ABSTRACT
An incub:tion experiment in laboratory using peat soil from Lagan, Jambi was conducted to study the effect of
steel slag on chemical properties of peat soil. In addition, a pot experiment using the same peat soil was carried
out to investigate combination effect of steel slag and NPK, saprodap, or standard fertilizers - urea, SP-36, and
KCI- on growth and yield ofwetIand rice. Application ofsteel slag on peat soil significantly improved the availability
ofSi as well as increased soil pH and exchangeable Ca andMg. On the other hand, it significantly decreased soil
organic matter content, total N, and the availability of Fe, Mn, and Zn. Moreover, the effect of steel slag on the
availability of Cu was not significant. Wetland rice grown on peat soil highly responded to steel slag application.
The number of productive tiller, number of panicle, and weights of fIlled and total spikelets were significantly
raised with steel slag application. Interaction of steel slag with NPK, saprodap, or standard fertilizers also had
significant effect on those rice yield variables. In combination of steel slag and NPK fertilizer, steel slag 2.5 %
produced the highest rice yield. However, in combination of steel slag and saprodap or standard fertilizers, the
highest rice yield was achieved at dosage of steel slag 5.0 %. In general, combination of slag 2.5 % and NPK
fertilizer produced the highest rice yield. Increasing the growth and yield of rice after application of steel slag was
associated with increasing the availability of Si, soil pH, and exchangeable Ca and Mg as well as reducing toxic
organic acids.
Key words: peat soil, steel slag, wetland rice
INTRODUCTION
Staple food of Indonesian people is rice, so rice is the most important crop in this country. Since 1960is Indonesian
Government have implemented various efforts to meet rapid increase ofrice demand, such as intensification and expansion
of rice land areas. These efforts succec:ded in improving rice production and since 1984 Indonesia has successfully
achieved self-sufficient level ofrice production. However, the populationgrows so fast that the demand of rice keeps on
increasing. Consequently, the rice production must be increased annually to maintain the self-sufficient level.
Unfortunately, non-agricultural sectors are using up more and more arable lands. Therefore, the availability of fertile
lands for rice is declining and rice lands are pushed onto infertile lands.
One infertile land potentially for expansion of wetland rice is peat soil, because these soils are flat and level,
permanently water saturated - with cheap gravity drainage easily possible - and not yet occupied for agriculture or other
purpose (Driessen, 1978). These soils are mainly distributed along the eastern coast ofSumatra, the southern and western
coasts of Kalimantan, and the southern coast of West Irian (Driessen and Soepraptohardjo, 1974). They cover about 24
million hectares, corresponding to 12:6% oftotal land resources of Indonesia (Muljadi and Soepraptohardjo, 1975). Peat
soils vary from extremely poor to very rich, depending on the kind and composition ofthe organic materials. In particular,
they have low content oftotal silicon, and micronutrient deficiencies such as copper and zinc deficiencies occur frequently.
Moreover, wetland rice on deep peat suffers from male sterility (Driessen, 1978).
Silicon is a beneficial mineral element for rice growth by maintaining erect leaves (Balasta et al., 1988;
Yoshida, Navasero, and Ramirez, 1969); promoting the growth, strong culms and roots, and early..panicle fonnation;
increasing the number ofspikelets per panicle and percentage ofmatured grain (De Datta, 1981); decreasing transpiration
rate (M~toh, Murata, and Takahashi, 1991); increasing the resistance to fungi, insects, and mites (Ishizuka and Hayakawa;
1951; Yolk, Kahn, and Weintraub, 1958); diminishing the unfavorable action of nitrogen on the resistance to lodging,
stem borer, and diseases such as blast (Idris, Hossain, and Chounhury, 1975; Ota, Kobayashi, and Kawaguchi, 1957) and
alleviating Mn or Fe toxicity or both (Horiguchi, 1988; Okuda and Takahashi, 1962).
