Abstract

Effect of NaCl-Stress on  Metabolism of NO3-, NH4+  and NO2- at Several Rice Varieties (MZH Utama):  This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of NaCl-stress on metabolism of  NO3-, NH4+  and NO2-  at several rice varieties.  The results showed that an addition of  NaCl had lesser effect on NaCl-tolerant varieties as compared to NaCl-sensitive in term of reduction in NO3-, NH4+,  and NO2- uptake. Rice adaptation ability to NaCl stress occurred through the mechanism of NO3-, NH4+, and N02- metabolism physiology. It was  indicated by the difference concentration of NO3-, NH4+ and N02- between the tolerant (Cisadane), moderate (Batang Lembang, Rendah Kuning, and Batang Piaman) and sensitive (IR 66) varieties. Concentration of NH4+ and N02-  of tolerant rice (Cisadane) at NaCl treatment were about 1.16 and 2.6 times higher than that at control, respectively, while concentration of NO3- was only 0.03 times lower than control.  In contrast, concentration of NO3-, NH4+, and N02- of sensitive rice (IR 66), were about 0.09, 0.27, and 0.41 times lower than that in control respecting at NaCl treatment, respectively.

Abstract

The Role of Peat Layers on Iron Dynamics in Peatlands (A Fahmi, B Radjagukguk, BH Purwanto and E Hanudin): The research aimed to study the effect of peat thickness and humification stage of the peat material on Fe solubility at the peatlands with sulfidic material as substratum.  The research was conducted at three conditionals of ombrogen peatlands ie ; deep, moderate and shallow peat. Soil samples were collected by using peat borer according to interlayer (the border layer of peat and mineral layer) and conditional of soil horizons.  The sample point depth were (cm) G.s2 : 25, G.s1 : 50, Int.s : 70,  M.s1 : 90 and M.s2 : 100 for shallow peat, G.m2 : 47, G.m1 : 100, Int.m : 120 and M.m1 : 135 for moderate peat and G.d3 : 50, G.d2 : 150, G.d1 : 200, Int.d : 220  and M.d1 : 235 for deep peat respectively.  The results showed that most of Fe on the tested soils was found in organic forms. The peat layers above the sulfidic material decreased the Fe2+ solubility at peatlands. Fe2+ concentration in peat layer decreased with its increasing distance from sulfidic material. There was any other processes beside complexation and chelation of  Fe2+  by humic material and its processes was reduction of Fe3+ and this conditions was reflected in redox potential values (Eh).

Abstract

Identification of nutrient deficiencies at calcareous soils for maize (D Nursyamsi): A pot experiment was conducted to identify nutrient deficiencies at calcareous soils for maize (Zea mays, L.) in green house of Indonesian Soil Research Institute using top soil (0-20 cm) samples taken from Bogor (Typic Hapludalfs) and Blora (Typic Haplustalfs). The experiment used Randomized Completely Block Design, minus one test with 12 treatments and three replications, as well as maize of P21 variety as plant indicator. The results showed that use of N, P, K, Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mn fertilizers increased soil macro nutrients, i.e.: soil total-N, Olsen-P, HCl-P, and HCl-K, as well as soil micro nutrients, i.e.: soil DTPA-Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mn at both tested soils. Use of maize straw compost increased soil organic-C, total-N, HCl-K, and exchangeable Ca at Typic Hapludalfs and increased only soil organic-C and total-N at Typic Haplustalfs. Use of animal manure compost increased soil organic-C, exchangeable Ca and Mg, and CEC. Use of N, P, K, S, Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mn fertilizers increased each plant nutrients uptake at the soils. Use of both organic matters increased plant N, P, K, and Fe uptake at Typic Hapludalfs as well as increased only plant N, P, and K uptake at Typic Haplustalfs. Identification result showed that maize growth suffered from N, P, and K deficiencies at Typic Hapludalfs as well as N and P deficiencies at Typic Haplustalfs. Beside the nutrients, soil organic matter was also found out as limiting factor for maize growth in the soils.

