The Inceptisols is a soil in great amount and widely distributed in Indonesia, even in the province of Aceh Inceptisols is the most extensive amount. The Inceptisols were found from lowland up to highland, and their properties are very varied. Commonly, the soil fertility of the Inceptisols of lowland is low. Calcite and Organic Matter are the easy matter found, and to be considered as a better soil amendment. While maize is improved varieties of crops that its production constantly to be increased. This experiment was conducted in order to study the contribution of organic matter as well as calcite contribution to the change of iron and manganese in soil and uptake by maize at North Aceh Inceptisol. Kinds of organic matter that was used consist of cow manure and water hyacinth (60:40). The fully randomized design has been conducted that consists of two combined treatment factors with three replicated. The factor is related to the kinds of organic matter was 0.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 ton ha-1 and calcite was 0.0, 1.0 and 1.5 ton ha-1. The results showed that the application of organic matter and calcite significantly affect levels of iron and manganese in the soil and plants. Dose organic material 4 ton ha-1 and calcite 1.5 tons ha-1 are able to increase at the highest level of the iron content of the soil, while the dose of organic materials 4 ton ha-1 and calcite dose 0.0-1.0 tonnes ha-1 is the best for the increasing of manganese in the soil. The highest content of iron and manganese of maize crop was obtained at a dose of 6.0 tons ha-1 of organic matter without calcite application.

This study aimed to determine the effect of water hyacinth addition to farm waste on the number of earthworms, earthworm weight, media shrinkage, vermicompost quality, and the sustainability and sensitivity of earthworm farming. The study was prepared using a completely randomized design with two different factors, the water hyacinth (media without water hyacinth and media with 5% water hyacinth addition) and raw materials from farm waste (chicken and cow manure, and biogas sludge from chicken and cow manure), with three replications for each treatment. The results showed that the addition of water hyacinth to raw materials from farm waste had a very significant effect on the number of earthworms, earthworm weight, media shrinkage, vermicompost quality (except for P2O5 level that had no significant increase). When manure is to be added to the cultivation media, it is recommended to use cow manure, while both types of biogas sludge (from chicken and cow manure) are good for the cultivation of earthworm. Based on the study of sustainability, the use of farm waste and water hyacinth as media to raise earthworm gives a positive value in economic and environmental aspects. Therefore, it has great potential.

The hydroton planting media that is marketed has the characteristics of low water holding capacity. The addition of organic material in the form of husk charcoal, cocopeat, and compost clay can increase the water holding capacity of the hydroton so that plant productivity increases. This study aims to determine the composition of the best planting media for pakcoy plant growth in hydroponic floating raft systems. The research was carried out at the Rooftop of the Food Building of the Faculty of Agricultural Industrial Technology, Padjadjaran University. The experiment was arranged using a completely randomized design that was repeated four times and seven combinations of treatments. The composition of organic matter is added as much as 2.5% and 5% of each organic material. The variables observed were plant height, the number of leaves, root length, leaf area, wet weight, and stover weight. All data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by DMRT test at the level of 5%. The results showed that the organic matter in hydroton had a role in the parameters of growth and productivity of pakcoy plants compared to hydroton materials without comparing organic matter and the weight of root wet. The treatment of adding organic matter in the form of (husk charcoal, 5%) and (Cocopeat, 5%) is a treatment that affects the root length and weight of root wet.

Some plants in swamps are a problem because the growth rate is relatively fast, such as water chestnut (Eleocharis dulcis), kalakai (Stenochlaena palustris), and water hyacint (Eichornia crassipe)s. Therefore, various technologies are always traced to increase the use value of these swamp plants. One of the uses is by making organic fertilizer to support the availability of nutrients for plants. The purpose of this study is to utilize swamp plants and compare the pH, C-organic, N-total and C / N ratio values ??of each swamp plant. The study was conducted at the Soil Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lambung Mangkurat in October - November 2014. The study used a single, completely randomized design (CRD). The factors studied were swamp plant organic material consisting of 3 treatments, namely: B1 (rat purun); B2 (kalakai); and B3 (water hyacinth). Each treatment was repeated 6 times, so that 18 experimental units were obtained. The results showed that water water hyacint had the highest N-total and the lowest C / N ratio compared to kalakai and water chestnut.