The most common material used as a source of Si for rice cultivation in many countries for example Japan,
Korea, Taiwan, and China is steel slag containing calcium silicate, a by-product formed in the process ofsteel manufacturing
(De Datta, 1981; Ma and Takahashi, 1993). AI present, Indonesia produces annually about 350000 tons of steel slag;
however, it has not been used yet in agricuiture. Besides has high content ofSi, Indonesian steel slag also contains much
Ca, Mg, and Fe as well as relatively high micronutrient (Suwa~o and Goto, 1997a). It is necessary, the!.:..efore, to explore
the effects ofthis slag on the growth and yield of wetland rice grown on peat soil.
The objectives of this experiment were: (i) to eval,vate effects of steel slag on the chemical properties of peat
s0il and (ii) to evaluate effects of steel slag on growth and yield of wetland rice grown on the peat soil.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Experiment I. Incubation experiment in laboratory using peat soil from Dendang, lambi was carried out to evaluate
effect of steel slag on chemical properties ofpeat soil. Peat soil equivalent to 109 oven dry basis was placed in 200 ml
'. ofplastic bottle to which steel slag in size less than 2 mm in dosage of0, 2.5,5.0,7.5, and 10 % ofsoil weight, respectively,
was added and mixed thoroughly. The bottles were incubated for two months and then the chemical soil properties: pH,
exchangeable Ca and Mg, available Si, Fe, Mn, Cu, and, Zn, total N and organic matter content were analyzed.
Experiment II. Pot experiment in greenhouse using the same peat soil was conducted to evaluate combination effect of
steel slag and three kinds of fertilizer on growth and yield ofwetland rice grown on peat soil. Each pot contained 2 kg
oven dry basis ofpeat. soil. Steel slag in size less than 2 mm was applied in three dosage levels: 0.2.5, and 5.0 % of soil
weight and combined with three kinds offertilizer: NPK (15-15-15), saprodap (16-20-0), and standard fertilizer (urea,
SP-36, and KCI). These fertilizers were applied in dosage of500 ppm N, 500 ppm pps.and 500 Kp. Moreover, all pots
were received 5 ppm Cu ofCuS04
.5HP as basal fertilizer. Four plants of twenty one days-old ofIR 64 rice variety were
transplanted into all pots. This plant was harvested at maturity. Plant variables measured were numbers ofproductive
tiller and panicle; weights of filled, unfilled, and total·spikelets as well as percentage of filled spikelets.
To evaluate the effects oftreatment, the data ofsoil chemical properties as well as plant growth and yield variables
were analyzed by analysis ofvariance. Furthermore, the means oftreatment were analyzed by w-Tukey Test (Steel and
Torrie, 1980).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Effects ofSteel Slag or. Chemical Properties ofPeat Soil
As shown in Table I, soil pH, exchangeable Ca and Mg, and available Si were significantly increased after application of
steel slag. The values of these variables were increased with increasing the amount of steel slag. On the other hand,
organic matter content, total nitrogen, and available Fe and Zn were significantly decreased with application ofsteel slag.
The magnitudes of these soil chemical properties were decreased as the amount ofsteel slag was increased. Available
Mn was increased after application of steel slag; however, the avaiiability of Mn was decreased as the amount of steel
slag was increased frOID 2.5 % to 10 %. In addition, steel slag had no significant effect on available Cu.
In peat soil, steel slag reacted with H20 containing CO2: producing base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+) and other
cations in additioILto base conjugate (hydroxide, silicate, and carbonate) and other anions, thus increased'concentration
ofthese cations and anions in soil solution. The Ca2
+and Mg2+ then replaced for exchangeable acidity (exchangeable Al
~.c.." and H) on adsorption sites. As a result, application ofsteel slag increased exchangeable Ca and Mg as well as-i:ncreased
available Si. This result was agreed to that obtained by Suwarno and Goto (l997b) on mineral soil.
At the same time, the hydroxide (OH') and silicate (H SiO)') reacted with W , resulting in Hp and H Si0 .
3 4 4
These processes reduced exchangeable H, which in turn increased soil pH value. Consequently, application of steel slag
increased pH value ofpeat soil.
