Abstract

The research examined the effect of ela sago compost on the soil chemical properties, growth, P-uptake, and yields of corn plants (Zea mays L) in Regosol soils. A randomized block design with a 2 x 4 factorial treatment was applied. The first factor was ela sago compost (B) with three dose levels: B0 = 0-Mg ha-1, B1 = 10-Mg ha-1, and B2 = 20-Mg ha-1. The second factor was SP-36 (P) fertilizer with four dose levels: P0 = 0 kg P ha-1, P1 = 60 kg P ha-1, P2 = 120 kg P ha-1, and P3 = 180 kg P ha-1. This research shows that either ela sago compost or SP-36 fertilizer can increase the soil reaction (pH). Applying sago palm compost and SP-36 fertilizer increases soil available P from 17.33 to 60.67 ppm. Applying sago palm compost and SP-36 fertilizer increases plant P-uptake from 0.18 to 0.40 %, plant height from 135.60 to 189.67 cm, and stem diameter from 1.86 to 3.44 cm, and corn yield (dry weight of 1000 seeds) from 266.60 to 390.57 g.

Abstract

Tidal lowland productivity in type C is still low. Most of them have only been able to cultivate rice twice a year. The third cultivation of corn often fails due to a lack of water. The research objective is to determine an operational model for water management in the field for maize cultivation at several planting times. Model area is conducted at a tertiary block of reclaimed tidal lowland, Telang Jaya Village Primer 8 Delta Telang I, of  Banyuasin District. There are three planting times treatments: the fourth week of April, the second week of June, and the first week of July, 2021. A water management model was applied to control the drainage system, in which the water level in the tertiary channel is maintained at a depth of 50 cm. When groundwater drops below 70 cm, and there is no rain, pump irrigation is provided. Results of the field experiment showed that the maize crop showed similar growth quality at each phase. Land with a planting period of June and July still requires water addition using pump irrigation. It was applied on 14th and 18th August. Moreover, the maize cultivated at the end of April did not require pump irrigation. All treatments have generally similar production with an average magnitude of 8.0 Mg ha-1. The highest production is 8.73 Mg ha-1, which is planted in the first week of July.

Abstract

East Kalimantan is a region that contributes to palm oil production. Industrial development in the area still needs to be improved in some plantations because there is a limiting palm oil productivity. This study examined the chemical properties of the soil on the PT. Gemilang Sejahtera Abadi (GSA) plantation. Observations were made in four fields with the same variety but different productivity levels. Correlation analysis and simple linear regression were used to identify factors influencing productivity. The soil on the plantation land was dominated by Typic Hapludults soil type, included in the Ultisols order. The highest productivity was found in Afdeling 1, 2, and 5, while the lowest was in Afdeling 4. The pH in each afdeling was classified as acidic, and the Organic-C, N, and base saturation contents were low. The CEC in afdeling 1 and 2 was classified as medium, while in afdelings 4 and 5 was low. All correlation analyses showed a positive relationship between the variables and palm oil productivity, with low correlation coefficients for pH, organic-C, N, P, and base saturation. The correlation coefficient between CEC and palm oil productivity has a strong relationship.

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.

Abstract

The use of Bacillus bacteria as biofertilizers (BF) increases since the detrimental effects of inorganic fertilizers on the agricultural environment spread out. The objective of this research was to study the influence of bio fertilizer and in combination with inorganic fertilizer on the productivity of rice fields. The experiment was a two-factor treatment arranged in a split-plot design with three replications using a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The first factor was fertilizers, which were used as the main plot. The second factor was paddy varieties as a subplot. The results showed that the combination of inorganic and bio fertilizer application of (150 kg NPK ha-1 + 75 kg Urea ha-1 + 4 L BF ha-1) and (300 kg NPK ha-1 + 150 kg Urea ha-1 + 4 L BF ha-1), improved soil available phosphorous (P) of 12.04%, 40.69%, and 44.05%, respectively compared to control treatment, the inorganic fertilizer application (300 kg NPK ha-1 + 150 kg Urea ha-1), and the bio fertilizer application (4 L BF ha-1). In addition, the application of (300 kg NPK ha-1 + 150 kg Urea ha-1 + 4 L BF ha-1) increased productive tillers per plant as 28.13% and 16.48% compared to the control and the inorganic application, respectively. Moreover, by using Mekongga variety, applying the inorganic and bio fertilizer at rates of (300 kg NPK ha-1 + 150 kg Urea ha-1 + 4 L BF ha-1) increased rice yield of 64.08% and 30.33% compared to the control and the inorganic fertilizer application; while, by using IPB 3S variety, the rice yield increased by 85.80% and 10.34%, respectively. These findings are significant as they demonstrate the potential of biofertilizers to enhance soil fertility and rice productivity, thereby advancing sustainable farming practices.

