Highlighting the role of bat guano as an organic fertilizer housing beneficial microbes for soil and plants. The research aimed to assess the effect of bat guano on bacterial diversity and chemical and nutrient properties of peat soil in the vicinity of a bat cave within oil palm plantation in West Sulawesi, Indonesia. Four samples, namely bat guano (BG), peat soil (PS), peat soil mixed with bat guano (PSM), and peat soil inside the cave (PSI) were assessed. Organic carbon, pH, total nitrogen, the C/N ratio, Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), Base Saturation (BS), macronutrients, and micronutrients were measured across all samples. Bacteria from the samples were also isolated, and their capability in hydrolyzing urea, solubilizing phosphate, solubilizing potassium, and producing the Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) hormone was characterized. The influence of bat guano was found on the enhancement production of IAA hormone, pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, C/N ratio, CEC, BS, macronutrients, and micronutrients. The results also demonstrated substantial bacterial community resemblance between PSM and BG in contrast to the original PS (3:1). Meanwhile, peat soil inside the cave was indicated unique and has bacterial diversity, which can hydrolyze urea, solubilizing phosphate, and potassium.

Studying the weathering process in pristine volcanic materials is crucial as this process will determine further soil characteristics. Mount Anak Krakatau is reported as one of the fastest-growing volcanoes. This volcano erupted powerfully in December 2018, ejecting tons of volcanic materials. These materials are considered pristine and unweathered tephra. Hence, a leaching experiment can be one of the crucial methods to predict further soil characteristics formed as climatic factors. Tephra sampling was conducted on 13 Augustus 2019 or eight months after the massive eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau in December 2018. Tephra samples were leached by deionized water (H2O), oxalic acid (H2C2O4) 0.02 M, and citric acid (C6H8O7) 0.02 M (solvents) for 90 days. pH of tephra increased approximately from (3.95– 4.99 ) to (5.12–8.11). Organic-C rose about 0.2 to 1 point higher than organic-C of tephra before the leaching experiment. The increasing value of organic-C was predicted to increase CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity) (2.13–5.36 cmolc kg-1). After the leaching experiment, the tephra’s surface was weathered clearly as an impact of solvents and the growing of algae.

Water and nutrients is important for plant which has its characteristics. This study has been carried out in the UB (Brawijaya University) forest about soil moisture content during rainy and dry seasons, Total-N, -P, -K from litter on different types of shade and age of coffee plants, and their effect on soil Available-N, -P, and -K. There are P1 (control), P2 (4-year-coffee + pine), P3 (7-year-coffee + pine), P4 (4-year-coffee + mahogany), and P5 (7-year-coffee + mahogany). These treatments affected to total soil moisture storage, Total-N, -P, -K of litter, and Available-N, -P, -K in the soil. The soil moisture storage change between rainy and dry seasons was 36.97 mm. The highest Total-N, -P, and -K of litter was 11.00 kg ha-1 y-1 at P3, 1.06 kg ha-1 y-1 at P2, and 4.35 kg ha-1 y-1 at P3, which was inconsistently associated with high soil nutrients. The highest Total-N was 0.40 (0-20 cm), 0.27 (20-40 cm), 0.30% (40-60 cm) at P4, Available-K was 1.69 (0-20 cm), 1.64 (20-40 cm), 1.87 cmol kg-1 (40-60 cm) at P5, and Available-P was 15.21 (0-20 cm), 14.06 (20-40 cm), 12.64 mg kg-1 (40-60 cm) at P1.