Increasing pH value of peat soil due to application of soil amendment increased decomposition of organic
matter (Andriesse, 1997). During decomposition process, organic matter were attacked by microorganism, resulting in
simple products such as carbon dioxide, water, ammonia, ammonium, nitrites, nitrates, elemental nitrogen, sulfides,
sulfates, inorganic phosphates, and cations for examples Ca2+, Mg2+, and K+ (Brady, 1990). Increasing rate ofdecomposition
increased the amount ofdecomposed organic matter, which in tum increased the amount ofsimple decomposition products.
As a result, application of steel slag to peat soil - which increased pH soil pH - reduced organic matter content.
Total nitrogen is total of organic and inorganic nitrogen in the soil (Tan, 1996). During decomposition of
organic matter, organic nitrogen is mineralized into inorganic nitrogen. Total nitrogen in the soil is constant during
decomposition process if there is no release of gaseous nitrogen to the atmosphere. Result of nitrogen total analysis in

Table I indicated that nitrogen total was decreased with application of steel slag. Ratio ofCIN in steel slag treatments of
0,2.5,5,7.5, and 10 % were 107.7, 101.5, 108.9,98.4, and 91.9; respectively. This result indicated that in decomposition
oforganic matter there was released gaseous nitrogen to the atmosphere. The amount ofgaseous nitrogen released to the
atmosphere was increased with increasing the dosage ofsteel slag.

solubility ofthese minerals was extremely low
in the pH range of soils and also affected by

iron in steel slag which could supply iron was
apparently only forsterite feroan
«Mg,Fe)2Si04) (Suwamo and Goto, 1997a). However, iron released from this mineral was precipitated as iron hydroxide
with increasing soil pH after application of steel slag (Foth and Ellis, 1988; Lindsay, 1979). In addition, iron has high
affmity to humic substances to form chelates (Tan, 1998). Formation ofthese chelates reduced available iron - amount of
iron extracted with 0.05 N Hel - in peat soil.
The increase in soil pH might have shifted the equilibrium between soluble Mn2+ arid insoluble Mn02
toward
insoluble Mn02 (Adam, 1965), thus reduced available Mn. Moreover, Mn also could form chelates with humic substances
(Tan, 1998). Fomation of these chelates reduced the availability ofMn. On the other hand, reaction ofsteel slag in the
peat soil also yielded Mn2+ ions, because this material contained 1.55 % ofMn02 (Table 2). ApparentIy,the amount of .
Mn2+ produced by steel slag in this experiment was slightly higher than that ofconverted into Mn02 and formed chelates
with humic substan~es. As a results, available Mn was increased with application of steel slag; however, the availability
of Mn was decreased with increasing the dosage of steel slag.
Available Zn significantly decreased with steel slag application, and the availability of Zn was decreased with
increasing the dosage of steel slag. Availability of Zn in the soil was decreased with increasing soil pH (Lindsay, 1979).
In addition, Zn could form chelates with humic substances resulted from decomposition of organic matter (Tan, 1998).
Because application of steel slag increased soil pH and decomposition rate oforganic matter, application ofthis material
reduced availability of Zn in peat soil.

Response ofWetland Rice to Combination ofSteel Slag and NPK, Saprodap, or Standard Fertilizers
Growth ofricc plant was very poor without application of steel slag. On treatments ofsteeJ slag 0 % + NPK fertilizer and
steel slag 0 % + saprodap fertilizer, rice plant failed to produce panicle. As shown in Table 3, application ofsteel slag on
peat soil significantly improved numbers ofproductive tiller and panicle as well as weights of filled and total spikelets.
Combination ofsteel slag and NPK fertilizer produced higher numbers ofproductive tiller and panicle than combination
of steel slag and saprodap or standard fertilizers. Weights of filled and total spikelets also higher with the former
combination. In combination of steel slag and NPK fertilizer, steel slag 2.5 % produced the highest rice yield (weight of
filled spikelets). However, in combination ofsteel slag and saprodap or standard fertilizers, the highest yield was achieved
at dosage of steel slag 5 %. In general, among those combinations, combination of steel slag 2.5 % and NPK fertilizer
produced the highest rice yield.
