Role of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers on the Performance of Some Medicin...Premier Publishers
Medicinal plants are nutrient demanding plants for normal growth and to produce higher yield. The aim of this review is to assess and indicate the role of plant nutrients both organic and inorganic in some medicinal plants. Inorganic and/or organic fertilizers are needed to meet inadequate soil nutrients and the declining of soil fertility as a result of continuous cultivation. Maintaining soil organic matter concentration above the threshold level is critical for improving soil quality. A careful combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers is widely recognized strategy of integrated nutrient management to sustain agronomic productivity and improve soil fertility. The effects of organic fertilization and combined use of chemical and organic fertilizer on crop growth and soil fertility depend on the application rates and the nature of fertilizers used. Interestingly, applications of organic fertilizers to plants have been reported to increase the presence of bioactive compounds and antioxidants in them. On the other hand, inorganic fertilizers are crucial to increase the yield of medicinal plants like roselle within a short period of time. Most of the research conducted in plant nutrient demand for medicinal plants reported that integrated nutrient management for continuous and sustainable production of medicinal crop is necessary to gain quality products.
Plant need water, air, light, suitable temperature and 17 essential nutrients for growth and development in the right combination. When plant suffers from malnutrition, exhibits symptoms of being unhealthy reliable nutrient recommendations are dependent upon accurate soil tests and crop nutrient calibrations based on extensive field research. An important part of crop production is being able to identify and prevent plant nutrient deficiencies. Optimization of pistachio productivity and quality requires an understanding of the nutrient requirements of the tree, the factors that influence nutrient availability and the methods used to diagnose and correct deficiencies. Several methods for nutritional diagnosis using leaf tissue analysis have been proposed and used, including the critical value (CV), the sufficiency range approach (SRA), and the diagnosis and recommendation integrated system (DRIS). de both soil and tissues analysis. Renewed and intensified efforts are in progress to identify nutrient constraints using latest diagnostic tools and managing them more precisely through intervention of geospatial technologies (GPS, GIS etc.). There have been consistent concerns about the relegated fertilizer use efficiency, warranting further the revision of ongoing practices, and adoption of some alternative strategies. Diagnosis of nutrient constraints and their effective management has, therefore, now shifted in favour of INM.
Nutrient use efficiency (NUE) is a critically important concept in the evaluation of crop production systems. Many agricultural soils of the world are deficient in one or more of the essential nutrients to support healthy and productive plant growth. Efficiency can be defined in many ways and easily increased food production could be achieved by expanding the land area under crops and by increasing yields per unit area through intensive farming. Environmental nutrient use efficiency can be quite different than agronomic or economic efficiency and maximizing efficiency may not always be effective. Worldwide, elemental deficiencies for essential macro and micro nutrients and toxicities by Al, Mn, Fe, S, B, Cu, Mo, Cr, Cl, Na, and Si have been reported.
The document discusses intercropping and integrated nutrient management in pulses. It describes the benefits of intercropping such as reducing pests and weeds, conserving soil moisture, and improving soil fertility. Integrated nutrient management involves using soil nutrients, fertilizers, organic manures, compost, and biofertilizers to maintain soil productivity. Adopting these practices can improve crop yields and nutrient use efficiency while maintaining the health of soils. However, some constraints to their adoption by farmers include lack of organic manures, biofertilizers, and knowledge.
Integrated nutrient management is an approach to optimize soil fertility and plant nutrition by using all possible sources of plant nutrients (organic and inorganic) in a balanced and efficient manner. The goals are to optimize plant production and profitability while conserving resources and improving soil quality. In conventional farming, emphasis was placed on chemical fertilizers and high yields, but this caused nutrient depletion and deterioration of soil health over time. Integrated nutrient management balances nutrient supply from organic sources like farmyard manure with inorganic fertilizers, and synchronizes nutrient availability with crop demand to maintain long-term productivity and soil function.

INM improves soil properties, nutrient availability, and crop yields in a
Determination of nutrient need for yield potentiality of crop plantsPreetam Rathore
Crop nutrient needs cannot be met by soil alone, so external fertilizers are needed to achieve yield potential. Three concepts are used to determine fertilizer recommendations: maintenance, cation saturation ratio, and sufficiency level. Precision tools like GPS, sensors, and variable-rate controllers can help tailor fertilizer applications to site-specific crop needs within fields. Field experiments are conducted to develop response equations relating yield to fertilizer levels and determine economic optimum doses.

