Population growth, which grew rapidly from year to year has implications for the needs of foodstuffs also increased. On the other hand, the conversion of productive land into non-agricultural land such as residential, urban and infrastructure development and other needs that can not be avoided. This prompted the government to look for potential land that has not been used optimally. One attempt to solve the problem is with the expansion of planting areas and new paddy fields coming from opening new land. The opening of new land or new paddy fields meant is open lands derived from secondary forest land by way of reclaiming land, making levees, floodgates, grammar channels and rice fields. Therefore, this area contained in the tidal marsh land dominated by acid sulfate soil, the land is classified into marginal land or problematic. In general, the problem of acid sulphate soils for agriculture are: the availability of macro and micro nutrients low to very low, acid soil pH to very acidic, many toxic compounds, nutrients are in a bound state, the existence of a shallow layer of pyrite and land drainage impeded. Based on these conditions, only rice plants that can be grown on the land, but production is still very low, averaging 1.5 tonnes / hectare. Efforts to increase the productivity of acid sulphate soils, liming and fertilization is required. After the treatment is given, also required plant tissue analysis to determine the potential uptake of some varieties of rice. The results showed that soil type Histic sulfaquents with moderate fertility levels and the toughest obstacles exist in the presence of a shallow layer of pyrite and toxic compounds.

Effect of Lime and Phosphorus Fertilizer on Acid Soil Properties and Sorghum ...Premier Publishers
Acidic soils limit the production potential of sorghum crop because of low availability of basic cations and excess of hydrogen (H+) and aluminium (Al3+) in exchangeable forms at Assosa. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the response of acid soil properties and sorghum to lime and Phosphorus fertilizer around Assosa area during 2012-2015 cropping seasons. Five levels of lime (0, 1.88, 3.76, 5.64 and 7.52 t ha-1) and four levels of P (0, 23, 46 and 69 kg ha-1) laid out in randomised complete block design with three replications.Analysis of variance revealed that the interaction effect of lime and phosphorus fertilizer significantly (P≤0.05) affected head weight, straw and grain yield of sorghum. The highest grain yield of sorghum was obtained from 5.65 t lime ha-1with application of 23, 46 and 69 kg P2O5 ha-1 and 7.54 t lime ha-1with application of 0, 23 and 46 kg P2O5 ha-1 treatments. The partial budget analysis also indicted that 1.88 t lime ha-1 along with 23 kg P2O5 ha-1 gives higher net benefits. Therefore, the management of P- deficient acid soils of Assosa area requires combined applications 1.88 t lime ha-1with application of 23 kg P2O5 ha-1.
Effect of different phosphorus levels on growth and yield of wheat under wate...Alexander Decker
This study evaluated the effects of different phosphorus levels (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 kg/ha) and water stress levels (well-irrigated, stress at reproductive stage, stress at vegetative and reproductive stages) on the growth and yield of wheat. Higher phosphorus application with optimum irrigation resulted in better growth. Higher phosphorus helped compensate for the negative effects of water stress. Stress at both vegetative and reproductive stages had a more severe impact than stress only at reproductive stage. Lower phosphorus and water stress led to reductions in plant height, tillers, spike length, grains per spike, 1000 grain weight, grain yield, and straw yield. Applying 120 kg/ha of phosphorus produced the best