The very poor rice growth on pots untreated steel slag might be associated with the very low soil pH value, the
low exchangeable Ca and Mg, and the low available Si as well as the presence of toxic organic acids. At pH value less
than 4.0, hydrogen ions had a significant influence on absorption of many inorganic ions (Jackson, 1967), so inhibit the
growth ofrice plant. The presence of toxic organic acids in peat soil is also the problem that has to be solved in utilizing
ofpeat soil for wetland rice cultivation.
The low exchangeable Ca and Mg in this soil also restricted the growth of rice plant, therefore they had to be
noticed in wetland rice cultivation on peat soil. According to De Datta (1981), the functions of Ca in rice plant are as: a
constituent of cementing material ofplant cells, an important constituent of calcium pectate, which strengthens the cell
wall, maintainer ofturgidity ofcell walls, and promoter ofnormal root growth and development. The functions ofMg in
rice plant are as: a constituent of chlorophyll molecule, a component of several essential enzymes, and functions similar
to Ca.
Silicon has various beneficial effects in rice plant such as: promotes the growth, strengthens culms and roots,
favors early panicle formation, increases number ofspikelets per panicle and percentage of matured grains, increases the
resistance to attack of fungi, insects, and mites, and deminishes the unfavorable action of nitrogen on the resistance of
rice to diseases such as blast. Therefore, the low availability ofSi has to be corrected in cultivation of wetland rice on
peat soil.
Application ofN, P, and Kfertilizers as urea, SP-36, and KCl- called as standard fertilizers - only improve the
availability of N, P, and K nutrients; therefore the growth of rice was poor. Application of steel slag to peat soil that
increased soil pH, exchangeable Ca and Mg, and available Si as well as reduced toxic organic substauces improved
growth and yield ofIR 64 rice variety. These results were agreed to that obtained by Snyder, Jones, and Gascho (1986).
However, the increasing yield obtained in this experiment was far higher.
In this experiment, interaction effect of steel slag with NPK, saprodap, or standard fertilizers was significance.
In combination with NPK fertilizer, steei slag 2.5 % produced higher rice yield than steel slag 5.0 %. On the other hand,
in combination with saprodap or standard fertilizers, steel slag 5.0 % produced higher yield. Apparently, it was associated
with the ability of the three kinds of fertilizer in supplying N, P, and K nutrients as well as condition resulted from their
reactions in peat soil.
CONCLUSION
Application of steel slag on peat soil significantlyimproved the availability of Si as well as increased soil pH and
exchangeable Ca and Mg. On the other hand, it significantly decreased soil organic matter content, total N, and the
availability of Fe, Mn, and Zn. Wetland rice grown on peat soil highly responded to steel slag application. The numbers
ofproductive tiller and panicle as well as weights of filled and total spikelets were significantly increased with steel slag
application. Interaction of steel slag with NPK, saprodap, or standard fertilizers also had significant effect on those rice
yield variables. In combination ofsteel slag and NPK fertilizer, steel slag 2.5 % produced the highest rice yield. However,
in combination of steel slag and saprodap or standard fertilizers, the highest rice yield was achieved at dosage of steel
slag 5.0 %. In general, combination of slag 2.5 % and NPK fertilizer produced the highest rice yield. Increasing the
growth and yield of rice after application of steel slag was associated with increasing the availability of Si, soil pH, and
exchangeable Ca and Mg as well as reducing toxic organic acids.

