Tailings, the waste residue from gold mining processes, typically contain hazardous heavy metals that have the potential to contaminate the environment, particularly soil. This study aims to evaluate the changes in the chemical properties of gold mine tailings following nanobubble flotation treatment as an initial step toward sustainable remediation. Tailings samples were collected in a composite from two mining sites using different processing methods: cyanidation (GMBU Antam Pongkor, Bogor) and amalgamation (ASGM Kertajaya, Sukabumi). Nanobubble flotation was applied using combinations of reagents consisting of collectors (EDTA or NaOH), a frother (MIBC), and depressants (Na₂SiO₃ or Na₂CO₃). Parameters analyzed included pH (H₂O, KCl, H₂O₂), Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), and exchangeable base cations (Ca, Mg, K, Na), measured using standard soil chemical methods. Comparative analysis was performed to assess changes in tailings chemistry before and after treatment. Results showed that nanobubble flotation slightly increased the pH of both tailings, indicating the neutralization of residual acidity. Varied CEC values depending on reagent composition, reflecting differences in the interaction between reagents and clay mineral surfaces. Base saturation in both sites remained low, suggesting that additional amelioration, such as gypsum or organic matter, is still required to improve cation balance. Nanobubble technology affected the tolerated tailings’ chemical properties for soil and plants and demonstrated potential as a preliminary step toward the reclamation and reutilization of gold mine tailings for future land use.

Stable soil aggregates improve soil structure and create a suitable medium for plant growth. Meanwhile. unstable aggregates break down easily under rainfall and accelerate erosion. This study aims to determine soil aggregate stability and the factors that control it under different land uses. The research used a survey approach. A land system map was produced by overlaying land use, slope, and soil type, resulting in 40 land system units. Sampling points were selected purposively based on land system units, accessibility, and land area. A total of 21 samples were collected. Aggregate stability was measured using wet and dry sieving. Observed parameters included field soil structure, texture, organic carbon, equivalent lime, specific gravity, bulk density, and clay content. Pearson correlation was used to identify the relationship between each parameter and aggregate stability. The results showed that aggregate stability ranged from 29.51-61.67 (unstable-slightly stable) in forest land, 52.02-84.90 (slightly stable-very stable) in mixed gardens, 34.22-64.25 (unstable-slightly stable) in rainfed rice fields, and 22.67-60.29 (unstable-slightly stable) in drylands. Soil organic matter and the dispersion ratio (DR) were the main factors influencing aggregate stability in Muntuk Village. Improving stability requires soil and water conservation practices that protect aggregates from breakdown by water or external disturbance. Agricultural land generally had lower stability, so proper management is needed. Recommended practices include returning crop residues, applying organic amendments, adopting minimum tillage, and implementing suitable cropping patterns.

Sugarcane is one of the most widely cultivated plantation crops in Indonesia, but production has declined, particularly in Kapanewon Sedayu, Bantul, due to a suspected nitrogen deficiency. Nitrogen is required for the formation of buds, leaves, and stems. GNDVI is a vegetation index that is more sensitive to chlorophyll content. This study aims to determine the correlation between GNDVI and the nitrogen content of sugarcane tissue based on drone imagery, to develop an estimation model, and to produce an N-content map. The research was conducted at the Gunung Ombo Plantation, Argomulyo, Sedayu, Bantul, Yogyakarta, using a quantitative descriptive method. Forty-five sample points were established (30 for prediction and 15 for reference). Leaf samples were collected from the third leaf sheath of 5-month-old sugarcane and analyzed for nitrogen content using the Kjeldahl method. The relationship between GNDVI and tissue nitrogen was examined using Pearson’s correlation, linear regression, and paired t-tests. Results showed a strong correlation (r = 0.896) with a coefficient of determination (R² = 0.7891) and the regression equation y = 4.7507x + 0.6012. The paired t-test indicated no significant difference between predicted and reference nitrogen values. The resulting estimation map can support nitrogen fertilization management in sugarcane cultivation in the study area.

