Abstract

Mutual interaction between plants and microbes occured in the rhizosphere is expected to increase productivity of crops or soil fertility for agriculture. Plants excrete root exudates to attract microbes, and then microbes obtain habitat and food supply from plants and can fulfill the nutrient requirements through assisted enzymatic activity.  The objective of the research was to study the types and amounts of root exudate organic acids, microbial population, and the relationship between root exudate organic acids and microbial population in the rhizosphere of oil palm seedlings. The study was conducted in a greenhouse using a planting medium of sterile quartz sand. The study was conducted using two factorials completely randomized design with three replications. The first factor was oil palm seedling age (control / no oil palm seed, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months-old of oil palm seedlings) and the second factor was the periods of seedling growth (45, 90, 135 and 180 days), so in total there were 72 experimental units. The result of High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed that four kinds of organic acids were observed in the rhizosphere of oil palm seedlings, with the highest concentration were: acetic acid (1.66 ppm), citric acid (0.157 ppm), malic acid (2.061 ppm) and oxalic acid (0.675) ppm. The highest total population of microbes, fungi, Azotobacter, phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and phosphate solubilizing fungi (PSF) were 19.38 × 106 cfu g-1 soil, 3.28 × 104 cfu g-1 soil, 12.09 × 105 cfu g-1 soil, 8.39 × 104 cfu g-1 soil and 1.15 × 104 cfu g-1 soil, respectively.

Abstract

To overcome insufficient sweet corn production in Indonesia, various strategies have been developed to improve its production. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of organic fertilizer (i.e. cow manure) and inorganic fertilizer application on nutrient uptake and yield of sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt). Inceptisol possess low soil fertility and relatively low to moderate level of organic matter content. Application of organic fertilizer in combination with inorganic fertilizers is expected to increase N, P and K uptake and yield of sweet corn. This study was conducted from October 2016 to February 2017 at the Field Experimental Station of Agriculture Faculty, Universitas Padjadjaran in Jatinangor, West Java. The study was performed in a Randomized Block Design consisting of 10 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments were as follow: A = Control, B = Standard NPK, C = 0 NPK + 1 organic fertilizer, D = ¼ NPK + 1 organic fertilizer, E = ½ NPK + 1 organic fertilizer,  F = ¾ NPK + 1 organic fertilizer, G = 1 NPK + 1 organic fertilizer, H = ¾ NPK + ¼ organic fertilizer, I = ¾ NPK + ½ organic fertilizer and J = ¾ NPK + ¾ organic fertilizer. The results showed that the treatment I (¾ NPK + ½ organic fertilizer) resulted in the highest N, P and K uptake, i.e. 54.31 mg plant-1; 82.85 mg plant-1 and 56.40 mg plant-1, respectively and the heaviest weight of sweet corn, i.e. 407.33 g.

Abstract

Source of P fertilizer which is used by farmers in upland acid soils area is generally acidulated phosphate rock (PR), such as tripel super phosphate (TSP), super phosphate 36% P2O5 (SP-36), as well as partial acidulated phosphate rock (PAPR) which contain 10-30% P2O5. Their effectiveness, however, varies and depends on the soil and plant types. Phosphate rock fertilizers have a high prospects for acid soils because its effectiveness equals to the SP-36, cheaper, slow release, and its application can also leave  the residual P in the soil that available for plants for next few seasons. Field experiment aimed to study the effectiveness of direct application of PR at upland acid soils and its effect on soil available-P as well as maize (Zea mays L.) yield was conducted in Acid Inceptisols of Ciampea, Bogor in wet season years 2008/2009. The experiment was arranged by a Randomized Completely Block Design with 3 replications. Maize of P-12 variety was used as a plant indicator. The treatment consisted of 6 levels of phosphate rock: 0, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 kg P ha-1, as well as one level of SP-36 40 kg P ha-1 as standard fertilizer. In addition, urea of 300 kg ha-1 and KCl of 100 kg ha-1 were used as basal fertilization. The result showed that the application of PR in the amount ranging from 20 to 60 kg P ha-1 increased total-P and available-P, and pH, decreased exchangeable Al in the soils as well as increased maize straw and grain. Phosphate rock  application at 40 kg P ha-1 level was equally effective as SP-36 in the tested soils. Critical level of soil P for maize grown in the soil was 675 and 5.00 mg P2O5 kg-1 extracted with HCl 25% and Bray I, respectively. The requirement of P for maize grown in the soil to achieve maximum profit was 38 kg P ha-1 and 17.5 kg P  ha-1 or equivalent to PR of 583 and 268 kg ha-1 in low (soil P < critical level) and high (soil P > critical level) soil P status,  respectively.Keywords: Direct application, phosphate rock, soil available-P, upland acid soils.[How to Cite: Nurjaya and D Nursyamsi. 2013.

