The objectives of this research are (1) to determine the chromium metal content in rice field soil that exceeds the threshold limit, and (2) to examine several chemical prop…
Perigi Village, Pangkalan Lampam, has experienced significant land cover changes in recent years due to human activities, such as clearing land for agriculture and infrastructure. These changes impact local ecosystems, reducing vegetation density and affecting environmental quality. This research aims to analyze changes in land cover and vegetation density temporally using Sentinel-2A imagery i…
Soil quality is the ability of the soil to carry out its various functions. Soil quality value is an index calculated based on the value and weight of each soil quality indicator. One of the causes of soil quality degradation is changes in land use, namely mining activities. The aim of this research is to determine information on the value of soil quality on PT Timah Tbk post-tin mining land, T…
Wetlands are areas that are waterlogged or have very moist soil conditions for most of the year. Wetlands encompass various ecosystems, including swamps, peatlands, marshes, and mangroves. The water in wetlands can be freshwater, brackish, or saline. This study was conducted to analyze the levels of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients in the wetlands of PT. Hindoli. Soil fertility analysis was ca…
Intensive farming has led to the degradation of many paddy soils. Degradation of paddy soil is one of the causes of the decrease in rice production in South Sumatera in 2023. Degraded paddy soil is prone to organic carbon deficiency, macro and micro nutrient deficiencies that rarely receive attention from farmers. Zinc (Zn) is an essential micro-nutrient required by rice plants for maximum grow…
This study aimed to determine the physic quality of compost (smell, water content, temperature, color and compos particle size). Compost is the remaining organic material from plants, animals, and organic waste that has undergone a decomposition or fermentation process. Local Microorganisms (MOL) are made from natural materials, as a medium for living and developing microorganisms which are use…
Cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) is an important vegetable crop that is widely consumed by the community. One of the efforts to increase and optimize the growth of cherry tomato plants is to apply vermicompost fertilizer. Vermicompost is an organic fertilizer that is useful for plant growth because it can increase soil fertility. In cherry tomato plants, to be able to grow …
Oil palm plants have a very important role for Indonesia, especially in the development of national plantations. Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is a fibrous-rooted plant. These fibrous roots grow from the entire base of the stem to a depth of 0.45 m and a length of up to 20 m depending on soil type, availability of nutrients, water and consist of primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary …
This study was conducted to study the high fluctuations or movement of groundwater face and waterway face in peat. This research was conducted at Sriwijaya Botanical Garden, Bakung Village, North Indralaya District, Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra Province in October to December 2019. Data analysis in the form of soil content weight, total pore space of soil and hydraulic conductivity value of…
This study aims to determine the effect of dolomite lime and urea fertilizer on plant nitrogen uptake on peat planted with rice plants in various different growth phases. The hypothesis in this study is that the combination of dolomite lime treatment at a dose of 10 tons/ha and urea fertilizer at a dose of 125 kg/ha can increase nitrogen uptake in rice plants on peat soil. This research was con…