A field experiment was conducted at Adami Tullu Agricultural Research Center in 2018 under rainfed condition with supplementary irrigation to determine the influence of harvest stage on vine yield and tuberous root yield of orange fleshed sweet potato varieties. The experiment consisted of four harvest stages (105, 120, 135 and 150 days after planting) and Kulfo, Tulla and Guntute varieties. A 4 X 3 factorial experiment arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications was used. Interaction of harvest stage and variety significantly influenced above ground fresh biomass, vine length, marketable tuberous root weight per hectare, commercial harvest index and harvest index. The highest mean values of above ground fresh biomass (66.12 t/ha) and marketable tuberous root weight (56.39 t/ha) were produced by Guntute variety harvested at 135 days after planting. Based on the results, it can be recommended that, farmers of the study area can grow Guntute variety by harvesting at 135 days after planting to obtain optimum vine and tuberous root yields.
Maize (Zea mays L.) and wheat [Triticum aestivum (L.) emend. Fiori & Paol] is the third and second most important cereal crop of India, respectively. Maize–wheat system is the third dominant cropping system of India covering 1.8 mha with 2.3% contribution in food grain production (Jat et al., 2013).
Interactions between nutrients in plants occur when the supply of one nutrient affects the absorption, distribution and functions of another nutrient. Generally P and Zn interact negatively, which depends upon a number of physico-chemical properties of soil. Antagonistic P×Zn interaction has been subject of intensive research in several countries and has been thoroughly reviewed. Although some positive interactions of P and Zn are also reported (Shivay, 2013).
The maximum available P and Zn content in the soil was recorded with super-optimal dose (150% NPK) and optimal dose (100% NPK) along with Zn, respectively (Verma et al., 2012). Zinc and P application has antagonistic effect on each other with respect to their concentration and absorption by wheat and maize (Verma and Minhas, 1987). The three Bacillus aryabhattai strains (MDSR7, MDSR11 and MDSR14) were consistent in enhancement of root and shoot dry weight and zinc uptake in wheat (Ramesh et al., 2014).
Management of P×Zn interaction is a challenging task in the era of sustainable food and nutritional security. Use of efficient varieties and application of inorganic P and Zn fertilizer in conjunction with bio-inoculants can increase the crop yield and efficiency of added fertilizers to save precious input.

Urea-supergranules and phosphorus application increases irrigated rice yields...INNS PUBNET
Nitrogen and phosphorus deficiencies are some of the main factors restricting irrigated rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity in Burkina Faso. Urea supergranules (USG) have been proven to increase rice yield but this increased productivity is likely to be constrained because P is becoming limiting in irrigated rice systems. Field experiments were carried out with rice variety Nerica 62N in Sourou valley in the wet season of 2012 and in the dry season of 2013. The effect of two sizes (1.8 and 2.7 g) of USG and five levels of phosphorus (0, 20, 30, 40 and 50 kg P ha-1) were studied in a split plot design on rice yields. The use of USG 2.7 g did not significantly increase rice yields compare with USG 1.8 g in both seasons. P application significantly increased rice yields. The 1.8 g USG significantly increased the agronomic efficiency (AE) by 48.9% over the USG 2.7 g in the 2012 wet season while the increase in AE was 24.4% in the 2013 dry season. The best AE 42 kg kg-1 in 2012 and 25 kg kg-1 in 2013 were obtained with 50P and 30P. This study suggests that USG can be used by farmers in small rate (USG 1.8 g) to improve nitrogen use efficiency and the application of 30 kg P kg-1 seems to be adequate to increase yield in irrigated rice cropping system.

This study assessed the uptake and distribution of fluoride in maize and beans grown in fluoride contaminated soils, (Ngarenanyuki) around Mount Meru in Northern Tanzania during the rainy season. The study revealed that fluoride uptake increases with increasing fluoride concentration in soils except in a stem and root part of maize and beans respectively. It was observed that fluoride accumulation followed the order of soil >roots > leaves >stem >grain > cob for maize, while the order soil> root> grain> stem was observed for the beans. when the soil contained 116.93ppm of fluoride, the corresponding plants harvested had the mean fluoride accumulation (ppm dry weight) in root, leaves, stem, grain, and cob of maize of 38.560, 24.251, 10.629, 7.7756 and 2.100 respectively, while the soil with 129.2ppm mean fluoride concentration, the accumulation in root, grain, and stem of beans were 16.27, 11.328 and 8.459 respectively. It was reported that beans plant had a higher efficiency in fluoride uptake to bean grain than maize plant. Maize and bean grain collected from Ngarenanyuki contains higher fluoride levels than other fluoride endemic areas. It was also reported that fluoride in the soil samples has a strongly positive correlation with sodium (p-0.000). This suggests that there is a high possibility of fluoride to be present in the form of NaF. Significant accumulation of fluoride in both bean and maize were observed in this study at p≤ 0.05.