Abstract

Effects of Green Manure and Clay on the Soil Characteristics, Growth and Yield of Peanut at the Coastal Sandy Soil (Muchtar and Y Soelaeman): Poor physical properties and limited amount of available nutrients were regarded as two main constraints possessed by coastal sandy soil for agricultural production.  The objective of the study was to identify the effect of green manure and clay soil applications toward soils characteristic, growth and yield of peanut (Arachis hypogeae L.) in  the coastal sand soil.  A  completely randomized design with factorial pattern 4 x 5 was applied in this experiment.  The first factors were the rate of green manure application consisted of four levels, i.e. control, 5 Mg ha-1, 10 Mg ha-1 and 15 Mg ha-1 of green manures. The second factors were the addition of five different levels of clay, i.e. control, Vertisol, Alfisol, Inceptisol and Vertisol + Alfisol + Inceptisol.  Each treatment combinations were replicated three times.  Results of the study showed that the vertisol soil affecting physical characteristics of soil.  The addition of Inceptisol soil affected chemical characteristic of soil, increased growth and yield of peanut.  Application of 15 Mg ha-1 of green manures affected toward the characteristic of soils except of the crop yields.  However, there was no significant interaction effect from both materials to all variables observed.

Abstract

Characterization of Various Kinds, Thickness and Bentonite Sand Ratio as Hardplain Materials: a Basic Concept for Coastal Sandy Land Management (Saparso, Tohari, D. Shiddieq, and B. Setiadi): Coastal sandy land development  faces  the sand characteristics, the lower holding water capacity and the larger nutrient leaching due to heavier rainfall in the tropics, soil porosity  and without soil layering so it need alternative technology  for  more efficient  harvesting water resources in  supporting  the crop growing. The  laboratory research studied the characteristic of various kind, thickness and ratio of hardplain material was carried out at Laboratory of Agronomy of UNSOED,  Soil Mechanic of GMU.  the SEM and X-RD of  Lemigas Jakarta. Permeability determination by Falling Head which is appropriate measurment  was not significantly different with ELE28-290 permeameter. Permeability of Kokap clay soil and  Nanggulan bentonite were larger than the  rainfall intensity in coastal sandy land.  The Sentolo Vertisol content 68% calcium smectite had permeability 3,7 mm.day-1.  Bentonite permeability were not significantly different due to more than 80% clay mineral composition. Therefore the permeability of natrium bentonite like as  BPIB and  BLUB namely  1.4 x 10-2 and 10-2  mm day-1 were lower than the calcium bentonite like as RMBL and BLBK  permeability namely  4.3 x 10-2  and  2.43 x 10-2 mm day-1. Permeability of 0.5 cm thickness bentonite was not  significantly different than 1.0 dan 1.5 cm thickness and those had very low permeability. Bentonite sand mixture 15 and 20 percent produced bentonite sand agregate  that  had  mesopores by which allowing the drainage and available soil water so that those had water permeability 13.7 dan  10.3 mm day-1 respectively.  The mixture 30-100%  had not significantly different permeability namely 7.3 x 10-2  up to 1.4 10-2 mm day-1. The combination of tickness and the low ratio of  bentonite sand mixutre need to be determined to produce favourable environment in supporting  the plant growth.

Abstract

The impact of agricultural intensification on soil degradation now is occurring in tropical countries. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of long-term tillage and N fertilization on soil properties and crop yields in corn-soybean rotation. This long-term study which initiated since 1987 was carried out on a Typic Fragiudult soil at Politeknik Negeri Lampung, Sumatra (105o13’45.5"-105o13’48.0"E, 05o21’19.6"-05o21’19.7"S) in 2010 and 2011. A factorial experiment was arranged in a randomized block design with four replications. The first factor was tillage system namely intensive tillage (IT) and conservation tillage (CT) which consist of minimum tillage (MT) and no-tillage (NT); while the second factor was N fertilization with rates of 0, 100 and 200 kg N ha-1 applied for corn, and 0, 25, and 50 kg N ha-1 for soybean. The results showed that  bulk density and soil strength at upper layer after 24 years of cropping were similar among treatments, but the soil strength under IT at 50-60 cm depth was 28.2% higher (p<0.05) than NT. Soil moisture and temperature under CT at 0-5 cm depth were respectively 38.1% and 4.5%  higher (p<0.05) than IT. High N rate decreased soil pH at 0-20 cm depth as much as 10%,  but increased total soil N at 0-5 cm depth as much as 19% (p<0.05).  At 0-10 cm depth, MT with no N had highest exchangeable K, while IT with medium N rate had the lowest (p<0.05). At 0-5 cm depth, MT with no N had highest exchangeable Ca, but it had the lowest (p<0.05) if combined with higher N rate. Microbial biomass C throughout   the growing season for NT was consistently highest and it was 14.4% higher (p<0.05) than IT. Compared to IT, Ap horizon of CT after 24 years of cropping was deeper, with larger soil structure and more abundance macro pores. Soybean and corn yields for long-term CT were 64.3% and 31.8% higher (p<0.05) than IT, respectively. Corn yield for long-term N with rate of 100 kg N ha-1 was 36.4% higher (p<0.05) than with no N.Keywords: Conservation tillage, crop yields, N fertilization, soil properties[How to Cite: Utomo M, IS Banuwa, H Buchari, Y Anggraini  and  Berthiria. 2013.Long-term Tillage and Nitrogen Fertilization Effects on Soil Properties and Crop Yields.