  • 3. Utilization of Steel Slag in Wetland Rice Cultivation on Peat Soil Suwamo Department of Soil Science, Faculty ofAgriculture, Bogor Agricultural University Jalan Meranti, Kampus IPE Darmaga, Bogor, Indonesia Telp.: 0251-629360; Fac.: 0251-629358; e-mail: soiIipb@indo.netid ABSTRACT An incub:tion experiment in laboratory using peat soil from Lagan, Jambi was conducted to study the effect of steel slag on chemical properties of peat soil. In addition, a pot experiment using the same peat soil was carried out to investigate combination effect of steel slag and NPK, saprodap, or standard fertilizers - urea, SP-36, and KCI- on growth and yield ofwetIand rice. Application ofsteel slag on peat soil significantly improved the availability ofSi as well as increased soil pH and exchangeable Ca andMg. On the other hand, it significantly decreased soil organic matter content, total N, and the availability of Fe, Mn, and Zn. Moreover, the effect of steel slag on the availability of Cu was not significant. Wetland rice grown on peat soil highly responded to steel slag application. The number of productive tiller, number of panicle, and weights of fIlled and total spikelets were significantly raised with steel slag application. Interaction of steel slag with NPK, saprodap, or standard fertilizers also had significant effect on those rice yield variables. In combination of steel slag and NPK fertilizer, steel slag 2.5 % produced the highest rice yield. However, in combination of steel slag and saprodap or standard fertilizers, the highest rice yield was achieved at dosage of steel slag 5.0 %. In general, combination of slag 2.5 % and NPK fertilizer produced the highest rice yield. Increasing the growth and yield of rice after application of steel slag was associated with increasing the availability of Si, soil pH, and exchangeable Ca and Mg as well as reducing toxic organic acids. Key words: peat soil, steel slag, wetland rice INTRODUCTION Staple food of Indonesian people is rice, so rice is the most important crop in this country. Since 1960is Indonesian Government have implemented various efforts to meet rapid increase ofrice demand, such as intensification and expansion of rice land areas. These efforts succec:ded in improving rice production and since 1984 Indonesia has successfully achieved self-sufficient level ofrice production. However, the populationgrows so fast that the demand of rice keeps on increasing. Consequently, the rice production must be increased annually to maintain the self-sufficient level. Unfortunately, non-agricultural sectors are using up more and more arable lands. Therefore, the availability of fertile lands for rice is declining and rice lands are pushed onto infertile lands. One infertile land potentially for expansion of wetland rice is peat soil, because these soils are flat and level, permanently water saturated - with cheap gravity drainage easily possible - and not yet occupied for agriculture or other purpose (Driessen, 1978). These soils are mainly distributed along the eastern coast ofSumatra, the southern and western coasts of Kalimantan, and the southern coast of West Irian (Driessen and Soepraptohardjo, 1974). They cover about 24 million hectares, corresponding to 12:6% oftotal land resources of Indonesia (Muljadi and Soepraptohardjo, 1975). Peat soils vary from extremely poor to very rich, depending on the kind and composition ofthe organic materials. In particular, they have low content oftotal silicon, and micronutrient deficiencies such as copper and zinc deficiencies occur frequently. Moreover, wetland rice on deep peat suffers from male sterility (Driessen, 1978). Silicon is a beneficial mineral element for rice growth by maintaining erect leaves (Balasta et al., 1988; Yoshida, Navasero, and Ramirez, 1969); promoting the growth, strong culms and roots, and early..panicle fonnation; increasing the number ofspikelets per panicle and percentage ofmatured grain (De Datta, 1981); decreasing transpiration rate (M~toh, Murata, and Takahashi, 1991); increasing the resistance to fungi, insects, and mites (Ishizuka and Hayakawa; 1951; Yolk, Kahn, and Weintraub, 1958); diminishing the unfavorable action of nitrogen on the resistance to lodging, stem borer, and diseases such as blast (Idris, Hossain, and Chounhury, 1975; Ota, Kobayashi, and Kawaguchi, 1957) and alleviating Mn or Fe toxicity or both (Horiguchi, 1988; Okuda and Takahashi, 1962). The most common material used as a source of Si for rice cultivation in many countries for example Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China is steel slag containing calcium silicate, a by-product formed in the process ofsteel manufacturing (De Datta, 1981; Ma and Takahashi, 1993). AI present, Indonesia produces annually about 350000 tons of steel slag; however, it has not been used yet in agricuiture. Besides has high content ofSi, Indonesian steel slag also contains much Ca, Mg, and Fe as well as relatively high micronutrient (Suwa~o and Goto, 1997a). It is necessary, the!.:..efore, to explore the effects ofthis slag on the growth and yield of wetland rice grown on peat soil. The objectives of this experiment were: (i) to eval,vate effects of steel slag on the chemical properties of peat s0il and (ii) to evaluate effects of steel slag on growth and yield of wetland rice grown on the peat soil. 211
