Abstract

The low organic matter content of paddy soils impacts the declining quality of land. Without the efforts to enrich the soil organic matter (SOM) content, the productivity of paddy fields will decrease or the need for inorganic fertilizers will increase to reach the level of yield. The present research aims to determine the effect of differences in organic and conventional paddy fields management practices on soil organic carbon (SOC) content and biological activities. The research was conducted from July to September 2018 on organic and conventional paddy fields in Dukuhseti Sub-district, Pati Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Sampling points were taken from six organic samples in the organic paddy fields while the other six samples were taken from conventional paddy fields. The variables observed in this research were organic C, pH, total N soil, total bacterial colonies, soil respiration and microbial biomass C. The results show that the organic C content in the organic paddy field (2.4%) was higher than that of the conventional paddy field (1.8%). The C content of organic paddy fields increased by 0.6%. The differences of the total bacterial colonies, soil respiration and microbial biomass C between organic paddy fields and conventional paddy fields were 11.5 CFU g-1, 7.42 mg CO2 week-1 and 0.51 µg g-1, respectively, because the use of organic farming systems could improve the biological nature of soils and caused biological activity in organic paddy fields to have the highest value compared to conventional paddy fields.

Abstract

The appropriate method of P fertilizer application is very important for the efficiency of P uptake and yield improvement. This research aimed to assess the growth response, seed product, and P uptake efficiency of soybean to the application of fast dissolved phosphorus fertilizer. Two consecutive potted experiments under greenhouse condition were conducted using Alfisols from Jumantono Karanganyar as planting media. The soybeans were planted and treated with six doses of P fertilizer. The treatments were designed in a completely randomized experiment with 5 replications. In the first experiment, the plants were harvested at the maximum vegetative growth for measurement of plant growth components and P uptake. In the second experiment, the plants were harvested at optimum grain maturity for seed yield and P efficiency measurements. The results showed that the application of fast dissolved-P fertilizer improved plant growth, seed yield and P uptake efficiency. Fast dissolved-P fertilizer was optimum at a dose of 100 kg/ha which was applied in a split application method at 0, 15, and 30 days after planting. However further field research is necessary to confirm the results.