Effect of Algal Bio-fertilizer on the Vigna radiata: A Critical ReviewIJERA Editor
The continuous increasing demand of food crops and decrease in productivity due to continuous use of chemical
fertilizer has not only resulted in decline of crop yield, loss of fertility and degradation of soil but has also led us
one step back in achieving sustainable agriculture. The use of algal bio-fertilizer provides an effective, ecofriendly
and non-polluting approach in improving the productivity of crop by both nitrogen fixation and
photosynthesis. Algal bio-fertilizers improve soil structure and increase yield productivity even if applied in a
small area. The application of algal bio-fertilizers in plants has resulted in increase in root, shoot length with
number of leaves and hence overall growth of the plant has been increased. India being one of the largest
producer and consumer of pulses requires abundant amount of pulse production to fulfil the demands of ever
growing populations which can be achieved by using algal bio-fertilizers. This paper briefly underlines the usage
of algal bio-fertilizers as an important tool for sustainability and alternative usage against the chemical
fertilizers.
Indian agriculture feels the pain of fatigue of green revolution.
In the past 50 years, the fertilizer consumption exponentially increased from 0.5 (1960’s) to 24 million tonnes (2013) that commensurate with four-fold increase in food grain output (254 million tonnes) In order to achieve a target of 300 million tonnes of food grains and to feed the burgeoning population of 1.4 billion in 2025, the country will require 45 million tonnes of nutrients as against a current consumption level of 23 million tonnes. The sustainable agriculture and precision farming both are the urgent issues and hence the suitable agro-technological interventions are essential (e.g., nano and biotechnology) for ensuring the safety and sustainability of relevant production system.
Nutrient Use Efficiency: Molecular Mechanism and AdvancesAmandeep Kaur
Nutrient use efficiency is important for sustainable crop production as global crop demand increases. Nutrient use efficiency refers to a plant's ability to acquire and utilize nutrients for growth. It can be improved through agronomic practices, molecular breeding, and biotechnology approaches. Recent research has identified genes and molecular mechanisms involved in nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency. For example, the DEP1 gene regulates rice growth responses to nitrogen by controlling cell division and plays a role in nitrogen metabolism and uptake. While knowledge and tools are available, improving nutrient use efficiency remains complex due to its integration with multiple biological processes.

Organic Farming: An Agricultural Waste Management System for Enhancing Soil P...CrimsonpublishersMCDA
Sustainable agricultural production systems are crucial for meeting the food demand of the ever-increasing human population. However, these systems generate large amount of wastes which is a major environmental challenge when not properly managed. The difficulty and cost-related constraints associated with achieving sustainable food production through effective soil and crop management practices has led to a paradigm shift from inorganic farming to organic farming, where agricultural wastes are incorporated into the production systems. Organic farming applies natural principles for improved quality and quantity of crop produce while maintaining and/or improving soil health. This paper explores some ways in which agricultural wastes are used and their impacts on soil properties and crop yield in organic farming systems.

90. Nutrient Management Under Organic Farming.pdfFaisal Rasool
Introduction:
Plant root system is always in close association with multitude of microorganisms and other nutrients. The microbes in root zone are maintained due to a variety of secretions from the roots and constitute what is often described as ‘rhizosphere’. These microbes in their turn supply nutrients to the soil system through their heterotrophic activity. Maintenance of these microbes in the rhizosphere, therefore, is also necessary for soil health. Crop productivity and nutrient cycles, however, are integral parts of the exploitation of soil health and have led to soil degradation through nutrient depletion and erosion, so that long term strategies are needed to avoid the use of chemical fertilizers without adversely affecting crop productivity. The use of organic manures, composts, Biofertilizers has received increased attention in our cropping systems. Following are the components in nutrient management system.

Growth and yield performance of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) using ver...Open Access Research Paper
The study was conducted to look into the efficacy of vermicast as soil amendments on the growth and yield performance of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum L.). It aimed to determine vermicast’s effect on the fruit quality of tomato and to determine which among the treatments gives significant results. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five (5) treatments replicated three (3) times. Treatment effectiveness was based on plant height, number of flowering days, weight yield per hectare, ROI, physico-chemical of tomato and NPK soil content. Results revealed that 10 bags of vermicast per hectare in combination with inorganic fertilizer (90-0-0Kg N ha1) was a good soil amendment or nutrient source because it improved soil quality, fruit quality, and physic-chemical properties of tomato, thus, producing better yield and cost return.
Organic agriculture is a practice that does not use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators or GMOs. It promotes biodiversity and the health of soil, plants, animals and people. Nutrient management in organic farming relies on practices like crop rotation, cover cropping, adding compost or manure, green manures, crop residues, and approved amendments to optimize soil health and nutrient supply. Maintaining soil organic matter and biological activity through these practices is the foundation of organic agriculture.