  • 4. MATERIALS AND METHODS Experiment I. Incubation experiment in laboratory using peat soil from Dendang, lambi was carried out to evaluate effect of steel slag on chemical properties ofpeat soil. Peat soil equivalent to 109 oven dry basis was placed in 200 ml '. ofplastic bottle to which steel slag in size less than 2 mm in dosage of0, 2.5,5.0,7.5, and 10 % ofsoil weight, respectively, was added and mixed thoroughly. The bottles were incubated for two months and then the chemical soil properties: pH, exchangeable Ca and Mg, available Si, Fe, Mn, Cu, and, Zn, total N and organic matter content were analyzed. Experiment II. Pot experiment in greenhouse using the same peat soil was conducted to evaluate combination effect of steel slag and three kinds of fertilizer on growth and yield ofwetland rice grown on peat soil. Each pot contained 2 kg oven dry basis ofpeat. soil. Steel slag in size less than 2 mm was applied in three dosage levels: 0.2.5, and 5.0 % of soil weight and combined with three kinds offertilizer: NPK (15-15-15), saprodap (16-20-0), and standard fertilizer (urea, SP-36, and KCI). These fertilizers were applied in dosage of500 ppm N, 500 ppm pps.and 500 Kp. Moreover, all pots were received 5 ppm Cu ofCuS04 .5HP as basal fertilizer. Four plants of twenty one days-old ofIR 64 rice variety were transplanted into all pots. This plant was harvested at maturity. Plant variables measured were numbers ofproductive tiller and panicle; weights of filled, unfilled, and total·spikelets as well as percentage of filled spikelets. To evaluate the effects oftreatment, the data ofsoil chemical properties as well as plant growth and yield variables were analyzed by analysis ofvariance. Furthermore, the means oftreatment were analyzed by w-Tukey Test (Steel and Torrie, 1980). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Effects ofSteel Slag or. Chemical Properties ofPeat Soil As shown in Table I, soil pH, exchangeable Ca and Mg, and available Si were significantly increased after application of steel slag. The values of these variables were increased with increasing the amount of steel slag. On the other hand, organic matter content, total nitrogen, and available Fe and Zn were significantly decreased with application ofsteel slag. The magnitudes of these soil chemical properties were decreased as the amount ofsteel slag was increased. Available Mn was increased after application of steel slag; however, the avaiiability of Mn was decreased as the amount of steel slag was increased frOID 2.5 % to 10 %. In addition, steel slag had no significant effect on available Cu. In peat soil, steel slag reacted with H20 containing CO2: producing base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+) and other cations in additioILto base conjugate (hydroxide, silicate, and carbonate) and other anions, thus increased'concentration ofthese cations and anions in soil solution. The Ca2 +and Mg2+ then replaced for exchangeable acidity (exchangeable Al ~.c.." and H) on adsorption sites. As a result, application ofsteel slag increased exchangeable Ca and Mg as well as-i:ncreased available Si. This result was agreed to that obtained by Suwarno and Goto (l997b) on mineral soil. At the same time, the hydroxide (OH') and silicate (H SiO)') reacted with W , resulting in Hp and H Si0 . 3 4 4 These processes reduced exchangeable H, which in turn increased soil pH value. Consequently, application of steel slag increased pH value ofpeat soil. Increasing pH value of peat soil due to application of soil amendment increased decomposition of organic matter (Andriesse, 1997). During decomposition process, organic matter were attacked by microorganism, resulting in simple products such as carbon dioxide, water, ammonia, ammonium, nitrites, nitrates, elemental nitrogen, sulfides, sulfates, inorganic phosphates, and cations for examples Ca2+, Mg2+, and K+ (Brady, 1990). Increasing rate ofdecomposition increased the amount ofdecomposed organic matter, which in tum increased the amount ofsimple decomposition products. As a result, application of steel slag to peat soil - which increased pH soil pH - reduced organic matter content. Total nitrogen is total of organic and inorganic nitrogen in the soil (Tan, 1996). During decomposition of organic matter, organic nitrogen is mineralized into inorganic nitrogen. Total nitrogen in the soil is constant during decomposition process if there is no release of gaseous nitrogen to the atmosphere. Result of nitrogen total analysis in Table I.

