“…Bulk density was negatively correlated with soil porosity (r = -0.842; P-value = 0.000; N = 18). Soil compaction causes a decrease in porosity value, which will interfere with water distribution into the soil (Ledermüller et al, 2021). Bachtiar (2019) found that the lower the bulk density, the more the total pore volume of the soil increases, and Sudaryono (2001) revealed the same thing.…”

Kecamatan Jatisrono berada di wilayah perbukitan yang menjadikan lahannya rentan terhadap erosi serta aktivitas lahan. Kondisi ini dapat mempengaruhi produksi biomassa dan menyebabkan kerusakan tanah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis status kerusakan tanah, mengkaji faktor penentu kerusakan tanah, serta memberikan rekomendasi pengelolaan tanah di Kecamatan Jatisrono. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Desember 2022 pada 36 titik yang mewakili setiap satuan peta lahan (SPL) di Kecamatan Jatisrono, Kabupaten Wonogiri, Provinsi Jawa Tengah, Indonesia. Parameter pengamatan lahan kering dan lahan basah mengadopsi dari Peraturan Pemerintah Republik Indonesia No. 150 Tahun 2000. Lahan kering meliputi parameter ketebaan solum, kebatuan permukaan, tekstur, bobot volume, porositas, permeabilitas, pH (H2O), daya hantar listrik, potensial redoks, dan jumlah mikroba. Lahan basah meliputi parameter kandungan pirit, kedalaman air tanah dangkal, pH (H2O), daya hantar listrik, dan jumlah mikroba. Metode yang digunakan adalah survei dan deskriptif eksploratif. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan metode purposive sampling. Sebanyak 12 satuan peta lahan (SPL) terdiri dari 6 SPL lahan kering (kebun dan tegalan) serta 6 SPL lahan basah (sawah). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pertanian lahan kering memiliki tingkat kerusakan tanah rusak ringan serta rusak sedang sedangkan lahan basah memiliki tingkat kerusakan tanah tidak rusak serta rusak ringan. Kerusakan tanah lahan kering sangat dipengaruhi oleh kemiringan lereng sedangkan kerusakan tanah lahan basah sangat dipengaruhi oleh jenis tanah. Faktor penentu kerusakan tanah lahan kering adalah bobot volume, porositas, dan permeabilitas tanah. Faktor penentu kerusakan tanah lahan basah adalah pH H2O tanah. Strategi pengelolaan kerusakan tanah lahan kering dengan meningkatkan bahan organik tanah. Strategi pengelolaan kerusakan tanah lahan basah dengan perbaikan irigasi.

Soil Density in Traditional Mouldboard Tillage

Until recently, mouldboard ploughing was used as the main tillage in almost the entire territory of Ukraine and Russia. However, mouldboard technologies contribute to the formation of a “plough pan”, which contributes to additional soil compaction. The intensity of agricultural production exacerbated the problem of soil compaction by machine and tractor units. The over-consolidation of soil results in stunted plant root growth, lack of oxygen, and water and nutrient restrictions. Soil compaction can be reduced by deep local chiselling. The aim of the study was to determine the density of the soil at different depths during continuous traditional cultivation (reverse ploughing). The density of the soil was evaluated by resistance to penetration into the soil in a vegetable-forage crop rotation on an experimental field with continuous traditional tillage. The measurement of penetration resistance was carried out using an automatic electronic hardness tester “DATAFIELD”. The boundaries of the experimental field were determined, a computer map of the experimental field was compiled with automatic “grid” of plot sizes, two-dimensional mapping was carried out, and the sequence and place of measurements were developed. As a result, the level of soil compaction at different penetration depths and resistance to root growth was determined. It has been established that with constant traditional reverse tillage, the soil at a depth of more than 10 cm is sufficiently compacted. At a depth of 15 cm, a strong compaction of the soil is observed, which indicates its physical and hydrological degradation.

“…This increased attention is especially related to the impacts of the increasing mechanization and wheel loads of machines in agriculture (Keller et al, 2019b). It was noted that a significant fraction of arable farmers in Germany are aware of the risk of intensive field traffic and high axle loads for subsoil compaction, but that this awareness had not yet led to adequate changes in practice (Ledermüller et al, 2021). Indeed, impacts of human-induced (sub)soil compaction seem to increase over time (Antille et al, 2019;Soane and Van Ouwerkerk, 1995;Sonderegger and Pfister, 2021).…”

Exploring relationships between soil compaction, amelioration and functioning

Background:The compaction of subsoils in agriculture is a threat to soil functioning. Measures aimed at the prevention, amelioration, and/or impact alleviation of compacted subsoils have been studied for more than a century, but less in smallholder agriculture. Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted to quantitatively examine the effects of the prevention, amelioration, and impact alleviation measures in mechanized and small-holder agriculture countries, using studies published during 2000~2019/2020. Results: Mean effect sizes of crop yields were large for controlled traffic (+34%) and irrigation (+51%), modest for subsoiling, deep ploughing, and residue return (+10%), and negative for no-tillage (−6%). Mean effect sizes of soil bulk density were small (<10%), suggesting bulk density is not a sensitive 'state' indicator. Mean effect sizes of penetration resistance were relatively large, with large variations. Controlled traffic had a larger effect in small-holder farming than mechanized agriculture. Conclusion: We found no fundamental differences between mechanized and smallholder agriculture in the mean effect sizes of the prevention, amelioration, and impact alleviation measures. Measures that prevent soil compaction are commonly preferred, but amelioration and alleviation are often equally needed and effective, depending on site-specific conditions. A toolbox of soil compaction prevention, amelioration, and alleviation measures is needed, for both mechanized and smallholder agriculture.