What are the Organic Fertilizers Used in AgricultureShivaniPadole
Natural fertilizers derived from animals and plants are known as organic fertilizers. Carbonic compounds, which are necessary for plant growth, are added to the soil as a result. Organic fertilizers alter the physical and chemical properties of the soil, encourage microorganism reproduction, and raise the amount of organic matter in the soil. It is viewed as one of the primary supplements for green food. These pesticides can be induced genetically in plants through genetic engineering or can be found naturally in microorganisms. Soil contamination and pollution from a variety of chemicals, like fluoroacetamide, can be avoided by using Biopesticides. Additionally, they are less likely to irritate animal and human skin.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

I. INTRODUCTION
The issue today is how to create a pattern of management that can improve soil fertility, agro-
ecosystem conditions and quality of production. The emphasis on organic farming systems is to provide
feedback that can be renewed and reduced environmentally damaging inputs. The addition of organic fertilizers
and soil microorganisms utilize are proven to improve fertility and quality of tubers which is formed larger [1].
Cropping pattern of organic farming system focused on cropping, adding organic matter into the soil to improve
agro-ecosystem was stressed conventional monoculture systems with the use of chemical fertilizer and pesticide
intensive [2]. Modern application of agricultural development (Green Revolution) is supported with high
external inputs (High External Input Agriculture-HEIA), now it reveals a serious negative impact on agricultural
land. Giving a lot of chemical fertilizers on potato detriment real enough where N and P are much washed and
participated to farmland run off that contribute to water pollution [3]. In Java, it has happened a shrinkage of soil
organic matter content and in some places. There is a critical status of agricultural land [4]. According to [5],
that about 60% of the area of rice fields in Java, organic matter content <1%. Cropping pattern that must be
developed is by intercropping or multiple cropping pattern. According to [6], the best farm management with
multiple cropping pattern or integrated land use of the plant with a monoculture system, if it is done regularly,
can improve the content of C and N, thus increase productivity.
The increase of agricultural production can change the thinking of farmers in a organic farming to
switch to modern agriculture. In fact, modern agriculture can lead to the exploitation of land resources and less
concerned with the long-term interests. The increase of the use of chemical pesticides gives negative impact on
the plants and the environment [7,8]. The emergence of agro-ecosystem degradation problems are complex and
intertwined, and even have an impact on the state of soil fertility. Extinction and marine of microorganisms in

