Abstract

Entisols are sandy soils with P and K in form still fresh and cannot be absorbed by plants, thereby affecting plant growth and production. Therefore, it is necessary to add rice husk biochar and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to help provide nutrients to support the growth of sweet corn plants. The research was carried out from August to October 2020 in Beringin Raya Village, Bengkulu City with coordinates S03°45,434' E102°15,687'. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors. The first factor was the dose of rice husk biochar: 0, 5, and 10 tons ha-1 ; and the second factor was the AMF dose of 0, 5, and 10 g of propagule. The total 27 units was obtained from nine treatment combinations that was repeated three times. Each experimental unit consisted of 2 sample plants so that there were 54 polybags. Soil parameters observations were soil pH, CEC, organic C, nutrient levels of N, P, K and P uptake. Phosphor uptake was calculated based on the total dry weight of plants x nutrient content of P. The variables observed in plants were plant height, root length, plant dry weight (roots and stems), ear length, cob diameter, cob weight. The result was no interaction between rice husk biochar and AMF on growth, P uptake, and yield of sweet corn. Application 10 tons ha-1 of rice husk biochar of biochar and inoculation of 10 g of plant propagule-1 gave the best results on growth, P uptake, and yield of sweet corn.Keywords: Biochar: Entisols, Mycorrhizal

Abstract

This study aims to study the effect of land slope and distance from the main crops on soil water content at the end of the rainy season. The research location is located at position 3°41'51.8"S - 102°18'58.0"East in Talang Tengah I Village, Pondok Kubang District, Central Bengkulu. The research was conducted in February - April 2021. Soil analysis was done at the Soil Laboratory, University of Bengkulu. The study used a completely randomized block design with two factors. The first factor is the slope of 0-3% and 30%. The second factor is the distance of the cutting slope from the main oil palm tree, namely 1.5; 2.0; 2.5; 3.0; 3.5; and 4.0 m. Data were analyzed using ANAVA and LSD at 5% level. The results showed that the slope of the land and the distance between the slopes had a significant effect on the soil water content. The soil water content in both gravimetric and volumetric methods on slopes of 0-3% is higher than on slopes > 30%. The water content at a distance of 1.5 to 3 m from the tree of oil palm is lower than at a distance of 3.5 – 4.0 m.

Abstract

This research aims to map water availability on intensively cultivated agricultural land so that the land management method will be carried out appropriately. The method used to determine the sample points was the stratified sampling method, and 31 soil sample points were obtained. Soil samples are analyzed for their physical properties, which include soil texture, total pore space, bulk density, permeability, potential of free energy, and water content. The analysis results are presented as an overlay map of the measured variables. The research results show that agricultural land on a slope of 0-15% with a total area of 233 ha has good soil water retention in terms of the physical properties of the soil, so there is no need to improve soil management. Agricultural land on a slope of 15-25% with an area of 79 ha requires additional treatment to increase water retention by adding soil amendments to increase total soil pore space. Agricultural land on a slope of 25-45% with an area of 124 ha has excellent soil water retention supported by soil conservation practices in making terraces and installing plastic mulch. Meanwhile, agricultural land on a slope of >45% with an area of 33 ha has poor soil water retention, so soil conservation practices are needed.

Abstract

Utilizing marginal land, such as coastal areas, offers a viable approach to increasing soybean production. However, coastal lands are often characterized by low nutrient content and high porosity, necessitating effective strategies to optimize crop growth and yield. This study aimed to examine the interaction between urea application frequency and coffee husk compost dosage, identifying the best combination for enhancing soybean performance on coastal land. The research was conducted from November 2023 to February 2024 in Bengkulu City, Indonesia, at an elevation of approximately 5 meters above sea level. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was employed with two factors: coffee husk compost dosage (0, 10, 20, and 30 tons ha-1) and urea application frequency (0,1,2,and 3 times,at 100 kg ha-1). Results revealed a significant interaction between compost dosage and urea frequency, influencing several growth parameters, including plant height, pod number per plant, fresh and dry shoot weight, fresh and dry root weight, and seed weight per plant. Compost doses of 20 and 30 tons ha-1, along with 2 or 3 applications of urea, notably increased leaf number, productive branch number, and seed yield per plant. These findings indicate that optimizing both urea application frequency and coffee husk compost dosage can significantly improve soybean productivity on nutrient-poor coastal soils. This highlights the importance of integrated nutrient management for enhancing crop yield in marginal environments.

Abstract

Rice cultivation faces challenges due to limited land availability despite increasing demand. Utilizing swamp land for cultivation presents an alternative, albeit hindered by difficult-to-control water conditions and less effective fertilizer spread. To ensure optimal nutrient supply, foliar application of Azolla liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) is explored. This study investigates the ideal concentration and frequency of Azolla LOF application for rice growth and yield. Employing a split plot design, the main plot assesses LOF concentration (3%, 6%, 9%, 12%), while the subplot evaluates application frequency (1, 2, 3 times). Results indicate that a 9% LOF concentration yields the highest tiller count (17.99), longest panicle (25.788 cm), highest grain count per panicle (158.2978), heaviest grain weight per hill (45.878 g), and highest grain weight per plot (3457.52 g). However, the fastest flowering period (54 DAP) occurs with a 12% LOF concentration. Applying Azolla LOF three times achieves the earliest flowering (55.25 DAP), while two applications yield the longest panicle (25.03 cm). Notably, no interaction is observed between LOF concentration and application frequency on rice growth and yield. These findings provide insights into optimizing Azolla LOF application for enhanced rice cultivation in swamp lands.

Abstract

The low quality of Entisol is caused by low availability of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium as well as low soil pH, so the addition of vermicompost is necessary. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of vermicompost application on soil quality and to obtain the highest vermicompost dosage on the availability of nutrients such as N, P, K, and the yield of corn. The field experiment used a Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with 7 dosages of vermicompost and three replications. The treatments were V0 = 0; V1 = 5; V2 = 10; V3 = 15; V4 = 20; V5 = 25; V6 = 30 Mg ha-1. Variables observed consisted of 1) initial soil and vermicompost characterization analysis, 2) soil analysis and N, P, and K content in leaves, and yield of corn. The results showed that Entisol was classified as low quality; however, vermicompost quality complied with the requirements of quality organic fertilizer. The experiment also indicated that the highest pH of Entisol (5.31) and K content in corn leaves (2.12%) were obtained at a dose of vermicompost 25 Mg ha-1. Meanwhile, the highest weight of husked corn cobs (415.55 g plant-1) and weight of unhusked corn cob (351.11 g plant-1) were obtained at a vermicompost dose of 15 Mg ha-1.