  • 5. Table I indicated that nitrogen total was decreased with application of steel slag. Ratio ofCIN in steel slag treatments of 0,2.5,5,7.5, and 10 % were 107.7, 101.5, 108.9,98.4, and 91.9; respectively. This result indicated that in decomposition oforganic matter there was released gaseous nitrogen to the atmosphere. The amount ofgaseous nitrogen released to the atmosphere was increased with increasing the dosage ofsteel slag. Steel slag applied in this experiment Table 2. Chemical Composition of Steel Slag (Suwamo dan Goto, 1997a) contained total iron 42.6 of Fe20 J ; however, application of this material to peat soil Composition Unit Content significantly decreased availability of iron. % 42.6 Although this steel slag contained very high CaO % 21.6 total iron, result of mineral identification Si~ % 14.6 indicated that most of iron minerals was MgO % 11.6 present as iron oxide mineral - wuestite, % 7.21 magnetite, and di-calsium ferrite (Suwarno and MnO % % 0.37 1.55 Goto, 1997a). According to Lindsay (1979), solubility ofthese minerals was extremely low in the pH range of soils and also affected by i<JO % 0.18 redox potential of soil. Consequently, those % 0.33 minerals did not affect the availability of iron Neutralizing Value % 67.6 in soil applied steel slag. Mineral containing iron in steel slag which could supply iron was apparently only forsterite feroan «Mg,Fe)2Si04) (Suwamo and Goto, 1997a). However, iron released from this mineral was precipitated as iron hydroxide with increasing soil pH after application of steel slag (Foth and Ellis, 1988; Lindsay, 1979). In addition, iron has high affmity to humic substances to form chelates (Tan, 1998). Formation ofthese chelates reduced available iron - amount of iron extracted with 0.05 N Hel - in peat soil. The increase in soil pH might have shifted the equilibrium between soluble Mn2+ arid insoluble Mn02 toward insoluble Mn02 (Adam, 1965), thus reduced available Mn. Moreover, Mn also could form chelates with humic substances (Tan, 1998). Fomation of these chelates reduced the availability ofMn. On the other hand, reaction ofsteel slag in the peat soil also yielded Mn2+ ions, because this material contained 1.55 % ofMn02 (Table 2). ApparentIy,the amount of . Mn2+ produced by steel slag in this experiment was slightly higher than that ofconverted into Mn02 and formed chelates with humic substan~es. As a results, available Mn was increased with application of steel slag; however, the availability of Mn was decreased with increasing the dosage of steel slag. Available Zn significantly decreased with steel slag application, and the availability of Zn was decreased with increasing the dosage of steel slag. Availability of Zn in the soil was decreased with increasing soil pH (Lindsay, 1979). In addition, Zn could form chelates with humic substances resulted from decomposition of organic matter (Tan, 1998). Because application of steel slag increased soil pH and decomposition rate oforganic matter, application ofthis material reduced availability of Zn in peat soil. Table 3.