Vertisol has a clay texture, high micropores, and high water and nutrient absorption ability. The high water content of Vertisol causes the air to decrease, thus inhibiting root development. Stretching of the Vertisol structure is expected to increase soil porosity and reduce ion and water absorption. This study examines interactions between organic matter and percent sand on soil porosity and nutrient availability. The study was arranged according to a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD), repeated three times. The first factor was seven kinds of organic matter (control, cow dung + banana peel compost, cow dung + leaf litter compost + compost water hyacinth + cow dung, humin, humic acid, and biochar. The application doses are respectively for each treatment: humic acid and humin 20 kg ha-1, biochar 1 Mg ha-1, compost+manure fertilizer 15 Mg ha-1. Changes in soil chemical characteristics were evaluated against pH, C-org, and Available-P, while changes in soil physical characteristics were evaluated against bulk density, particle density, and soil porosity. The results showed that the combination of organic matter and percent sand could improve the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil. Bulk density (BD), particle density (PD), and soil porosity increased with the addition of sand. The organic matter significantly correlated with improving soil properties was humic acid, humin, biochar, compost, and manure, with the best percentage of sand at 20%.
Vertisol具有粘土质地，高微孔，高水分和养分吸收能力。Vertisol的高含水量导致空气减少，从而抑制了根系的发育。拉伸versol结构有望增加土壤孔隙度，减少离子和水的吸收。本研究考察了有机质和沙粒对土壤孔隙度和养分有效性的影响。本研究采用完全随机设计(CRD)，重复三次。第一个因子为7种有机质(对照、牛粪+香蕉皮堆肥、牛粪+凋落叶堆肥+堆肥水葫芦+牛粪、腐植酸、腐植酸、生物炭)。每个处理的施用剂量分别为:腐植酸和腐植素20 kg ha-1，生物炭1 Mg ha-1，堆肥+粪肥15 Mg ha-1。土壤化学特性的变化与pH、C-org和有效磷有关，而土壤物理特性的变化与容重、颗粒密度和土壤孔隙度有关。结果表明，有机质与百分砂的组合能改善土壤的理化特性。体积密度(BD)、颗粒密度(PD)和土壤孔隙度随砂的加入而增加。与土壤性状改善显著相关的有机质为腐植酸、腐殖素、生物炭、堆肥和粪肥，其中砂的添加比例以20%为最佳。

The cultivation of Red Onions (Allium ascalonicum, L.) in paddy fields needs to be investigated further because paddy fields have constraints on the soil physical and chemical properties, such as soil structure, drainage, pH, and nutrient availability. The application of husk charcoal and K fertilizer is expected to increase the productivity of Red Onions, so it is necessary to study the appropriate dose. The research aimed to determine the effect of the interaction between the application of husk charcoal and KCl fertilizer and the influence of each factor on the growth and yield of Red Onions. The results showed that rice husk charcoal treatment at a dose of 20 Mg ha-1 was effective in increasing the growth and yield of Red Onions compared to rice husk charcoal at a dose of 10 Mg ha-1 and 0 Mg ha-1 (control), as evidenced by the variable shallot plant height, number of leaves, number of tubers per clump, wet tuber weight per clump, and tuber dry weight per clump. KCl fertilizer treatments at doses of 100 kg ha-1, 200 kg ha-1, and 300 kg ha-1 did not significantly affect to growth and yield of Red Onions. There was not interaction between the rice husk charcoal and KCl fertilizer treatments.

The higher national rice demand encourages various efforts to increase rice production. This increase in rice production occurs in line with increasing public awareness of healthy foods, especially organic rice. Rice field management with an organic system is expected to provide a higher yield and quality of rice. This study aims to determine the effect of the long-time application of an organic rice management system on rice yield and quality. Descriptive exploratory research is supported by laboratory analysis of samples of organic rice plants with three periods (10 years, 7 years, and 4 years), semi-organic and conventional. The parameters observed were dry harvested grain, dry milled grain, the weight of 1000 grains, unfilled grain, protein content, amylum, amylopectin, and reducing sugar. The most prolonged organic rice field management with the application of 10 years gives better results with a protein content of 6.14%, amylum 71.71%, and amylopectin 49.35%. While the application of organic farming for 7 years gives the highest rice yield, the difference is not confirmed with the application of organic 10 years, with the weight of dry grain harvest 10.44 Mg ha-1, dry milled grain 8.15 10.44 Mg ha-1, the weight of 1000 grains 24 g, and unfilled grain 3.8%.

The potential for oil palm production on peatlands is very diverse; different types of peat, maturity, and depth significantly influence yields. This study aims to determine the characteristics of peat with different depths in supporting the growth and productivity of oil palm. The research was conducted at the PT Kaswari Unggul Palm Oil Plantation in Jambi Province using laboratory surveys and test methods. Observations done were Plant height, Number of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB), Stem Circumference, FFB Weight, Midrib Length, Palm Oil Productivity, Light Intensity. Soil analysis were available-P, total-Fe-, total N, organic-C and CEC, pH, Al-exchange, total-K, Soil Moisture, and Peat Maturity. In shallow peat, the soil is more completely decomposed and provides nutrients that can be absorbed by plants so that plants grow better. The results showed that the shallow peat has a maturity level of sapric peat (very ripe) and peat in hemic maturity (slightly mature). Also, the depth of peat will affect the value of total-N, pH, available-P, and K-exchange and does not affect organic-C, total-Fe, CEC, and Al-exchange. Moreover, the growth and production of oil palm on shallow peat were better than on deep peat.

