The relationship Between Soil Chemical Properties and Uptake of Tea Plant Nutrient in PTPN VI Jambi

Abstract

Healthy soil could support plant growth by optimizing the availability of nutrients. The availability of nutrients influences the health of tea plants. Nutrient deficiencies would affect the plant physiology that exhibits the plant withering. This study aimed to define the relationship between soil nutrient availability with plant nutrient uptake. This research was conducted by managing secondary data soil chemical properties, and tea plant nutrients analyzed statistically with Pearson correlation. This study only found a significant correlation between soil pH with P and Mg uptake. Correlation results between soil nutrient and plant nutrient uptake obtained a significantly negative correlation on soil pH with P and Mg nutrients with a correlation value of pH-P (r=-0.52), pH-Mg (r=-0.52). There was no correlation between other soil nutrients and plant nutrient uptake. The results of this study can be used to determine the dose of fertilization and the management recommendation of tea plants.

Relation of Soil Physical Parameters and Dominant Vegetation with Infiltration Capacity in Latuppa Sub-Watershed Palopo Indonesia

“…According to Ali et al (2022), the IVI is influenced by the large stem diameter and many vegetation types. According to (Seiwa et al, 2021;Fischer et al, 2015;Endarwati et al, 2017), a higher density, diversity, richness, and uniformity of a vegetation index can increase the infiltration rate well. IVI values in different observation plots are affected by the kind of vegetation and the average size of the trunk diameter of each tree of the same species (Isa et al, 2023;Ganamé et al, 2019;Gunawan et al, 2012).…”