  • 6. Response ofWetland Rice to Combination ofSteel Slag and NPK, Saprodap, or Standard Fertilizers Growth ofricc plant was very poor without application of steel slag. On treatments ofsteeJ slag 0 % + NPK fertilizer and steel slag 0 % + saprodap fertilizer, rice plant failed to produce panicle. As shown in Table 3, application ofsteel slag on peat soil significantly improved numbers ofproductive tiller and panicle as well as weights of filled and total spikelets. Combination ofsteel slag and NPK fertilizer produced higher numbers ofproductive tiller and panicle than combination of steel slag and saprodap or standard fertilizers. Weights of filled and total spikelets also higher with the former combination. In combination of steel slag and NPK fertilizer, steel slag 2.5 % produced the highest rice yield (weight of filled spikelets). However, in combination ofsteel slag and saprodap or standard fertilizers, the highest yield was achieved at dosage of steel slag 5 %. In general, among those combinations, combination of steel slag 2.5 % and NPK fertilizer produced the highest rice yield. The very poor rice growth on pots untreated steel slag might be associated with the very low soil pH value, the low exchangeable Ca and Mg, and the low available Si as well as the presence of toxic organic acids. At pH value less than 4.0, hydrogen ions had a significant influence on absorption of many inorganic ions (Jackson, 1967), so inhibit the growth ofrice plant. The presence of toxic organic acids in peat soil is also the problem that has to be solved in utilizing ofpeat soil for wetland rice cultivation. The low exchangeable Ca and Mg in this soil also restricted the growth of rice plant, therefore they had to be noticed in wetland rice cultivation on peat soil. According to De Datta (1981), the functions of Ca in rice plant are as: a constituent of cementing material ofplant cells, an important constituent of calcium pectate, which strengthens the cell wall, maintainer ofturgidity ofcell walls, and promoter ofnormal root growth and development. The functions ofMg in rice plant are as: a constituent of chlorophyll molecule, a component of several essential enzymes, and functions similar to Ca. Silicon has various beneficial effects in rice plant such as: promotes the growth, strengthens culms and roots, favors early panicle formation, increases number ofspikelets per panicle and percentage of matured grains, increases the resistance to attack of fungi, insects, and mites, and deminishes the unfavorable action of nitrogen on the resistance of rice to diseases such as blast. Therefore, the low availability ofSi has to be corrected in cultivation of wetland rice on peat soil. Application ofN, P, and Kfertilizers as urea, SP-36, and KCl- called as standard fertilizers - only improve the availability of N, P, and K nutrients; therefore the growth of rice was poor. Application of steel slag to peat soil that increased soil pH, exchangeable Ca and Mg, and available Si as well as reduced toxic organic substauces improved growth and yield ofIR 64 rice variety. These results were agreed to that obtained by Snyder, Jones, and Gascho (1986). However, the increasing yield obtained in this experiment was far higher. In this experiment, interaction effect of steel slag with NPK, saprodap, or standard fertilizers was significance. In combination with NPK fertilizer, steei slag 2.5 % produced higher rice yield than steel slag 5.0 %. On the other hand, in combination with saprodap or standard fertilizers, steel slag 5.0 % produced higher yield. Apparently, it was associated with the ability of the three kinds of fertilizer in supplying N, P, and K nutrients as well as condition resulted from their reactions in peat soil. CONCLUSION Application of steel slag on peat soil significantlyimproved the availability of Si as well as increased soil pH and exchangeable Ca and Mg. On the other hand, it significantly decreased soil organic matter content, total N, and the availability of Fe, Mn, and Zn. Wetland rice grown on peat soil highly responded to steel slag application. The numbers ofproductive tiller and panicle as well as weights of filled and total spikelets were significantly increased with steel slag application. Interaction of steel slag with NPK, saprodap, or standard fertilizers also had significant effect on those rice yield variables. In combination ofsteel slag and NPK fertilizer, steel slag 2.5 % produced the highest rice yield. However, in combination of steel slag and saprodap or standard fertilizers, the highest rice yield was achieved at dosage of steel slag 5.0 %. In general, combination of slag 2.5 % and NPK fertilizer produced the highest rice yield. Increasing the growth and yield of rice after application of steel slag was associated with increasing the availability of Si, soil pH, and exchangeable Ca and Mg as well as reducing toxic organic acids.