the soil, such as earthworms, will reduce soil fertility. Earthworms play a crucial role in the carbon cycle, the
formation of soil aggregates, helping decomposition of cellulose and the formation of humus accumulation. their
roles are is helpful to the improvement of the structure and land texture as well as activities of soil organisms.
Earthworms are very active in the overhaul and their own life use organic waste which requires only very little
food. The most remaining waste of which are still half described other organisms will be used until it becomes
available for plant nutrients. Earthworms have advantages in the body contains many microorganisms, enzymes
and hormones that can accelerate mineralization worms transform waste into useful fertilizer in plants [9,10].
An understanding of the status of the land should be regarded as a living thing, so that the land can be
considered thin and sick should be healthy back. Restructuring can be done by giving the soil organic matter or
incorporate biomass into the soil. Compost fertilizer will help to supply nitrogen in the soil, although the
numbers are relatively small compared to chemical fertilizers. Mineralization process depends on the ability of
bacterial decomposers in the decomposition [11].
The decomposition process runs naturally that will be providing the nutrients available to the plant
(feeding the soil that feeds the plant). Returning the natural function of land with manure inputs cows, goats,
chicken, green manure and compost is very beneficial for the growth and production of plants because it
contains macro and micro nutrients [1]. At this time the farmers prefer to undertake instant or fast-paced culture
in addressing issues such as agriculture using chemical fertilizers and pesticides [12]. Optimization of local
natural resources as a natural change agent should be empowered to be able to accelerate the improvement of
land that tends to settle damages. Vermicompost can be utilized environmental improvements which cost simple
fabrication process is relatively mild and do not cause pollution. Utilization of earthworms in the location will
be utilized by existing organic waste into vermicompost for as a source of biological fertilizers in improving
repair physical, chemical and biological soil [13].
Land management with the Local Potential Intensification System (SIPLO) is an attempt to bridge the
gap that occurs in the system impact of organic farming and conventional farming systems, where the two
systems are the advantages and disadvantages. Implementation SIPLO potato land management based on the
principles of ecological health of soil and plants also improve the capacity of land resources. SIPLO
operationally focused on environmentally friendly land management and use of all local potential.
Improvements to governance cultivation technique of air, water, soil nutrients and energy to consider aspects of
environmental health. One of the local potential can be used earthworms which are able to make the air space in
the soil, increase water absorption capacity, root development easier, thus accelerating soil enrichment agro-
ecosystem better [14,15,16]. Life on agro-ecosystem there are a number of interrelated activities between biotic
and abiotic components. It is as stated [17] that is able to produce vermicomposting earthworms are very useful
in eco-friendly land management and can suppress plant disease. These activities may include the biochemical,
chemical, physical or biological resulting in a food chain or energy for living organisms. The contribution of
these activities on the environment can improve soil fertility. Restoration of land productivity is mostly done by
soil microorganisms, insects and worms that can remodel in a rapid state of physical, chemical and biological
more conducive [16].
Managing agricultural land Noteworthy aspects of renewal and repair, so that all the components can
function normally form chains balanced life. Many soil microorganisms that can give each other in the chain of
life in the ecosystem. The bacteria grow best if the soil can not suffer contamination of farm land, so that it can
function optimally as Bacillus, Pseudomonas and Streptomyces is a productive bioreactor in secondary
metabolic remodel and could act as natural enemies of mushroom or bacterial pathogens [18]. As the presence
of mycorrhizal symbiosis has the ability to crop plants such as potatoes which Arbuscular mycorrhiza infects
plant roots and make hyphae in the epidermal cells are also the root cortex. Outer hyphae can absorb more
nutrients so the larger root surface can help absorption of nutrients needed by plants cultivation [19].
According to [20] farming methods should routinely include biomass or organic fertilizer into the soil
and conserve soil, reducing erosion and increasing land productivity improved. The organic matter content of N
rated quality when many, then low concentrations of lignin and polyphenols and has an accuracy right natural
decomposition process plants need. According to [21] the quality of the organic material to supply nitrogen
rated critical if concentrations of 1.9% nitrogen; lignin> 15% and polyphenols> 2%. Quality materials related to
the supply of organic phosphorus is determined by the concentration of P in organic materials. Critical value of
P is 0.25% levels. The state of a lot of land shortage C and N in large quantities and the availability is low, this
is due to high mobility in soil is high. Conditions and the amount of organic matter in soils is positively
correlated to the availability of nutrients N. Land of nitrogen fixation can be obtained free air as the plants
leguminosae rhizobium symbiosis with bacteria.

The addition of organic origin Leguminoceae family is able to produce nutrient N for 20-45% of the
total amount of nitrogen content [22] during one growing season. Only 30% of which can be utilized by plants,
many limited factors that nitrogen is not utilized because when plants need nitrogen is not available enough.
Synchronization level is influenced by the speed of decomposition of organic matter. Speed decaying organic
matter is determined by factors micro climate the relative humidity, the temperature in the soil organic matter
quality. The quality of organic matter is characterized when the N content> 2.5%, is high quality, if lignin
content of <15%, polyphenol <4%, then it can tillage [21].
II. RESEARCH METHODS
The study was conducted in the Batu city, as the respondents are farmers who have the experience and
the cast of experts in the management of organic potato farms. Data is collected by survey methods, sampling
methods approach "stratified cluster sampling". Data analysis (1). Strategic Analysis (SWOT) analysis and
IFAS, EFAS is to evaluate the strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that may be in achieving a goal. It
is necessary for the analysis of internal and external aspects of the environment. (2). Analitycal Hierarchy
Process (AHP), [23] states that for the prioritization criteria and sub-criteria for distribution of questionnaires is
conducted to review the models that have been developed previously. The determination can be carried out by
the method of pairwise comparison in the AHP. From that method it can be determined from the analysis of the
hierarchy of criteria and sub-criteria SIPLO in organic potato sustainable land management. According [24], to
examine the relationship Swot analysis then assessed the relationship of vision, mission and values that most
affect the implementation SIPLO potato sustainable land management to determine the policy decision-making
strategies.
III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The results of pairwise comparison analysis determined the criteria of importance SIPLO priority in
land management based on sustainable organic potatoes are considered the most important factor