Liquefaction is a secondary impact of earthquakes that can cause severe land degradation, including damage to agricultural areas. Bantul Regency experienced liquefaction during the 2006 earthquake, making it prone to further liquefaction, especially in the Jetis subdistrict. This study investigates the physical characteristics of soils prone to liquefaction and examines the correlation between the soil maturity index and liquefaction potential. Sampling points were determined using purposive sampling. The liquefaction potential index value was calculated using qualitative geological techniques at depths of 0–300 cm, yielding values of 28.40 and 18.01 for perennial tree and seasonal crop areas, respectively. Soil samples were collected, and laboratory analyses, including soil particle size, texture, organic matter, maximum moisture content, electrical conductivity (EC), permeability, redox potential (Eh), and plasticity index, were conducted. The results show key characteristics supporting liquefaction potential, including a dominant sand fraction (79.15%), maximum moisture content (88.94%), moderately fast permeability, high EC (0.416 mS/cm), and Eh values indicating aerobic tendency. All soil samples were categorized as physically immature based on the soil maturity index, reflecting weak interparticle bonding and high dispersion when saturated. Regression analysis between the soil maturity index and median grain size (D50) revealed insignificant correlations, with R = -0.56 (R2 = 0.3161) and 0.38 (R2 = 0.145) for perennial and seasonal crop areas, respectively. Visually, quadratic regression yielded R² values of 0.4109 and 0.4226, suggesting a potential nonlinear pattern. These findings indicate that soil maturity index influences liquefaction propensity. Further research is necessary to understand other controlling variables.

Leachate from the Jetis landfill in Purworejo Regency poses a risk of environmental pollution, but it also contains plant nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, and organic matter. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how different Jetis landfill leachate concentrations affect the chemical characteristics of Latosol and assess how leachate application affects the spinach growth. A non-factorial totally randomized design was employed in this investigation with 6 treatments and 3 replicates. The treatments consisted of applying leachate at several concentrations, specifically 0% (L0), 20% (L1), 40% (L2), 60% (L3), 80% (L4), and 100% (L5). The soil was incubated with leachate for 30 days and then planted with spinach until the maximum vegetative phase. Data analysis was performed using 5% ANOVA followed by 5% DMRT test. The findings demonstrated that the application of leachate significantly raised the pH, CEC, plant height, number of leaves, wet weight, and dry weight of spinach plants. However, it had no discernible on organic-C, total-N, available-P, and available-K. The application of 20% leachate (L1) produced the highest values for plant height, number of leaves, wet weight, and dry weight of plants, which were significantly different from the control (L0). This Jetis landfill leachate is not yet effective as a fertilizer substitute, but it has the potential to be used as a soil conditioner.

This study characterized solid organic waste and leachate at the Piyungan Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) facility to evaluate their potential use as organic fertilizer and soil conditioners. Solid waste samples were collected from three age categories (0-6 months, 7-18 months, and 2-3 years), and leachate was collected from the inlets and outlets of both the old and transition Leachate Treatment Installations (LTIs). The analyzed parameters included pH, organic C, C/N ratio, macro- and micro-nutrients, and heavy metals. The 7-18-month waste category showed the most promising quality, with neutral pH (7.17), 19.26% organic C, and 2.46% total nutrients, although its C/N ratio (46.62) and Pb concentration (99.83 ppm) exceeded standard limits. Waste aged 2-3 years exhibited greater stability (C/N 20.36; pH 7.09) but contained very low organic C (3.21%), while the 0-6-month material had an excessively high C/N ratio (301.90). Leachate samples showed slightly alkaline pH (7.68-8.34) and organic C levels of 9.98-29.93%, with Pb and Cd remaining below safety thresholds, although micronutrient concentrations were substantially below the standard range for liquid soil conditioners. Overall, solid waste aged ≥7 months demonstrates potential for use as fertilizer or soil conditioner following Pb reduction and C/N adjustment, whereas leachate exhibits limited applicability as an alternative soil conditioner. Further process optimization is required to ensure safe and compliant utilization.

