Ultisol soil has high potential for the development of dryland agriculture. However, this soil use faces obstacles because the nutrient content in Ultisol soils is generally low. This study aims to determine the effect of manure and straw compost on increasing nutrient content of phosphorus in ultisol soil. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 9 levels of treatment, namely P0 = control, P1 = manure 10 tons / ha, P2 = manure 5 tons / ha, P3 = compost 5 tons / ha, P4 = compost 10 ton / ha, P5 = manure 5 tons / ha + compost 10 tons / ha, P6 = manure 10 tons / ha + compost 5 tons / ha, P7 = pellet compost 5 tons / ha, P8 = compost pellets of 10 tons / ha. The treatment was repeated 3 times. The results showed that giving 10 tons / ha of manure plus 5 tons / ha of compost had a significant effect on reducing Al-dd content, and increasing P-available, pH, base saturation, cation exchange capacity and C-organicon Ultisol soil. Giving pellet fertilizer 10 tons / ha gives a real influence on the growth of maize plants.

Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh waktu inkubasi kapur dan abu sekam terhadap perubahan beberapa sifat kimia Ultisol dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) non faktorial yang dilakukan pada tanah yang sama, dengan 2 bahan yang berbeda yaitu kapur dan abu sekam. Dosis diberikan sebanyak 4 taraf dan diulang 4 kali sehingga terdapat 8 perlakuan dan 32 satuan percobaan dengan waktu inkubasi selama 2, 4 dan 6 minggu. Untuk melihat perbedaan hasil perlakuan digunakan uji F dan dilanjutkan dengan uji (BNT0,05). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semakin lama inkubasi kapur dan abu sekam maka kemasaman tanah (pH), Kapasitas Tukar Kation (KTK), P-tersedia semakin meningkat dan Al-dd semakin menurun. Inkubasi 6 minggu merupakan waktu yang tepat untuk menaikkan pH, KTK dan meningkatkan P-tersedia, kecuali pada pH pemberian abu sekam waktu yang tepat adalah inkubasi 4 minggu. Sedangkan Al-dd pada inkubasi 2 minggu kapur dan abu sekam sudah hilang dan tak terukur. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa, kapur dolomit dan abu sekam pada Ultisol memberikan perbedaan yang sangat nyata pada pH, P-tersedia, KTK dan Al-dd. The Effect of Incubation Time of Calcium and Husk Ash on Changes in Some Chemical Properties of UltisolAbstract. This study aims to examine the effect of incubation time of calcium and husk ash on changes in some chemical properties of Ultisol by using a non-factorial Completely Randomized Design (RAL) performed on the same soil, with 2 different materials which were calcium and husk ash. The dose was given 4 levels and repeated 4 times so that there were 8 treatments and 32 experimental units with incubation time for 2, 4 and 6 weeks. To see the differences of treatment result, F test continued with test (BNT0,05) were used. The results showed that the longer incubation of calsium and husk ash acidity (pH), Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and P-available increased and Al-dd decreased. The 6 weeks incubation was the exact time to increase pH, CEC and increase P-available, except the exact time for pH of husk ash, i.e which was 4 weeks incubation. While Al-dd on 2 weeks incubation, calcium and husk ash had been disappeared and immeasurable. It can be concluded that dolomite calcium and husk ash on Ultisol showed a very significant difference in pH, P-available, CEC and Al-dd.

Soils with small variations in relief and under the same management system present differentiated spatial variabilities of their attributes. This variability is a function of soil position in the landscape, even if the relief has little expression. The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of relief shape and depth on spatial variability of soil chemical attributes in a Typic Hapludox cultivated with sugar cane at two landscape compartments. Soil samples were collected in the intercrossing points of a grid, in the traffic line, at 0-0.2 m and 0.6-0.8 m depths, comprising a set of 100 georeferenced points. The spatial variabilities of pH, P, K, Ca, Mg, cation exchange capacity and base saturation were quantified. Small relief shape variations lead to differentiated variability in soil chemical attributes as indicated by the dependence on pedoform found for chemical attributes at both 0-0.2 m and 0.6-0.8 m depths. Because of the higher variability, it is advisable to collect large number of samples in areas with concave and convex shapes. Combining relief shapes and geostatistics allows the determination of areas with different spatial variability for soil chemical attributes.

Variations in moss peat cation exchange capacity (CEC) and base saturation (BS) can result in inconsistent initial pH in moss peat-based substrates created using standard formulas for limestone additions and can lead to subsequent drift from the initial pH in those substrates. This study was conducted to determine the extent of such variation. CEC and BS were measured in three replications on 64 moss peat samples that were selected from three mires across Alberta, Canada, to represent maximum gradients in plant species composition within six degrees of decomposition acceptable for professional peat-based substrates. CEC ranged from 108 to 162 cmol·kg−1 (meq·100 g). Averaged overall samples, BS ranged from 15% to 71% of CEC and calcium accounted for 68%, magnesium for 25%, sodium for 5%, and potassium for 1.4% of BS. CEC was positively correlated to the amount of Sphagnum fuscum (Schimp.) Klingrr. in the sample (r = 0.22). BS was positively correlated to the amount of sedge (r = 0.28). Neither CEC nor BS was influenced by degree of decomposition (r = 0.002 and r = 0.08, respectively). Moss peats with high CEC have a greater buffering capacity than those with low CEC, resulting in less pH drift. Moss peats with high BS should have a low neutralization requirement to achieve a target pH. Understanding the species composition in peat-based substrates can alleviate problems of inconsistent initial pH and subsequent pH drift.

