A field experiment was conducted for the reclamation of a Cheringa hot spot of acid sulfate soil manipulated by flash leaching followed by basic slag (BS; BS10 and BS20: basic slag at 10 and 20 t ha-1), aggregate size (A; A20 and A30: aggregate sizes of soil less than 20 and 20-30 mm) treatments under two different techniques (Tech 1: pyrite layer at top, jarosite layer at middle and top soil at the bottom of ridge; Tech 2: top soil at top, pyrite layer at middle and jarosite layer at the bottom of ridge). Nutritional responses to two cultivars of rice with the treatments were evaluated. The initial soil had very low pH (H2O); 3.4, and high EC; 1.6 m S-1, and pyrite content, 76 g kg-1. Magnesium content (5.38 c mol kg-1) of the soil was about 3 fold than that of Ca (1.71 c mol kg-1), and Al content (9.22 c mol kg-1) was at a highly toxic level. The average soil data of all the treatments, except for the control plots after harvesting of rice were increased by 1.5 units for soil pH and 12 to 463% for the contents of N, P, Ca and Mg, while the concentrations of Fe, Al, Na, Cl- and SO4 2- decreased by 27 to 93% compared with the initial soil. The highest N, P, K, Ca, and Mg contents in both the BR 14 and Pizam rice shoots at maturity were obtained by the A20BS30 followed by A20BS20?A30BS30 treatments. The other treatments also resulted in a significant (p?0.05) improved performance on plant nutrition compared with the control. The local Pizam exhibited the best responses under the Tech 2 in order of these nutrient uptakes. Sulfur content in the rice plants on control plots was high (1.8-2.1 g kg-1) but it decreased significantly by the different treatments.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 52(2), 97-106, 2017

Modified-Plain-Ridge-Ditch techniques (Tech 1: pyrite layer at top, jarosite layer at middle and top soil at the bottom of ridge; Tech 2: top soil at top, pyrite at middle and jarosite layer at the bottom of ridge) were used under field condition for the reclamation and improvement of the pre-leached Cheringa acid sulfate soil manipulated by basic slag (BS20 and BS30: basic slag 20 and 30 t ha-1) and aggregate size (A20 and A30: aggregate sizes of soil less than 20 and 20-30 mm) treatments. The initial soil had very low pH (3.4), high ECe (1.6 S m-1) and pyrite content (76 g kg-1). Magnesium content (water soluble + exchangeable = 5.38 c mol kg-1) of the soil was about 3 fold than that of Ca (1.71 c mol kg-1), and Al content (9.22 c mol kg-1) was highly toxic level. The pre- and post harvested soil data revealed that the properties of the soil was strongly (p?0.05) influenced by the different treatments. The average soil data of all the treatments at post harvesting of rice cultivars were increased by 1.5 units for soil pH(dry) and 12 to 463% for the contents of N, P, Ca and Mg, while decreased the concentrations of Fe, Al, Na, Cl- and SO4 2- by 27 to 93% compared with the initial soil. The maximum growth and yield of rice grain (5.4 t ha-1) were attained by the local cultivar Pizam compared with the high yielding variety BR 14 (5.1 t ha-1) by the A20BS30 treatment in the ridges of the Tech 2. The lowest grain yields of 0.03 (BR 14) and 0.07 (Pizam) t ha-1 were recorded for the control plots (where no amendment was applied). The other treatments also resulted in a significant (p?0.05) improved performance on plant production compared with the control.J. Asiat. Soc. Bangladesh, Sci. 42(1): 29-40, June 2016

A pot experiment was conducted to study the carrying over effects of soil aggregate size, groundwater level and basic slag treatments in acid sulfate soils of Badarkhali and Cheringaseries which were examined for the reclamation during 1998-2001. Initially the soils were very strongly acidic (pH 3.9 for Badarkhali; 3.6 for Cheringa) and very strongly saline (ECe 23 mS/cm for Badarkhali) to moderately saline (10.3 mS/cm for Cheringa). Application of these treatments exerted remarkable improvement in soil fertility and plant growth on these soils after 18 years of occasional cultivation. In 2016, pH at different treatments in these soils ranged from 6.2 to 7.4 for Badarkhali, 5.2 to 7.1 for Cheringa and ECe from 1.7 to 3.2 mS/cm for Badarkhali, 1.5 to 8.75 for Cheringa soils. At the same time in Badarkhali soil, organic matter content (1.3 - 2.8%), total N (0.02 - 0.11%), available N (2.69 - 18.29 mmol/kg), available P (0.78 - 5.08 mmol/kg) were determined and almost similar values of these parameters were recorded in Cheringa soil. Available S contents were found to decrease and ranged from 0.06 - 0.18 cmol/kg in Badarkhali and 0.08 - 0.21 cmol/kg in Cheringa soils. In spite of using basic slag, the concentrations of lead and cadmium in the studied soils were determined below (highest value of Pb was 2.07 mg/kg and Cd 1.8 mg/kg) the normal contents (Pb 70 mg/kg and Cd 10 mg/kg) in the agricultural soils.Bangladesh J.