The erosion process can lead to a decline in productivity and the soil's carrying capacity for agricultural production, as well as environmental quality. During the 2025 rainy season, Rengel became a hot topic on social media due to the flash floods that consistently occurred after heavy rains. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how different land uses contribute to erosion incidents in the Rengel subdistrict, Tuban Regency. Four land use categories were noted: rice fields, maize-chili, teak-maize agroforestry, and forests. Survey and laboratory analysis techniques were employed in this investigation. According to the calculations, the most severe erosion occurs in dryland areas. The degree of erosion risk is greatly influenced by land usage. Erosion in Rengel Village is considerably accelerated by the crop and soil conservation factors. The highest rates of erosion are found in dryland farming of 0.728 tons/ha/year. This situation is linked to a high C value, which indicates little plant cover and direct rainfall exposure of the soil's surface.

Sweet corn (Zea mays L. saccharata) productivity on peat soils is often constrained by high acidity, low fertility, and limited nutrient availability. Organic-based soil amendments such as rice husk ash and cattle manure may improve soil chemical properties and support crop growth on peatlands. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of rice husk ash and cattle manure on the growth and yield of sweet corn cultivated on peat soil. The field experiment was conducted from December 2022 to February 2023 at Bandar Agung Village, Lalan District, Musi Banyuasin Regency, while laboratory analyses and data processing were completed from June 2022 to May 2023. The study used a factorial randomized block design with two factors and three replications. Rice husk ash was applied at rates of 0, 30, and 60 t ha⁻¹, while cattle manure was applied at 0, 42, and 84 t ha⁻¹. The results showed that treatment A2S1 (60 t ha⁻¹ rice husk ash and 42 t ha⁻¹ cattle manure) tended to produce higher values for several yield parameters, particularly cob length, cob weight, and cob diameter. The treatments significantly affected cob diameter, number of leaves, cob length, and cob weight with husk and without husk, whereas plant height, plant wet weight, and plant dry weight were not significantly affected. The application of rice husk ash, cattle manure, and dolomite also increased soil pH under acidic peat soil conditions. These findings indicate that appropriate combinations of organic amendments may improve sweet corn productivity and support sustainable peatland agriculture.

Pacarejo, a village in Kapanewon Semanu, is located a karst area. Karst conditions cause the ability of land for agriculture to be very limited. However, this is an opportunity to develop dry land into productive agricultural land by planting potential crops that are suitable for land conditions and having a good economic value. The purpose of the study was to determine the level of land suitability in Pacarejo Village for upland red rice. This study used a survey method. Land system maps were produced from overlays of land use maps, land type maps, and slope maps so that 37 land systems were obtained. The determination of sampling points used the purposive sampling method based on the selected land system, namely 11 sample points by excluding settlements and land with steep slopes. The data analysis method used matching between land characteristics and suitability criteria for crops according to the Technical Guidelines for Evaluating Suitability for Agricultural Commodities. The results showed that the suitability class for upland red rice was S3 (Marginal Suitable) covering an area of 1.636,63 ha (57,87%) with limiting factors of oxygen availability (oa), root conditions (rc), and nutrient retention (nr). Land suitability in several land systems can potentially be improved to S2 class by improving the limiting factors of rapid soil drainage and low soil base saturation.Keywords: upland red rice, karst, soil mapping unit, land suitability, Pacarejo

Methane emissions from the agricultural sector represent a critical challenge for global climate change mitigation. This study aims to map the patterns, trends, and development of research on methane emission reduction in the agricultural sector through the implementation of Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) using a bibliometric approach. Scientific publication data were collected from Scopus and analyzed following the PRISMA method, resulting in 325 relevant articles for analysis using VOSviewer. The results reveal a significant increase in publications, particularly after 2021, and identify five main thematic clusters ranging from biophysical responses to environmental quality. Temporal analysis indicates a shift in research focus from biophysical approaches toward the integration of climate mitigation, resource-use efficiency, and sustainable agricultural systems. This study concludes that AWD is an effective mitigation strategy with strong potential to reduce methane emissions without compromising rice productivity. Ultimately, these findings underscore the necessity of integrating AWD into future sustainable agricultural policies and climate mitigation actions to advance low-carbon food production globally. Keywords: Alternate wetting and drying, bibliometric analysis, low-carbon agriculture, methane emission reduction, sustainable agriculture
