Subiksa et al, 2018. Comparison Effect of Several Phosphate Contain Fertilizers to Nutrient Loss Trough Leaching on Peat Soil. JLSO 7(1): Peat soil have specific nutrient adsorption characteristics which are affected by soil pH dependent charge. Therefore, nutrient management on such soil should be done using different approach compared to mineral soil. Research on the comparison effects of several types of phosphate containing fertilizers to nutrient loss through leaching on peat soil has been carried out in greenhouse using a coulom experiment. The objective of study was to evaluate the rate of primary macro nutrient loss and look for fertilization technology which can reduced leaching rate.  The study used a randomized block design of 14 treatments with 3 replications. The treatments were complete control treatment, partial control and 4 types of P contain fertilizer, namely SP-36, NPK compound, Chrismast Island Phosphate Rock (CIRP), and Pugam each of them with 3 levels dose. The peat soil used was ombrogenous peat with hemic maturity level taken from OKI Regency, South Sumatra. Watering was done every 2 days with 350 ml ion-free water/pot. The results showed that N and K nutrients leaching, mostly was due to application rate of those nutrient, whereas type of fertilizer was not revealed significantly different. Meanwhile, P concentration in leachate water was significantly different among treatments. Leaching of P in the control treatment was very low because of P content of peat soil was low. The highest loss of P trough leaching rate was shown by the NPK treatment because NPK compound is belong to fast nutrient release fertilizer. CIRP and Pugam treatments showed low P loss trough leaching rates due to the slow release of P on CIRP and Pugam. The low leaching rates of CIRP and Pugam are also because of high content of Al and Fe as polyvalent cation that can promote new soil positive charges as site adsorption of P. It can be concluded that fertilization with a slow release type of phosphate fertilizer and contain sesquioxide as source of polyvalent cations such as CIRP and Pugam can reduced the rate of phosphate loss trough leaching.

The epidermal layer of carrot roots grown on peat soil contained more ascorbic acid and less phenols, carotene, reducing sugars, and dry matter than those from a mineral soil. The increased level of phenol and the decreased level of the anti-oxidant ascorbic acid are the likely contributing causes of the increased browning of carrots in mineral soils relative to peat soils.

Soil of tropical forest ecosystem plays very crucial part in controlling the universal carbon cycle. The isolation of microorganisms and their identification are important for understanding their vital role on transformation of organic matter of this ecosystem. Soil storage maximum microbial genetic diversity because of it’s a multilayered environment. No complete methods were discovered yet to cultivate majority of soil microorganisms. A little is known about microbial structure and their essentiality in tropical peat lands compared to most other terrestrial and oceanic habitats. In providing insight to the impacts of land-use of peat land on microbes in Central Kalimantan, Borneo Indonesia, we examined the community structure and diversity of bacteria and fungi in different peat forest soil including: i) natural peat swamp forest (well mixed swamp forest type); ii) disturbed peat soil and iii) mineral soils by using 454 pyrosequencing technology. The results showed that no significant difference was found for diversity and evenness among the sites of fungal community. However, natural peat swamp forest had the highest species richness (Chao1), which was significantly higher than the other two sites (P<0.05 and P<0.05). According to the OTUs analysis four fungi phyla were obtained of which 45 species were classified. The Ascomycota was the most abundant phylum, followed by Basidiomycota, Zygomycota and Glomeromycota. The natural peat swamp forest and disturbed peat soil harbored the maximum number Ascomycota. On the other hand, mineral soil and natural peat soil contained the highest number of Basidiomycota. The top species in natural peat swamp forest included Sugiyamaella paludigena, Polyancora globosa and Ganoderma gibbosum. The mineral soil enriched the abundance of Penicillium herquei, Sugiyamaella paludigena and the disturbed peat soil contained the highest frequency of Polyancora globosa, Gymnopilus lepidotus. According to the PCoA analysis, the community structure of fungus in natural peat soil differed significantly from mineral soil (P=0.04) and disturbed peat soil (P=0.039). No significant difference was found for bacterial species richness (Chao1) among the sites. The diversity of bacteria in disturbed peat soil significantly differed from the other sites (P<0.05 and P<0.05). eleven bacterial phyla and 53 genera were examined. All of the three sites contained the similar abundance of Proteobacteria. The natural peat swamp forest and disturbed peat soil harbored the most abundant Acidobactria. Genera Mycobacterium, Gp1, Gp13, Gp2, Burkholderia, Actinospica, Aciditerrimonas were found in all the sites. Genera Granulibacter, Gp4, Acidisoma, Clostridium_sensu, Clostridium_ XI were only observed in natural peat swamp forest. Genera Rudaea, Rhodopila, Streptomycetes were found only mineral soil. The PCoA analysis showed that the structure of bacteria in natural peat swamp forest significantly differed from the disturbed peat soil (P=0.045). Overall, the bacterial species richness and diversity are more among the sites than of the fungi. J. Biodivers. Conserv. Bioresour. Manag. 2019, 5(1): 133-144

