Abstract

Soil properties play essential roles in transmitting and holding precipitation water; therefore, they determine the amount of plant-available water in the soil profile. The study aimed to compare the size distributions of Andept soil pores following four-year applications of vermicompost and liquid organic fertilizer (LOF). The experiment was done from 2016 to 2019. The five doses of vermicompost (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 Mg ha-1) set as the main factor, supplemented with 0 and 100 percent concentrations of LOF as a sub-factor, were arranged in a split-plot design with three replicates. Results showed that adding LOF decreased slow-drainage pores significantly when combined with 10 Mg ha-1 of vermicompost. However, the pore changes by LOF were not significant when applied to other doses of vermicompost. Applying vermicompost and LOF lowered the slow-drainage pores by increasing soil organic carbon and reducing soil particle density. The findings suggest that vermicompost and LOF act as soil ameliorants to reduce water loss by drainage from soil profiles. The study highlights the importance of soil properties in determining plant-available water in the soil profile.

Abstract

This research aimed to examine the increase in growth and yield of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr) genotypes in the application of Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizae (VAM) and tricho-compost in dryland. This research was conducted in the form of an experiment using a Split plot design was composed: all treatments were given NPK fertilizer at a dose of 50% of the recommended dose and 5 g of mycorrhizae (Glomus sp. + Gigaspora sp. + Acaulospora sp.). The main plot (MP) had six genotypes (G). The sub-plot (SP) was mycorrhizae +tricho-compost (T): mycorrhizae +without tricho-compost (t0), mycorrhizae +tricho-compost 50 g plant-1 (t1 ), and mycorrhizae +2tricho-compost 100 g plant-1 (t2 ). The results showed that soybean genotypes gM50Gy, gO50Gy, and gT50Gy have the stability of agronomic characteristics on the shoot dry weight, root dry weight, and soybean dry weight in the adaptation test in dryland. The treatment of tricho-compost 100 g ton-1 had the highest increased shoot dry weight, root dry weight, percentage of mycorrhizal infection, and Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) uptake. The interaction of gT50Gyt2 ; gO50Gyt2  and gTt2  resulted in higher root dry weight and N, P, and K uptake than gM50Gyt2; gMt2; gOt2.

Abstract

The rice productivity in Panai Tengah was still relatively low, producing 4.75 Mg ha-1, compared to the national production of 5 to 6 Mg ha-1. Low rice productivity was caused by limiting factors in land use, namely, physical and biological factors, soil chemistry, and agricultural systems. Providing organic fertilizer or municipal waste compost is one way to overcome the constraints on the soil’s physical, biological, and chemical characteristics. This study aims to determine the response to the growth and yield of rainfed rice fields in Kecamatan Panai Tengah with a dose of Municipal Solid Waste Compost (MSWC). This research was conducted by taking soil samples in the rainfed rice fields and then analyzing them in the experimental field at the Faculty of Science and Technology, Labuhanbatu University. The analysis stage was for six months, from seeding to harvesting. The methodology for this study was a non-factorial randomized block design consisting of 7 treatments. The result showed that applying MSWC at a dose of 18 Mg ha-1 showed high yields. The recommendation to farmers was to give 18 Mg ha-1 of MSWC to increase the yields of their rice fields.

Abstract

One of the Indonesian provinces where the agricultural industry drives the economy is Punung, Pacitan, which has local conditions that are particularly suitable for producing citrus, giving this product the potential to continue to expand in popularity. Land evaluation tries to provide information on its potential for a particular purpose. This research was conducted to know land suitability classes, limiting factors, and improvement efforts that can be made. This research is exploratory descriptive with a variable approach through field survey and using a purposive random sampling method based on Land Mapping Units. Data analysis was carried out using the matching method between land characteristics and conditions for growing citrus, a statistical test by ANOVA (Analysis of Variance), and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) to find the factors that most determine land characteristics in Punung. The study results show that the actual land suitability class in Punung is marginally suitable. Improvements that can be made to increase the availability of nutrients in the soil in the form of available P2O5 with a low level of management is to apply P fertilization according to the needs of citrus. ANOVA results proved that the variety of soil types significantly influences some of the land characteristics.

Abstract

The productivity of upland rice on sub-optimal land such as Ultisol is low. Increasing rice productivity can be attempted, for example, by applying rice husk zeolite and K fertilizer. This research aims to study the interaction of rice husk zeolite with K fertilizer on the growth and yield of upland rice on Ultisol. The research was conducted at the Soil and Greenhouse Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Riau, from June to October 2022. The research was conducted experimentally in a factorial with a completely randomized design (CRD). The first factor was rice husk zeolite consisting of 3 levels (0, 200, and 400 kg ha-1), and the second factor was K fertilizer consisting of 3 levels (0, 50, and 100 kg K2O ha-1), each interaction repeated three times. The results showed that the combination value of rice husk zeolite at a dose of 200 kg ha-1 with K fertilizer at a dose of 50 kg K2O ha-1 increased the number of healthy grains per panicle by 21%, the proportion of healthy grain by 14% and the weight of dry milled grain by 32.25% compared to without rice husk zeolite and K fertilizer.

Abstract

Depleting soil nutrients is among the significant factors affecting production and productivity in Ethiopia. From the nutrients, nitrogen is the most yield-limiting, which governs wheat production. Therefore, the study was conducted to examine the effect of nitrogen on the yield and yield components of bread wheat varieties. The experiment was implemented in the 2019 and 2020 cropping seasons at Sekota and Lasta districts on the farmers’ field. The treatments consisted of a factorial combination of four levels of nitrogen (0, 46, 69, and 92 kg ha-1) and two varieties of wheat (Sekota-1 and Hibst), which were replicated three times in a randomized complete block design. Each treatment was provided with 23 kg ha-1 triple supper phosphate (P2O5). The study’s results indicated that grain and yield-related traits were significantly affected by nitrogen application. The increasing rate of nitrogen up to 92 and 69 kg ha-1 increases wheat grain and biomass yield by (150.3% and 54.1%) and (95.9 and 60%) in Sekota and Lasta districts, respectively. The highest grain yield (2562 and 2980 kg ha-1) was obtained from applying 92 and 69 kg ha-1 N at Sekota and Lasta, respectively. Therefore, applying 92 and 69 kg ha-1 N is the appropriate rate and recommended for the Sekota and Lasta districts, respectively.