Abstract

Increasing of “Keprok” Citrus Production in the Andisols of Karo by a Local Compound Fertilizers (E Tuherkih and Sukristiyonubowo): The improvement of “keprok” citrus production in term of quantity and quality depends on soil properties and fertilization.  Many factors affected efectiveness and efficiency of fertilizers i.e. soil, climate, plant species, growth period of plant, plant productivity, and type and rate of fertilizers. Study on the effect of SUMUT-1 and SUMUT-2 compound fertilizers on keprok citrus production was carried out in Sukadame Village, Tanah Karo District from January to December 2008. The purpose of the research were to evaluate the effectiveness of new compound fertilizer SUMUT-1 and SUMUT-2 on leaf nutrient content, quality and quantity production of “keprok” citrus as well as to determine the optimum rate of SUMUT-1 dan SUMUT-2. Ten treatments were tested and arranged into a randomized completely block design with three replications. The fertilizer application rates of SUMUT 1 and SUMUT 2 were 400, 550, 700, dan 850 kg-1ha-1year-1, meanwhile dosages of fertilizer recomended application of NPK originated from single fertiliser namely urea, SP-36, and KCl and farmer practice were used as control.  The results indicated that application of SUMUT-1 and SUMUT-2 were more effective than fertilizers coming from single NPK fertilizer with RAE value >100%. Furthermore, SUMUT-1 was better than SUMUT-2 in improving N, P, K contents in citrus leaf. The optimum application rate of SUMUT-1 was 700 kg-1ha-1year-1 reaching the citrus production of 36,29 Mg-1  ha-1  year-1 with fruit grade of about  51% AB and 49% CD. These matched with the SPO (Standard Procedure Operation) for citrus of about 20 Mg-1 ha-1 year-1.

Abstract

Changes of Soil Properties on Various Ages of Rubber Trees in Dhamasraya, West Sumatra, Indonesia (S Yasin, Adrinal, Junaidi, E Wahyudi, S Herlena and Darmawan): Although rubber has been planted in Indonesia from Holland era, but there is little information about the effect of rubber plantation on the rate of land degradation in Indonesia.  In order to examine the effect of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliansis) ages on land degradation status, a series experiment was done in Dhamasraya district as the main contributor of natural rubber in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Study site divide  into forest (A), crab grass (B), and rubber plantation with ages ranged from 1 (C), 5 (D), 10 (E), 15 (F) and 20 (G) years were selected as study sites and soil samples had been taken from each site, where forest soil  was used as a control. The result proved that the age of rubber tree has strongly affected physical and chemical properties of soil. Organic carbon and total nitrogen content decreased from 3.02%, 2.66%, 1.96%, in site A, B and C, and then increased to 2.33% and 2.49% in site D and E, respectively. This result was opposed with bulk density (BD) value of each site. The highest BD found in site C (1.26 g cm-3), followed by site D, E, B and A with 1.24, 1.14, 1.12 and 0.88 g cm-3, respectively. The similar pattern was also found for selected chemical properties of soil. Soil pH, available phosphorous, exchangeable base cations, cation exchange capacity and base saturation was likely to decrease from 1 to 10 years old plantation and then increased close the natural condition (reflected by forest soil) at 20 years old rubber tree. Since most of plantation was conversed from natural forest, this phenomenon might be because of contribution of organic matter from original condition and addition of fertilizer at the beginning of plantation establishment.

Abstract

Site Specific Nitrogen Management Simulated by CropSyst Model under Different Inputs of Nitrogen Fertilizer (Y Wijayanto): Site Specific Nutrient Management (SSNM) has been suggested as the only means for increasing productivity of crops and minimizing the environmental impacts. Despite of this, it is also widely recognized that compared to uniform application, SSNM provides a significant challenges related to the level of management. This is due to the fact that SSNM relates to the management of field / site (or fields / sites) and considers also the spatial and temporal component of factors leading to crop production. A method is urgently required and the most appropriate one is crop model. This study was aimed at using  CropSyst to model yields due to the difference in N applications  and its implementation for SSNM. The study area was located at Jenggawah Village, Sub-District Jenggawah, Jember Regency. Thirty soil samples were taken and six farmer’s fields were chosen for the purpose of modeling. Interview was conducted to obtain the information about the management of farmer’s fields. Yields in each farmer’s fields were used as an integrated indicator. The results suggested that the predicted yields at farmer’s fields were in agreement with those in reality. Simulated yields  based on  different amount of N inputs showed yields were proportional with different N inputs. This study concluded that there do exist a significant amount of potential applications of CropSyst for Site Specific Nitrogen Management