The results of the analysis indicate SIPLO management with an average weight of 0.256, which
indicate that land management is a top priority potatoes SIPLO application, organic fertilizer 0.236 and
improved agro-ecosystem 0.224 compared to the criteria in land productivity and soil. Local potential in the
management and treatment plants play an important role, and this is all a series of processes can not be
separated from the surrounding natural factors, so the local potential biotic and abiotic organic potato farms
need to be repaired. According to [25,26,27], the local potential in the form of food waste, biomass crops,
manure and other organic wastes have a high humus content in vermicompost. Organic material containing
humic acid, fulvic humus or minerals available to plants and can help plants to cope with environmental stress
and stimulate growth [28]. Low levels of soil organic matter and microbial activity less often the root cause of
disease susceptibility of plants [29], the addition of organic fertilizers proved effective in suppressing plant
diseases [30,31,32]. Soil organic matter stimulates the population of bacteria and fungi nematode antagonists
(Trichoderma, Pseudomonas, Pasteuria and chitinolytic bacteria) are also natural enemies of nematode groups
that nematophagous mites, Hypoaspis calcuttaensis, Collembola and arthropods where choosing foods of plant
parasitic nematodes type [33] and Fusarium [34,35]. Vermicompost stimulate microbial diversity and the
antagonistic activity of bacteria, so that they can be effective biocontrol agents in reducing phytopathogenic
fungal disease [36,37,38] .
Implementation SIPLO the most important potato farms did induction during the production value of
the weights 0.275, shows the value of the weight of water 0.230. The process of induction on potato farms will
help the process of releasing the anode and the cations in the soil, making it available to plants. Two polar
electrodes (anode and cathode) were grown in soil electrified will happen electrolysis are Anode: 2H2O–4e-
O2+ 4H+
and Cathode: 2H2O+2e-

and OH-
to the anode pole (electromigration) and soil pore water displacement from the area around the
anode to the cathode (electroosmosis). Transfer of soil pore water has a major impact in increasing the carrying
capacity of the land around the poles anode [39]. In an effort to increase production can be done using the
superior weight of 0.173. Plants that have the genetic trait superior production will be able to provide high
yields. Land management and maintenance of the plant to be sustainable in the control of pests and plant
diseases should capitalize on the value of the weights 0.095 biopesticide plants, including weed control should
be done manually 0.082, granting fewer chemical fertilizers 0.080 and sanitary land 0.065. Optimization of the
local potential by [40] sustainable land management should be developed first cornerstone of ecological
principles, namely: (1). Restoring the function of resources, (2). Conserve resources with a healthy environment,
(3). Prevent damage of agro-ecosystem. Second runway cultivation techniques: (1). Organic fertilizer, (2).
Increased root growth by plant spacing, (3) Seed potatoes are planted should have a superior nature, healthy,
pest and disease resistance, (4) Water taste is not excessive, (5) Improve soil aeration intensive system, (6)
maintain the biological balance of the soil with sanitation systems, and (7) Increase the potential use of local
resources optimally. Management in controlling plant pests and diseases do with utilization biological agents
that do not damage the environment. Earthworm activity increases the number of Gram-negative bacteria
[41,42]. Casting Chitinolytic bacteria associated with the group are: oleivorans Nocardioides, Streptomyces,
Staphylococcus epidermidis has the ability to suppress disease phytopathogens Rhizoctonia solani,
Colletotrichum coccodes, Pythium ultimum, P. capsici and Fusarium moniliforme [43]. The addition of low
doses of chemical fertilizers do, it is because the land is degraded, so that the production of potato plants can
produce, it is necessary to stimulate chemical fertilizers gradually reduced the dose, if the land is back to
normal. According to [44], in the treatment plants should be combined NPK fertilizer and organic fertilizer to
get the additional benefit of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.
Table 2. Implementation of Organic Fertilizer in SIPLO sustainable management of organic potato farms