A long term incubation study was carried out to ascertain the effects of basic slag on acid sulfate soil. Four treatment levels of basic slag (0, 30, 40 and 50 t/ha) were selected to find out their response on pH, EC, as well as on various water soluble and exchangeable cations (Na, K, Ca, Mg and Fe) with incubation period. In most of the cases, the results showed significant effects of basic slag on pH and cations. The highest pH and EC were recorded with the largest doses of basic slag at the final stage of incubation period. In addition, this research did not find any negative impacts concerning basic slag on the supplied soil and suggested that basic slag could be used on agricultural land.

Rumput laut (Gracilaria verrucosa) telah dibudidayakan di tambak tanah sulfat masam dengan kualitas dan kuantitas produksi yang relatif tinggi. Oleh karena itu, dilakukan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui peubah kualitas air yang mempengaruhi laju pertumbuhan rumput laut di tambak tanah sulfat masam Kecamatan Angkona Kabupaten Luwu Timur Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Pemeliharaan rumput laut dilakukan di 30 petak tambak  terpilih selama 6 minggu. Bibit rumput laut dengan bobot 100 g basah ditebar dalam hapa berukuran 1,0 m x 1,0 m x 1,2 m. Peubah tidak bebas yang diamati adalah laju pertumbuhan relatif, sedangkan peubah bebas adalah peubah kualitas air yang meliputi: intensitas cahaya, salinitas, suhu, pH, karbondioksida, nitrat, amonium, fosfat, dan besi. Analisis regresi berganda digunakan untuk menentukan peubah bebas yang dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi peubah tidak bebas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa laju pertumbuhan relatif rumput laut di tambak tanah sulfat masam berkisar antara 1,52% dan 3,63%/hari dengan rata-rata 2,88% ± 0,56%/hari. Di antara 9 peubah kualitas air yang diamati ternyata hanya 5 peubah kualitas air yaitu: nitrat, salinitas, amonium, besi, dan fosfat yang mempengaruhi pertumbuhan rumput laut secara nyata. Untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan rumput laut di tambak tanah sulfat masam Kecamatan Angkona Kabupaten Luwu Timur dapat dilakukan dengan pemberian pupuk yang mengandung nitrogen untuk meningkatkan kandungan amonium dan nitrat serta pemberian pupuk yang mengandung fosfor untuk meningkatkan kandungan fosfat sampai pada nilai tertentu, melakukan remediasi untuk menurunkan kandungan besi serta memelihara rumput laut pada salinitas air yang lebih tinggi, tetapi tidak melebihi 30 ppt.Seaweed (Gracilaria verrucosa) has been cultivated in acid sulfate soil-affected ponds with relatively high quality and quantity of seaweed production. A research has been conducted to study water quality variables that influence the growth of seaweed in acid sulfate soil-affected ponds of Angkona Sub-district East Luwu Regency South Sulawesi Province. Cultivation of seaweed was done for six weeks in 30 selected brackishwater ponds. Seeds of seaweed with weight of 100 g were stocked in hapa sized 1.0 m x 1.0 m x 1.2 m. Dependent variable that was observed was specific growth rate, whereas independent variables were water quality variables including light intensity, salinity, temperature, pH, carbondioxide, nitrate, ammonium, phosphate, and iron. Analyses of multiple regressions were used to determine the independent variables which could be used to predict the dependent variable. Research result indicated that relative growth rate of seaweed in acid sulfate soils-affected brackishwater ponds ranged from 1.52% to 3.63%/day with 2.88% ± 0.56%/day in average. Among nine observed water quality variables, only five variables namely: nitrate, salinity, ammonium, phosphate and iron influence significantly on the growth of seaweed in acid sulfate soils-affected brackishwater ponds. The growth of seaweed in acid sulfate soils-affected brackishwater ponds of Angkona District East Luwu Regency, can be improved by using nitrogen-based fertilizers to increase ammonium and nitrate contents and also fertilizers which contain phosphorus to improve phosphate content to a certain level. Pond remediation to decrease iron content and also rearing seaweed at higher salinity (but less than 30 ppt) can also be alternatives to increase the growth of seaweed.