Soil is dynamic due to various internal and external processes exerted on the soil, resulting in unique soil characteristics in space in short and long distances. Geostatistics (kriging) is the method of quantifying the spatial variation of soil properties. This research was mainly aimed at applying geostatistics to quantify and interpolate the spatial dependence and structure of three soil properties, namely pH, EC, and Soil Moisture Content (SMC) in a small area. This research was conducted on paddy fields in Mlandingan Kulon Village, Situbondo Regency. Sampling was conducted on an area of 9.2 ha with 31 sample points. Normal data distribution was found for pH and EC, whereas this was not the case for SMC. The results of the analysis showed that most of the pH values were alkaline (>8), EC values were non-saline (<2 mm/cm), and SMC was in the low category (<20%). The results show that for three soil properties, weak dependencies were observed. The values of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) confirmed that kriging with exponential was better compared to the spherical model, resulting in the RMSE of 0.546 (pH), 0.041 (EC), and 1.512 (SMC).

Coffee is one of Indonesia’s most prominent agricultural commodities; various coffee plants are produced with the best results from the west to the east of Indonesia. Indonesia’s climate and geographical location are suitable for cultivating the coffee plant. This study aims to determine the level of land suitability and the limiting factors for the development of coffee plants, as well as provide direction/recommendations in the development of coffee plants in Rantau Pulut Village, Seruyan Regency, Central Kalimantan. Land suitability has the potential to be increased from S2 to S1 by managing the limiting factors for the number of dry months and rainfall, SB (Saturated Base), pH, P2O5, and K2O so that the potential land suitability for the study area is S2r. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive survey method with a matching system, namely matching land quality/land characteristics with land use requirements for agricultural commodities to be developed. The result of the actual land suitability analysis of Rantau Pulut Village for developing robusta coffee plants is S3fn

Ultisol soil has a low organic matter content, CEC, and pH, causing an insufficient buffering capacity for N nutrients, especially NH4+. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of tillage and fertilization on the quantity and intensity (Q/I) of Ammonium (CRNH40, PBCNH4+, NH40, KG) in the soil, plant N and C uptake, and mung bean yields at the sixth growing season in ultisols. This study was arranged in a 2 × 2 factorial in a Randomized Block Design (RBD). The first factor was the tillage system (T), namely minimum tillage (T0) and intensive tillage (T1). The second factor was the fertilization (P), namely without fertilizer application (P0), and with fertilizer application (NPK 200 kg ha-1 + 1 Mg ha-1 chicken manure) (P1). Each treatment was replicated four times. The results showed that the application of NPK fertilizer significantly affected the mung bean yield, mung bean plant Nitrogen and Carbon uptake at harvest time. While, the intensive tillage had a very significant effect on increasing the N uptake compared to the minimum tillage. Minimum tillage and fertilization increased Q/I parameters (PBCNH4+, KG, CRNH40, and NH40). The parameter of Q/I (CRNH40) was significantly correlated with mung bean plant N and C uptake. PBCNH4+ and KG were significantly correlated with mung bean yields.
多质土壤有机质含量、CEC和pH较低，对N养分，尤其是NH4+的缓冲能力不足。本研究旨在研究施肥和耕作方式对多施土壤中铵态氮(CRNH40、PBCNH4+、NH40、KG)的数量和强度(Q/I)、植物对氮和碳的吸收以及绿豆产量的影响。本研究采用随机区组设计(RBD)，采用2 × 2因子。第一个因素是耕作制度(T)，即最少耕作(T0)和精耕细作(T1)。第二个因素是施肥(P)，即不施肥(P0)和施肥(NPK 200 kg ha-1 + 1 Mg ha-1鸡粪)(P1)。每个治疗重复4次。结果表明，氮磷钾肥的施用显著影响了绿豆产量和收获期绿豆植株对氮和碳的吸收。而精耕细作对提高氮素吸收量的作用显著高于少耕细作。少耕和施肥增加了Q/I参数(PBCNH4+、KG、CRNH40和NH40)。Q/I参数(CRNH40)与绿豆植株氮、碳吸收呈极显著相关。PBCNH4+和KG与绿豆产量呈极显著相关。