Animal manures have been used as natural crop fertilizers for centuries. Because of poultry manure’s high nitrogen content, it has long been recognized as one of the most desirable manures. Besides fertilizing crops, manures also supply other essential plant nutrients and serve as a soil amendment by adding organic matter, which helps improve the soil’s moisture and nutrient retention. Organic matter persistence will vary with temperature, drainage, rainfall, and other environmental factors. This 2-page fact sheet was written by Michael A. Davis, D.R. Sloan, Gerald Kidder, and R.D. Jacobs, and published by the UF Department of Animal Science, November 2013. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/aa205

Organic materials that are generally used as raw material for organic fertilizer granules (POG) is a natural organic material that has been degrade, smooth and dry. One of the main raw materials are always used with a very high percentage of usage, is manure. Manure potential in Indonesia is very high, amounting to 113.6 million tons per year, or 64.7 million tons per year to the island of Java. From this amount, it will be generated numbers POG production potential of 17.5 million tons per year (total Indonesia) or 9.9 million tons per year for the island of Java. While the realistic POG production predictions figures made from raw manure is 2.5 million tons annually, a figure that has been unable to meet the number requirement of POG greater than 4 million tons per year. Therefore, in producing POG, it should be to maximize the using of the potential of other organic materials so that the use of manure can be saved. With the use of a small amount of manure (maximum 30% for cow manure), it would be useful also to avoid the production of POG with high Fe content.keywods: organic material, manure, granule organic fertilizer

AbstractTwo experiments were conducted to measure rates of ruminal disappearance, and energy and nutrient availability and N balance among cows fed corn husks, leaves, or stalks. Ruminal disappearance was estimated after incubation of polyester bags containing husks, leaves or stalks in 2 separate ruminally cannulated cows in a completely randomized design. Organic matter (OM) that initially disappeared was greatest for stalks and least for husks and leaves (P < 0.01), but amounts of NDF that initially disappeared was greatest for husks, intermediate for stalks, and least for leaves (P < 0.01). Amounts of DM and OM that slowly disappeared were greatest in husks, intermediate in leaves, and least in stalks (P < 0.01). However, amounts of NDF that slowly disappeared were greatest in leaves, intermediate in husks, and least in stalks (P < 0.01). Rate of DM and OM disappearance was greater for leaves, intermediate for husks and least for stalks, but rate of NDF disappearance was greatest for stalks, intermediate for leaves, and least for husks (P < 0.01). Energy and nutrient availability in husks, leaves, or stalks were measured by feeding ruminally cannulated cows husk-, leaf-, or stalk-based diets in a replicated Latin square. Digestible energy lost as methane was less (P = 0.02) when cows were fed leaves in comparison to husks or stalks, and metabolizable energy (Mcal/kg DM) was greater (P = 0.03) when cows were fed husks and leaves compared with stalks. Heat production (Mcal/d) was not different (P = 0.74) between husks, leaves, or stalks; however, amounts of heat produced as a proportion of digestible energy intake were less (P = 0.05) among cows fed leaves in comparison to stalks or husks. Subsequently, there was a tendency (P = 0.06) for net energy available for maintenance from leaves (1.42 Mcal/kg DM) to be greater than stalks (0.91 Mcal/kg DM), and husks (1.30 Mcal/kg DM) were intermediate. Nitrogen balance was greater when cows were fed leaves, intermediate for husks, and least for stalks (P = 0.01). Total tract digestion of NDF was greater (P < 0.01) for husks and leaves compared with stalks. Husks had greater (P = 0.04) OM digestibility in comparison to stalks, and leaves were intermediate. Apparently, greater production of methane from husks in comparison to leaves limited amounts of energy available for maintenance from husks even though total-tract nutrient digestion was greatest when cows were fed husks or leaves.

AbstractUrea-based multi-coated slow release fertilizer was produced using water hyacinth, humic substances, and chitosan, with water rich in natural organic matter as a solvent. Elemental analysis showed that the nitrogen content of the fertilizer (FERT) was around 20%. Swelling tests demonstrated the effectiveness of the water hyacinth crosslinker, which reduced the water permeability of the material. Leaching tests showed that FERT released a very low concentration of ammonium (0.82 mg L−1), compared to the amount released from urea (43.1 mg L−1). No nitrate leaching was observed for FERT, while urea leached 13.1 mg L−1 of nitrate. In water and soil, FERT showed maximum releases after 30 and 40 days, respectively, while urea reached maxima in just 2 and 5 days, respectively. The results demonstrated the promising ability of FERT to reduce nitrogen losses, as well as to minimize environmental impacts in the soil–plant-atmosphere system and to improve the efficiency of nitrogen fertilization.
