Acid sulphate soils (ASS) had low pH, low nutrients availability and also soluble aluminium and iron were high. Inoculum of sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) which organic matter as media could increased the soil pH, nutrient content and decrease sulfur-total of acid sulfate soils. The research was conducted in a randomized block design with two replications. This study used a randomized block design with two factors and two replications. The first factor was compost inoculum (C) was taken ten treatments from without any inoculum SRB and 9 treatment with different types and dosages of organic matter as media. The second factor was the water content condition (K) namely of K1: 100% field capacity and K2: 110% field capacity. Different types and dosages of organic matter appear to influence the changes in soil properties (tends to decrease soil sulfate and increase soil pH, and nutrient content levels in soil and plant). Inoculum SRB of palm oil empty bunches and weed gave a higher sulfate reduction compared to C0 (without inoculums) or inoculums with carrier media that used rice straw in water content 100% or 110% field capacity (FC).
ABSTRAKKeterbatasan lahan subur untuk pertanian mendorong peneliti untuk menggali potensi lahan sulfat masam bagi pengembangan pertanian. Tanah sulfat masam mempunyai luas yang cukup potensial untuk di manfaat kan sebagai lahan pertanian, namun tanah ini mempunyai berbagai masalah dan kendala dalam pengembangannya. Tanah sulfat masam mempunyai pH rendah dengan ketersediaan unsur hara yang rendah dan kelarutan Al dan besi yang tinggi. Disamping itu lahan sulfat masam mengandung pirit yang apabila teroksidasi akan menyebabkan terjadinya penurunan pH hingga <3.5. Diperlukan suatu teknologi agar tanah sulfat masam bisa dimanfaatkan untuk pengembangan pertanian Bakteri pereduksi sulfat mempunyai kemampuan untuk mereduksi sulfat di alam sehingga kadar sulfat tanah menurun. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengisolasi bakteri pereduksi sulfat dari lahan sulfat masam dan dari sumber sulfat lainnya dan selanjutnya melakukan uji potensi bakteri tersebut di laboratorium. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dari tiga sumber isolat yaitu tanah sulfat masam, limbah pabrik kertas dan air panas sumber belerang, diperoleh beberapa isolat bakteri pereduksi sulfat yang diberi nama sesuai dengan asalnya yaitu TSM (tanah sulfat masam), LK (limbah pabrik kertas) dan AP (Air panas mengandung belerang). Hasil pengujian yang dilakukan pada media posgate cair dengan berbagai perlakuan kemasaman (pH) menunjukkan bahwa pemberian BPS menurunkan kadar sulfat media tumbuh.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