Abstract

The Properties of Humic Acids Extracted from Four Sources of Organic Matters and Their Ability to Bind Fe2+ at New Established Rice Field (Herviyanti, TB Prasetyo, F Ahmad and Darmawan):  In order to identify the properties of humic acid extracted from four kinds of organic matters (a peat soil, a stable manure, a compost of rice straw and a municipal waste)  and their potentiality to bind Fe2+  at new established rice field, a series of experiment was done in Soil Laboratory Faculty of Agriculture, Andalas University Padang. First step was characterization of functional groups and other chemical properties of humic acids, and their reaction with Fe2+. The second step was to examine the ability of humic acids to bind Fe2+ solution at new established rice field by conducting incubation experiments.  The experiment used  a completely randomized design with three replications.  The 450 ppm Fe solution was treated with 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, and 450 ppm humic acids and incubated for 24 hours.  While top soil samples taken from Sitiung, West Sumatera were treated with 0,100, 200, 300, and 400 ppm humic acids, flooded with deionized water, and incubated for 6 weeks.  The result showed that   the functional group and other chemical characteristic of humic acid from rice straw compost and peat soil were better than those of manure and municipal waste compost. Functional group of both humic acids was dominated by COO-. High reactivity of the humic acid had been found when humic acids were added to Fe solution with ratio 1 : 1. Use of humic acid extracted from peat soil with the levels from 0 to 100, 200, 300, and 400 ppm decreased the Fe2+ concentration from 1.361 ppm to  910, 860, 831, and 776 ppm, respectively at new established rice field.  While the use of humic acid extracted from  rice straw compost with the same levels as above decreased the Fe2+ concentration  from 1361 to 770, 701, 612, and 600 ppm, respectively, after four weeks of flooding.

Abstract

Soil Organic Carbon Losses: The Balance between Respiration and Leaching, and Phosphorus Mobility in Lateritic Soils (FH Noor): Organic matter (OM) application may contribute to managing lateritic soils by improving aspects of physical, chemical, and biological fertility.  However, the finite persistence of organic carbon (OC), the main component of soil organic matter (SOM), may limit the usefulness of OM addition because decomposition and C leaching promotes C loss from the soil, especially in tropical regions.  The main objectives of this study were to determine the balance and dynamics of soil OC (SOC) due to mineralisation and leaching processes and the relationship of these processes to P mobility in soil.  Two lateritic soils of Western Australia were used.  Both soils were packed into plastic columns and water was added to simulate two rainfall regimes: tropical (4,000 mm year 1) and subtropical (900 mm year 1).  Three types of OM (peat, wheat straw, and lucerne hay) were added at the equivalent of 80Mg ha 1.  Soils were watered weekly to supply one year’s rainfall over a period of six months.  Carbon loss from leaching contributed 1.4% of the total C, whilst respiration accounted for 10.4%.  The Ultisol with a sandy texture had more C loss in leachate than the Oxisol with higher clay content, for the simulated tropical rainfall.  The subtropical rainfall regime resulted in more respiration than the tropical rainfall regime.  Downward movement of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) changed the distribution of non-extractable phosphorus (NP) and bicarbonate phosphorus (BP) in the leaching column, as well as the dislocation of extractable Al and Fe.

Abstract

The Effects of Various Water Table Depths on CO2 Emission at Oil Palm Plantation on West Aceh Peat (EP  Handayani, M van Noordwijk, K Idris,  S Sabiham and S Djuniwati):  Changes in the depth of water table influenced carbon cycling in peatlands, and affected the sources and sinks of carbon dioxide.  The effects of depth of water tables in oil palm plantations on the emission of CO2 were studied. CO2 emissions of peatland were measured in Meulaboh, West Aceh using cylindrical chambers and  air samples from the chambers were analyzed by gas chromatography. Five-point transects perpendicular to drainage canals provided variation in the depth of water tables for the samples. Data from oil palm fields were compared to data from an adjacent swamp forest. The data confirmed that  the increasing depth of water table was accompanied by the increasing in microbial activity that was measured by CO2 emission.  The CO2 emissions from chambers with additional root zones were higher than from bulk soil chambers between one to four times.

Abstract

Model Simulation of “Sawah-Kolam” System for Rainwater Harvesting to Support Rainfed Paddy Production (S Triyono, Zeovany, Oktafri, and B Rosadi): The study was used to evaluate whether rainwater could be harvested and used to meet water demand of rainfed paddy.  As generally known, yield of rainfed paddy was low compared to that of irrigated paddy.  The study was performed by simulating a model of “Sawah-Kolam” system.  Daily 10 year climatological data from Metro City of Lampung Province was used in the study.  The program was written in Professional VisSim 4.0.  Three scenarios of alternative planting schedules (January, February, and March) were tested.  Results implied that without a collection system, rainwater might not be sufficient to grow rainfed paddy.  It was demonstrated that “Sawah-Kolam” system was capable of sufficing water requirement of rainfed paddy.  Huge rainwater of more than 90% could be saved, thus reducing a lot of runoff volume.  In term of pond size, February appeared to be the most optimum growing season of all other months for Metro City, in that the pond area (1,400 m2) required was the smallest.
