, consisted ofeight treatments: one control (no fertilizer), one treatment with the recommended N, P, K dose, onetreatment with ¾ of the recommended dose of inorganic fertilizer, and and five treatments withvarious doses of kasgot enriched with biofertilizers and NPK fertilizers. Each treatment was replicatedthree times. The results showed that the combination of ¾ NPK dose and 1½ dose of enriched withbiofertilizers resulted in the best growth and yield performance. This treatment produced the highestear weight with husk (495.95 g), ear length (20.56 cm), and ear diameter (56.00 mm) compared toother treatments. The result suggested that the integrated application of biofertilizers and reduceddoses of chemical fertilizers can improve sweet corn yield while minimize the dependence on syntheticinputs, which promotes more sustainable and efficient agricultural practices.

Abstract

These chemical residues affect the natural balance of soil biota, leading to a decrease in soil pH, areduction in Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), and a general decline in land productivity. If not treatedpromptly, this damage could harm health and food sustainability. The application of eco-friendlyproducts in modifying soil characteristics, including high-quality zeolite, remains common today. Thisstudy aims to examine the effects of zeolite application on the dynamics of soil chemical characteristicsto promote the development of a sustainable agricultural system. This study employed a RandomizedBlock Design (RBD) containing six different treatments such as five varying recommendation dosagesof zeolite (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5) and one control treatment devoid of zeolite for comparative analysis.Each treatment was reproduced three times, yielding a total of eighteen experimental plots. Soilchemical parameters (pH and CEC) are the primary focus of this experiment. The study's resultsindicated that during the last weeks of testing, applying 1.5 to 2 doses of zeolite proved to be the mostbeneficial, as it continuously raised the pH and CEC levels. Both Pearson and Spearman tests indicatethat the correlation between variables improves from first week to week fourth week. This suggeststhat the effects of the treatment, possibly zeolite application or an alternative treatment, start afterseveral weeks. The results of this investigation indicate that incubation time in zeolite applicationimportant for exhibits effective buffering properties and functions efficiently, significantly improvingthe chemical properties in soil.

Abstract

Inceptisols hs a potential to be developed as a growth medium for tomato cultivation. The low to moderate fertility of Inceptisols can be improved by applying compost derived from various types ofagricultural waste, which can increase soil organic matter content, support the growth of nitrogenfixingrhizosphere microbes such as Azotobacter sp., enhance soil fertility, and ultimately improvetomato yield. This study aimed to analyze the effects of different types and application dosage ofagricultural waste compost on the population of Azotobacter sp., soil organic carbon, total nitrogen,and the yield of tomato plants (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) grown on Inceptisols. A greenhousepot experiment was conducted with a Randomized Complete Block Design with ten treatments andthree replication, consisted of control (no compost) and three types of compost (rice straw, sugarcanebagasse, and empty oil palm fruit bunches) applied at rates of 10, 15, and 20 tons ha⁻¹. Theexperimenal result showed that agricultural waste compost significantly increased the population ofAzotobacter sp., soil organic carbon content, and tomato yield, but had no significant effect on totalsoil nitrogen. The application of rice straw compost at a dosage of 20 tons ha⁻¹ was the most effectivetreatment to increase Azotobacter sp. population, fruit weight, and the number of tomato fruits perplant.

Abstract

A systematic process of assessing the potential and limitation of land resources for specific uses is essential to provide information for land-use planning, resource management, and policy-making. This research aims to determine the actual and potential land suitability for corn (Zea mays L.) in Cikancung District, Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Land suitability evaluation was carried out through a survey method using a physiographic approach through overlaying soil maps, topography, climate, and land use to produce land map units (SPL). Data were obtained through field observations at each SPL, and the results of analysis of soil samples were taken from each SPL. Field and laboratory data were matched with corn growth requirements through the matching table method. The study revealed that land in Cikancung District has actual land suitability classes for corn cultivation of N1n.,eh; N2eh; and S3rc.nr. Of the total 987.13 ha, 3.54 ha is classified as S3, while 983.59 ha is unsuitable due to slope limitations. With slope improvements (e.g., terraces) and nutrient retention measures (e.g., lime application), and orgnanic matter application. The potential land suitability classes improve to S2wa.rc; S3eh; and Neh. Under these improved conditions, the potential suitable land area for corn (S2 and S3) increases to 142.01 ha, representing 14.38% of the total land area.

Abstract

Phosphorus availability in soil is one of the main limiting factors in the cultivation of horticultural crops, including strawberries. Although the total phosphorus content in the soil is relatively high, most of it is in a form that is not available to plants. Phosphate solubilizing microbes (PSM) play an important role in increasing the availability of phosphorus through the mechanism of dissolving insoluble phosphate compounds into forms that can be absorbed by plants.This study investigates the effect of phosphate solubilizing biofertilizer on the growth and yield of strawberry. Biofertilizer used phosphate solubilizing bacteria (Bacillus velezensis, Burkholderia mallei) and phosphate solubilizing fungi (Pseudallescheria boydii;  Talaromyces islandicus;  Penicillium janthinellum;  Trichoderma harzianum). The experimental design is randomized block design five treatments, with seven replications. Treatments are control, bio-encapsule of P-solubilizing bacteria, bioencapsule of P-solubilizing fungi, phosphate solubilizing bacteria in carrier base on peat, and phosphate solubilizing fungi in carrier base on peat. The results of the experiment showed that the application of phosphate solubilizing fungi with compost and peat carriers significantly improved vegetative growth parameters, including plant height, leaf number, and crown diameter. Although no significant differences were observed in fruit yield, PSB in microcapsule form showed promising results in enhancing fruit weight and size.
