Abstract

Bayan District has a wavy to mountainous topography. The type of soil in the area is classified as Inceptisol, so it is very susceptible to erosion. An agroforestry system, with various stands of perennial crops, has been developed in the area, as a conservative measure to support the sustainability of land resources. This study aims to assess the value of soil erodibility in Elephant foot yam-based agroforestry systems in five types of stands, namely: Teak (A1), Cashew (A2), “Gamal” and Banana (A3), Cocoa (A4), and Coffee (A5). The method used is descriptive method with survey technique. Determination of the research location was carried out by purposive sampling with the criteria of land having a rather steep slope (15-17%), the soil order Inceptisol, located in the upper slope, and a high level of stand vegetation homogeneity.  Soil samples (undisturbed and disturbed) were collected using the diagonal method on 10 x 10 m plots randomly placed in each agroforestry system with a depth of 0-20 cm. Parameters observed were soil texture (pipette method), soil permeability (constant head), soil structure (qualitative in the field), and soil organic matter (Walkley and Black). The result showed that the value of soil erodibility, in agroforestry systems with different stands, was significantly difference, with the lowest value was found in the Coffee agroforestry system (A5) of 0,416 and the highest was found in the Cashew system (A2) of 0,661. The effectiveness of improvement soil erodibility in the agroforestry system of A5 was 37% better than A2.

Abstract

:  This study aims to determine the quality of compost of a mixture of Oyster Mushroom Baglog waste and Cow Manure, using Promi (Promoting Microbes), MA-11 (Microba Alfaafa-11), and BPF (Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria) decomposers. The experiment was arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), consisting of 4 ( Four) treatments: P0 = Baglog Oyster Mushrooms and Manure with a ratio = 1:2 without decomposers, P1 = Baglog Oyster Mushrooms and Manure with a ratio = 1:2 plus Promi, P2 =Baglog Oyster Mushrooms and manure with a ratio = 1:2 plus MA 11, P3=Baglog Oyster Mushrooms and Manure with a ratio of = 1:2 plus (BPF). Each treatment was repeated three times to obtain 12 experimental units. Parameters measured were: texture, pH, C-organic, N-total, C/N Ratio, Temperature (Temperature), Compost Color, and Compost Odor. The results showed that of the three decomposers used in this study, Promi was better at decomposing compose for two months. Promi is faster in changing the color of the compost to black, faster in reducing the temperature of the compost, has a pH of 6.81, and has the lowest organic C content and total N content of 0.94%. Of the three decomposers used in this study, Promi is better and faster for producing compost from a mixture of baglog and cow manure than the other treatments.