Abstract

The extraction methods using Bray P-1, Mehlich-1, and Olsen solutions are the most frequently used in equilibrium condition to estimate the available P in the soil constituents. However, each method can gives some different values that may not describe the availability of soil P. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a laboratory experiment to compare the three solutions in equilibrium and kinetics conditions for P release from soil colloids as a basic data for the future related to plant productions. The objective of this study was to compare the amounts of P release in equilibrium and kinetics conditions using Bray P-1, Mehlich-1, and Olsen solutions and the rate constants (k) of P release from soil colloids using the three solutions of five soil constituents or treatments: (1) Soil (100% soil), (2) P-rock (100% phosphate rock), (3) compost (100% chicken manure compost), (4) soil + P-rock (75% soil + 25% phosphate rock), and (5) soil + P-rock + compost (50% soil + 25% phosphate rock + 25% chicken manure compost). Each extraction for each treatment was conducted in triplicate. The results indicate that the amounts of extracted P employing equilibrium condition in all treatments are significantly lower compared to those employing kinetics condition. The results also show that Mehlich-1 solution is the most powerful solution to extract P from soil constituents followed by Bray P-1 solution and Olsen solution, except that in the soil + phosphate rock + compost treatment in which the amount of P extracted using Mehlich-1 solution is the highest then followed by that of P extracted by Olsen solution and Bray P-1 solution both in equilibrium and kinetic conditions. The highest rate constants (k) of the reaction in all treatments were found in the extractions using Mehlich-1 solution for desorbed P followed by that of using Bray P-1 solution and Olsen solution. Keywords: Compost, equilibrium, kinetics, P extraction solutions, phosphate rock, soil

Abstract

Acidic dry land in Lampung is potential for soybean development area. Low soybean yield in farmer level is one of factor causing its’ low competitiveness. Soil fertility is the main constrain related to low yield of soybean. Objective of the research was to diagnose a cause of poor soybean growth on dry land Ultisol at Sukadana sub District, East Lampung District. Soil and soybean plant samples were collected from farmers’ field at Sukadana ilir village during planting season April – July year 2010. Plant and soil samples were taken when soybean at R1 stage (starting to bloom) using stratified random sampling method. The result showed that variability of soybean growth on Ultisol at Sukadana, East Lampung related to variability of soil pH, exchangeable Al, exchangeable K, Ca, and Mg. The poor soybean growth was due to low soil pH, high exchangeable Al, low exchangeable K, Ca, and Mg.

Abstract

A study was carried out to determine the effects of rates and types of P fertilizer (SP-36 and Phosphate Rock) on the growth of physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.), leaf P content, and soil available P in an Ultisol in a glasshouse. The treatments consisted of four rates of P (0, 50, 100 and 150 mg P2O5 kg-1 soil) given in two different types of P fertilizer, namely SP-36 (total P2O5 = 36%) and Phosphate Rock (total P2O5 = 28%, particle size distribution = 75%<0.25 mm, 85%<0.50 mm, 90%<1.00 mm). Treatments were arranged in a Completely Randomized Design with three replications. The results showed that at the rates of 50 and 100 kg P2O5 ha-1, there was no difference in soil available P due to the application of SP-36 and Phosphate Rock, indicating that both types of P fertilizer had the same dissolution values after 8 months of P fertilizer application. At the rate of 50 kg P2O5 ha-1, the application of SP-36 and Phosphate Rock gave the same leaf P content. This could indicate that up to the first 8 months, the addition of the cheaper Phosphate Rock and the SP-36 to the soil had similar effectiveness. The response of tree biomass to P fertilization followed a quadratic pattern, in which for the application of Phosphate Rock, the P optimum rate was achieved at the rate which was lower than that for the application of SP-36. This suggests that the application of Phosphate Rock to physic nut trees was more efficient and effective compared to the application of SP-36.Keywords: Leaf P, phosphate Rock, physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.), soil available P, [How to Cite: Achmad AR. 2014.

Abstract

Forest conversion to some land use happened in all watershed, includes Batang Pelepat watershed. The objectives of this research are to know effect of forest conversion to land of rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) and palm oil (Elaeis guinensis Jack) farming on run off and soil erosion and different of erosion rate on agro technology of rubber and palm oil farming in Batang Pelepat watershed. The research was carried out during 3 months, begin October to December 2006. Run off and soil erosion measured plot with gutter in the lower of plot. Experimental design for this research is randomized complete block design, with land use type as treatment and slope class as replication or block. Data analyzed statistically by variance analysis (F-test) and Duncan New Multiple Range Test on confidence 95% (α = 0.05). The results of this research show that area of forest coverage in Batang Pelepat watershed was decreasing. In 1986 this area still 94,50% of watershed area, but in 1994 area of forest only 78,17% and in 2006 forest area 64,20% of watershed area. Forest conversion was carried out to land of rubber and palm oil farming with some actual agro technologies. Land of monoculture rubber I resulted the highest run off and soil erosion more than the other land use type and showed different of run off and soil erosion on land of secondary forest.