The impact of long-term (> 100 yr) irrigation on soil chemical properties was studied on eight plots in the Beli Drim river valley in Kosovo and Metohija near Klina, Serbia. For these studies, soil samples from shallow profiles were collected from only one or two depth zones of the Ah horizon; and from moderately deep and deep profiles, from two to three depth zones for the purpose of comparing irrigated field and non-irrigated meadow lands. Water from the Beli Drim River and surface gravity systems (irrigation furrows or border strip irrigation) were used for irrigation. Chemical variables included determination of pH-H2O, content of CaCO3, content of humus, hydrolytic acidity, sum of basic cations, cation exchange capacity, and base saturation. On irrigated soils, the results of chemical analysis showed on average a small increase in pH-H2O (0.07 pH units), as well as a significant decrease in humus content (2.00-4.75%), sum of basic cations (4.98-12.98%) and cation exchange capacity (12.8%) compared to the non-irrigated land of the study area. Long-term irrigation had no effect on hydrolytic acidity and base saturation in the Ah horizon of the investigated lands. Namely, the mentioned variations in the chemical properties of the investigated soils show that slight processes of reduction in the humus content and reduction of the content of base cations occured. Data on the chemical properties of the investigated soils indicate that the destructive processes of reduction in the humus content and leaching of base cations must be controlled in order to achieve a stable sustainable system of high productivity and prevent their further deterioration.

Changes in the cation exchange complex are one of the secondary effects arising out of the increasing organic matter content of soils, due to the influence of phosphorus fertilizers on leguminous pastures. Analysis of solonetzic soils from the long-term Kybybolite P plots indicates that there is a close relation between organic matter increase and increases in cation exchange capacity. For each increase of 0.1 % soil nitrogen, there has been a corresponding increase of 3.48 m-equiv.jl00 g in cation exchange capacity. Associated with these changes there have been increases in the level of exchangeable calcium and exchangeable hydrogen. Changes in exchangeable calcium appear related to the amount and form of fertilizer or amendment applied. Where little calcium has been added, the increase in cation exchange capacity has been satisfied almost entirely by hydrogen, and base saturation has decreased. There appears to have been little upward movement of metal cations from the lower horizons to the surface by plants, possibly owing to the species involved, or to the intractable nature of the B horizon. The possible effects of changes in the cation exchange complex on plant growth are discussed. Also, the possibility of maintaining base saturation on infertile soils where cation exchange capacity is being increased, is examined.

Soil fertility is one of the most important factors influencing plant growth and productivity and it depends on the availability and quantity of nutrients in the soil. To study soil fertility status of an area, a study on soil chemistry and physics has to be conducted. The aim of this study was to investigate soil fertility status of smallholding Arabica coffee farms based on altitude and shades trees utilization. This research was carried out in April-August 2012 at IjenRaung highland areas by field survey. The results showed that the soil contained high content of organic carbon, nitrogen total, and C/N ratio; low available phosphorus; moderate to high cation exchange capacity, and low base cation of calcium, magnesium, and potassium; as well as slightly low pH. Higher altitude tended to have higher C organic and N total content, C/N ratio as well as pH. In contrast, in lower altitude tended to have lower available P, base saturation, as well as Ca, Mg, and K content. The dominant shade trees for coffee farming at the Ijen-Raung highland areas were suren (Toona sureni) , dadap (Erythrina sp.), kayumanis (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), pinus (Pinus mercusii), and kayu putih (Eucalyptus globulus). Different shade tree species resulted in different of soil fertility. Shade trees tended to influence cation exchange capacity from moderate to high, pH slightly acid, high base saturation, and low P available. Suren tree influenced better base cation than that of other trees but dadap tree was better in increasing soil fertility.

Soil samples were analysed from a long-term liming trial (38 years) and a fertilizing trial (36 years) on woody sedge peat soils at Tohmajärvi Experimental Station in eastern Finland. Five applications of 4000 or 6000 kg/ha of ground limestone increased the soil pH from 4.4 to 4.8 or 5.0, respectively. The cation exchange capacity was increased from 72 me/100 g to 76 or 80 me/100 g, and the base saturation from 43 per cent to 56 or 61 per cent, respectively, if the exchangeable cations were extracted by ammonium acetate at pH 7. The relative increases in the cation exchange capacity and base saturation percentage were even higher when determined by the method of Teräsvuori. The contents of exchangeable calcium and magnesium were increased and that of potassium decreased by liming. A lower application of lime, five times 2000 kg/ha, did not cause statistically significant changes. Owing to the large variation no significant effect of liming on the content of organic phosphorus or of various fractions of inorganic phosphorus in this soil could be detected. Liming did not increase the total amount of mineral nitrogen extracted by K2SO4-solution from the samples incubated under the labotatory conditions, but the highest application enhanced nitrification. Annual applications of 22 kg P/ha as superphosphate, 66 kg K/ha as 40 % or 50 % potassium fertilizer, and 15 kg N/ha as calcium nitrate alone or in any combination did not change the acidity or the cation exchange capacity of the soil in the fertilizing trial. The application of superphosphate was detectable as higher Bray 1 test values and higher contents of inorganic phosphorus in various fractions. The content of exchangeable potassium was about 0.2 me/100 g in plots N, P, and NP, about 0.3 me/100 g in plots PK and NPK, and more than 0.5 me/100 g in plots K and NK. This is well in accordance with the significant response in yields produced by phosphate in this trial. The accumulation of mineral nitrogen in the samples incubated under the laboratory conditions was highest in soil from plots K and NK, and lowest in soil from the plots PK and P.
