Aplikasi Pupuk Kandang Pada Tanah Merah (Ultisol Soil) Di Lahan Pertanian Batam, Kepulauan Riau

Abstract

Ultisol soil is a less fertile soil characterized by low soil fertility rate, high acidity with pH<5, high Al saturation. This land has an area of 25% of the total land area of Indonesia. Riau Island is one of the provinces dominated by Ultisol land, so many land is not productive to use as agricultural land. This research was conducted to look at the characteristics of red soil in the agricultural land in Batam City after mixed with organic material in this case which is used is goat manure and chicken manure. From the results of research, the addition of goat manure and chicken manure that is incubated for 30 days can already give changes to the physical and chemical character of the soil, such as soil becoming more loose, having higher water content, increasing soil C organic, Nitorgen, P2O5, K, Mg, and Mn, able to reduce Fe levels in the soil. The addition of chicken manure can increase the available of Phosphate, gives K, Mg, and Mn higher than compared mixing blanko with goat manure. The addition of goat manure can increase the total of C organic and N in the soil is higher than chicken manure.

Pengaruh Perbandingan Dosis Pupuk Kandang Ternak Ayam Dan Sapi Terhadap Biomassa Jagung Dan Dinamika Kation Tanah

“…Limbahlimbah tersebut dapat dikomposkan dan diaplikasikan pada lahan pertanian/ perladangan sehingga diharapkan mampu menurunkan degradasi tanah dan meningkatkan ekonomi sirkular petani-peternak di Kabupaten Tanah Laut. Ditemukan telah banyak laporan keberhasilan peningkatan kesuburan tanah dan peningkatan biomassa tanaman yang diaplikasikan pupuk kandang sapi (Lukmana et al, 2022;Setiono & Azwarta, 2020) maupun pupuk kandang ayam (Siregar & Nugroho, 2021;Walida et al, 2020), namun dari berbagai hasil penelitian yang telah ada, belum didapatkan kesimpulan hasil pertumbuhan tanaman jagung manis, peningkatan pH, dan Kapasitas Tukar Kation (KTK) yang dipengaruhi kombinasi kedua jenis pupuk kandang tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menetapkan kombinasi yang tepat dari pupuk kandang ternak ayam dan pupuk kandang ternak sapi dalam mendorong pertambahan tinggi tanaman, meningkatkan bobot kering tanaman, pH dan KTK tanah.…”

“…Sejalan dengan penelitian Walida et al (2020), yang melaporkan bahwa aplikasi pupuk kotoran ayam dengan dosis 46 ton.ha -1 sampai 60 ton.ha -1 mampu merehabilitasi pH tanah Ultisol yang terdegradasi. Dalam penelitian lain juga dilaporkan bahwa peningkatan pH dari indeks 4.8 menjadi 6 yang diiringi dengan kenaikan ketersediaan nutrisi makro mencapai 60% dari semula (Siregar & Nugroho, 2021).…”

Application of smart indoor hydroponic technology to support food security

“…The terrain in Batam City is generally flat with hilly variations, with an elevation of 160 meters above sea level. The soil in Batam is predominantly red soil, which is less fertile, and the weather is often variable, so only certain crops that can grow without following specific seasons can thrive (Siregar & Nugroho, 2021, Sutarman & Miftakhurrohmat, 2019. Batam City shares its borders with neighboring countries such as Malaysia and Singapore.…”