This article presents the results of research on the evaluation of rooting performance in the growing media of Ficus species in the interior. In the propagation of Ficus species, the vegetative method was selected and experimental work was carried out in growing media of 4 species. Sand (control), soil, Indole Butyric Acid (IBA) (4,000 mg/l) was obtained as cultivation media. The room temperature at which the experiments were placed was monitored and controlled. During rooting of cuttings, the room temperature was maintained at 18–24 ° C. Humidity was maintained at 40-50%. Soil and sand moisture were maintained at 30-40 degrees depending on temperature (based on the readings of the soil moisture meter). Observations were made and recorded every 3–5 days to determine the vegetative rooting rate of the Ficus Benjamin plant. Taking into account the transpiration of the plant and the evaporation of water into the air, 3-5 ml of water was poured in 10-12 days. As a result of these observations, the timing of vegetative rooting and irrigation norms were determined. Rooted plants were planted in peat, soil, humus feed, coarse sand substrate in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. In selecting these plants, a number of important indicators such as their growth patterns, leaf shape, habitat, drought tolerance, shade tolerance, soil moisture and composition were analysed and conclusions were drawn based on the findings.

The results of long-term monitoring of soil temperature regime at Bakchar district (Tomsk region) located in the southern taiga zone of Western Siberia are presented. The temperature regimes of peat and mineral soils are compared; their difference is shown. Peat soil has a smoothed temperature dynamics compared to mineral soil. According to monthly average data, in the warm season, the upper 80 cm of peat soil is 57 C colder than the mineral soil and 0.31.0 C warmer in the cold season. The increased thermal inertia of the peat soil prevents both its heating and cooling.

Peat soil is characterized by poor nitrogen (N) availability. Ameliorants are expected to rectify this problem. This research  aimed to study the effect of ameliorant on N availability and N uptake by sweet corn plant in degraded peatland. The experiment was conducted in the greenhouse in May-July 2011 and on peatland of Kalampangan Village, Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan in September-December 2011. Burnt peat soil of Kalampangan was used in the greenhouse experiment and sweet corn was used as an indicator plant. The treatments consisted of two factors, i.e. compositions of ameliorants by weight (A1 = 80% chicken manure + 20% dolomite; A2 = 80% local farm weed + 20% dolomite; A3 = 80% mineral soil + 20% dolomite; A4 = 20% chicken manure + 20% local farm weed + 20% residue of Chinese water chestnut (Eleocharis dulcis) + 20% mineral soil + 20% dolomite; and A5 = 19% chicken manure + 71.5% mineral soil + 9.5% dolomite) and rates of those ameliorants (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 t ha-1). The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized block design with three replications. Data were collected every two weeks for five times. Observations were made on soil pH, available N (NH4+, NO3-), plant height, and N uptake in root and shoot. The results showed that  treatment A1 increased soil pH and availability of NH4+ and NO3-  in peat soils at the maximum vegetative stage. Treatment A1 provided the highest N availability and N uptake by the plant. Field experiment showed that N uptake increased  with the plant yield. Optimum yield of fresh corn cob was obtained from treatment A1 at the rate of 20 t ha-1. This research reconfirms the effectiveness of chicken manure and dolomite as peat soil ameliorant.