Maturity of organic fertilizers 0.158
Types of organic fertilizer 0.288
Microorganisms decomposing organic fertilizer 0.232
Dosis Organic fertilizer 0.035
Availability of raw materials of organic fertilizer 0.095
Composting techniques 0.077
The analysis shows that the implementation of organic fertilizer to the soil the most important type of
fertilizer given weights 0.288, because it affects the growth, yield and improved agro-ecosystems and improving
land productivity. Vermicompost contains compounds that grow enough cytokinin, gibberellin and auxin [10].
Testing vermiwash and urea solution on seed germination, root and shoot length proved vermiwash substance
containing hormones to grow [45]. Livestock waste vermicompost aqueous extract showed a significant amount
of indole-acetic-acid (IAA), gibberellins and cytokinins [46]. Nutrient availability in the soil depends on the
type of organic fertilizer and can replace the need for chemical fertilizers to meet crop nutrient requirements
[11,47]. The role of bacteria decomposing organic fertilizer is very strategic in determining nutrient availability
for plants with 0.232 weights. This is due to the activity of microorganisms can be a limiting factor in nutrient
availability in the soil. The use of microorganisms in bokashi fertilizer can speed up the fermentation process
and mineralization are useful for improving crop production [48]. Maturity of organic fertilizer while deployed
to great effect on the availability of soil nutrients for plants. Organic fertilizer can reduce erosion, improve water
retention for plant growth, nutrient retention through increased charge an ion and cations in soil, improve soil
corrected capacity, supplying energy for soil organisms, and increase saprophyte organisms and suppress plant
parasitic organisms [49]. The results [50], granting the application of organic fertilizer and irrigation on rainfed
lands and irrigated lands, greatly affect the increased production and the cost of potato cultivation. SIPLO
techniques can help speed up the release of ions and cations, so that when applied to the induction of the
availability of soil organic matter will be accelerated to the plant. However, the state of the reality in the field of
raw materials for making organic fertilizer in areas where land is still relatively less potatoes, which can affect
the availability of fertilizer needed by farmers.

the competent authorities have the value of linkage 12. Policy decision-making strategy is aggressive. The effect
resulting from the factors of success in a value of 2.14. This is due to SIPLO can help optimize the availability
of nutrients in soil value of 0.31, the electrodes in the soil can increase the release of an ion and cation value of
0.28, technically does not cause pollution of soil, water, air and crops with a value of 0.26, this technique can
help controlling pests and diseases of electrically value of 0.17, the plant becomes more rigid views 0.16 value,
can neutralize chemical residues in soil and water that will enter the 0.16 value crops, and production can be
increased value of 0.15. The process of induction on potato farms will help the process of releasing the anode
and the cations in the soil, the movement of H+
to the poles of the cathode and OH-
to pole anode and water
displacement pore soil around the anode lead to cathode and a big influence on increasing the carrying capacity
of the land [39]. Local potential beneficiaries ie worm waste fertilizer can increase physical activity, chemical
and biological soil fertility and quickly so the productivity improved land pollution and also useful for
controlling pests and diseases [16,17].
The influence of environmental factors in determining success in the management of organic potato
field with a value of 3.22. This situation is due to the technical improvement of cultivation SIPLO is the value of
0.50, the technique can increase the productivity of the land value of 0.47, the production is safe for
consumption value of 0.47, it should be able to reduce the cost of the production value of 0.46, to reduce the
pollution of water, air, soil, and the results are consumed the value of 0.45, technically SIPLO environmentally
friendly values 0.35, can increase the availability of compost in quick time value of 0.34, and was able to
improve agro-ecosystem value 0.30. According to [14,15], that land management can be done with improved
cultivation techniques through the governance of air, water, soil nutrients and energy to the consideration of
aspects of environmental health. Utilization of local potential by increasing the population of microorganisms
through the role of earthworms could increase airspace, enhance capacity and water absorption, facilitate the
development of plant roots, soil enrichment and improvement accelerates agro-ecosystem [16]. The addition of
organic fertilizer in rainfed and irrigated agroecosystems showed improvement cycle where biological activity,
and increased physical and chemical linkages biotic and abiotic components affect the increase of production
and the cost of potato cultivation [50].
IV. CONCLUSION
The strategy of sustainable land management and increased land productivity, also improved agro-
ecosystem include to: (1). Implementation SIPLO on organic potato land. (2). In engineering applications
SIPLO the time of induction of land must be in wet or flooded. (3). At the time of land preparation should be
given an appropriate organic fertilizer type, maturity and recommended doses of fertilizer, (4). Organic fertilizer
should be given to speed up the process of bacterial decomposition of soil organic matter mineralization.