Abstract

This research aims to assess the level of disaster vulnerability in the Wonolelo tourist village area using spatial analysis with an overlay method of several factors causing disaster vulnerability. The location of Wonolelo Village on the slopes of Mount Merapi with a rather steep to steep topography makes Wonolelo Village very vulnerable to landslides and the eruption of Mount Merapi. The research results show that Wonolelo Village has a high vulnerability to volcanic disasters (63.71%) and medium vulnerability to landslides (99.12%). The findings of this research can be used to inform disaster mitigation policies and strategies in Wonolelo Village and other vulnerable areas.

Abstract

High P adsorption reduces rice production, especially in newly reclaimed paddy fields. The research studied soil P adsorption using the adsorption isoterm equation and soil P solubility in a New Tidal Rice Field of Barito Kuala Regency. This incubation study used soil samples from Ray 7, Balandean Village, Alalak District, Barito Kuala Regency, South Kalimantan Province, from May to November 2022. The isothermal adsorption of P was measured in six soil samples with three replicates. P (0, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 50 mg P kg-1) from KH2PO4 were added in 1 g soil in 25 mL 0.01 M CaCl2. The suspensions were shaken at 25 ! for 17 hours, then centrifuged at 3000 rpm for five minutes, and the supernatant was filtered (Whatman 42) for P analysis. Three ordinary adsorption isotherm equations, Langmuir, Freundlich, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), were used to fit the data. After adding 50 mg P kg-1, the average dissolved-P was 34.60 mg kg-1 (69%), and adsorbed-P was 15.40 mg kg-1 (31%). The BET equation was more suitable for describing P adsorption isotherm in this type of soil, which has the ability to adsorb one-third of any P addition.

Abstract

The practice of intensive rice field cultivation and the excessive application of chemical fertilizer often lead to issues such as a gradual decline in soil quality and fertility, as well as enviromental pollution. By employing Tetadi as ameliorant technology and adopting SRI cultivation techniques, it is hoped that we can mitigate the negative effects on rice fields. This study was aimed to examine the effect of Tetadi on physical properties of paddy soil, growth, and rice yield on SRI method. The experiments were conducted in paddy fields in Pasar Ambacang, Kuranji, Padang city, and the experimental were application of Tetadi A=0 tons/ha, B=5 tons/ha, C= 10 tons/ha, D= 15 tons/ha, E= 20 tons/ha. The data were compared to the criteria of soil physical properties and plant data were statistically analysed for the variance. The results showed that the change has an insignificant impact on soil physical properties, yet decrease BD by 28.2%; increase SOM by 18.55%; TRP by 13.7%, moisture content 5.6%; permeability by 34.2%, and PAT by 20%. Application of 20 tons/ha Tetadi increased number of productive saplings 52.65% as well as the yield by 69.46% compared to the treatment without Tetadi application.

Abstract

Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and Geographical Information Systems are two spatial soil erosion analysis models because both have a spatial context. As an important factor, soil erodibility is crucial in determining soil erosion, with C-organic significantly influencing the K value. The main aim of this study is to characterize soil erodibility and soil loss based on spatial simulation of the effects of soil C-organic in a GIS environment. Research findings indicated that by simulating within a GIS environment, C-organic can affect soil erodibility and erosion. Low C-organic levels can increase soil erodibility, while high C-organic levels can decrease it. A reduction in C-organic by 10%, 20%, and 30% will increase K by 1.10%, 1.17%, and 1.21%, respectively. Conversely, adding 10%, 20%, and 30% C-organic will decrease K by 1.12%, 1.27%, and 1.46%, respectively. A 10%, 20%, and 30% increase in C-organic can reduce soil loss by 1.2%, 1.3%, and 1.5%, while a reduction in C-organic will increase soil loss by 1.1%, 1.2%, and 1.3%, respectively. A low K value indicates slight erosion, while a high K value suggests high erosion. Continuous C-organic and properly managing vegetation are necessary to maintain and improve soil quality.
