Spatial Distribution of Soil Properties and Soil Fertility Status in the Paddy Rice Field of Oransbari
Hastuti, Irena Tri, Djuuna, Irnanda Aiko Fifi, Baan, Samen
Soil properties and soil fertility status of paddy rice fields are considered important factors related to the yield and production of rice; therefore it is essential to understand those properties across the farm.  The objectives of this research is to quantify the soil properties and soil ferti...

Application of Rice-Husk Biochar to Coarse-Textured Ultisols and the Effects on Soil Fertility Indicators at Different Amendment-to-Sampling Intervals
Ebido, Nancy Ekene, Awaogu, Chukwuebuka Ebuka, Akubue, Jacinta Chinonso
The low fertility status of the highly weathered tropical soils offers the opportunity to study the potential and optimum application rate of biochar as an organic soil amendment, especially for the dominant coarse-textured Ultisols. Despite the relatively fast mineralisation of organics in these so...

Study of the Quality of Biogeotextile Materials as Semi-Organic Mulch on Saline Land
Wijayanti, Fitri, Maroeto, Maroeto, Lestari, Safira Riska
Degraded land affects almost all ecosystems and can harm the progress and quality of human life, so it needs attention. Saline soil is a land degradation with high salt content that causes toxic effects, increases root osmotic pressure, and inhibits plant growth. One solution is using organic mulch ...

Water Table Control Model for Maize Cultivation of C Typology Land on Tidal Lowland Reclaimed Area of South Sumatra, Indonesia
Imanudin, Momon Sodik, Madjid, Abdul, Bakri, Bakri
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...

The Influence of Organic and Inorganic Amendments on Phosphorus Chemistry in Two Acidic Soils of Southwestern Ghana
Victor, Owusu-Gyimah, Klogo, Phanuel Yao, Gbefo, Francis
A study in southwestern Ghana compared the effects of organic and inorganic additives on P availability and related factors in two acidic soils, Ankasa and Abenia. Different amounts of P as KH2PO4 were applied: 0.067 g kg-1 for Abenia and 0.041 g kg-1 for Ankasa. Soil samples were treated with cow d...