Reaction of Elite Faba Bean Genotypes for Soil Acidity StressAI Publications
Soil acidity is one of the major abiotic stresses in Ethiopian highland agriculture that limits crop production in general and a prime factor of faba bean production in particular. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of soil acidity stress on grain yield of 50 faba bean genotypes of which 22 were released varieties. The experiment was comprised two stress levels (lime treated and untreated) arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. The analysis of variance for both potential yield (YP) and stress yield (YS) indicated significant differences among fifty genotypes. Also, significant differences were observed among faba bean genotypes regarding seven soil acidity stress indices. Based on the YP, the genotypes Moti, CS20DK, EKLS/CSR02010-4-3, Cool-0024 and EH07023-3, had the highest yield under non-stressed condition, while the genotypes CS20DK, Obse, Wolki, Didi’a and Dosha displayed the highest yield under stressed condition. In terms of grain yield (g/5plants) CS20DK was ranked 2nd and 1st with 113.24g and 79.56g under non-stressed and stressed, respectively. However, based on the overall performances of multiple stress indices (YI, STI, MP, GMP, HM, SSI and RYR) Wolki, Dosha and Obse were confirmed as soil acidity stress tolerant genotypes whereas Wayu was identified as the most sensitive genotype. The STI, MP, GMP and HM indices exhibited strong correlation with YP, while YI showed strong correlation with YS indicating YS can discriminate soil acidity tolerant genotypes with high grain yield under stress conditions. Hence, use of multiple stress indices confirms the performance consistency of the genotypes considered for the stress.
1. The document discusses nutrient use efficiency and factors that affect it, such as leaching, gaseous losses, immobilization, and chemical reactions between fertilizer components.
2. It describes methods of increasing fertilizer use efficiency, including applying fertilizers at the right time and quantity, and using the proper fertilizer source and form for different crops to minimize fixation and maximize availability.
3. Integrated nutrient management is defined as maintaining soil fertility and nutrient supply through optimizing organic, inorganic, and biological components to provide balanced nutrition for crops while sustaining soil quality.
Nitrogen use efficiency is often low for crops, ranging from 30-50% due to nitrogen losses through mechanisms like ammonia volatilization, nitrate leaching, and denitrification. Methods to improve nitrogen use efficiency include proper fertilizer, soil, and crop management practices as well as modifying fertilizers. Slow release fertilizers, urease inhibitors, and nitrification inhibitors can be used to coat or add chemicals to fertilizers to reduce nitrogen losses and allow for more efficient nitrogen uptake by crops.
slow release fertilizer in crop productionirfan mohammad
Slow release chemical fertilizers release nutrients at a gradual rate that matches plant uptake, improving fertilizer use efficiency. They include fertilizers coated with polymers, resins or sulfur to delay solubility. Others contain organic compounds of nitrogen that break down slowly. Coatings and compounds can prolong nutrient release from weeks to months. Research shows slow release fertilizers reduce losses from leaching and gas emissions, requiring less frequent application than soluble fertilizers.
The document compares fertilizers and manure. It states that fertilizers contain nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus that are added to plants to maximize crop yields and health. However, fertilizers can have harmful environmental effects if overused. Manure is organic matter from animal feces that is also used as organic fertilizer. While manure provides beneficial nutrients, its overuse risks contaminating surface water and groundwater. The document recommends using manure as compost to fertilize plants and avoid burning them.

rainfed paddy soils derived from lacustrine and (2) evaluate rainfed paddy soils potency for paddy and corn in Paguyaman. Soil samples were taken from three profiles according to toposequent, and they were analyzed in laboratory. Data were analyzed with descriptive-quantitative analysis. Furthermore, assessment on rainfed paddy soils potency was conducted with land suitability analysis using parametric approach. Results indicate that all pedon had evolved with B horizons structurization. However, pedon located on the summit slope was more developed and intensely weathered than those of the shoulder and foot slopes.The main pedogenesis in all pedons were through
elluviation, illuviation, lessivage, pedoturbation, and gleization processes. The main factors of pedogenesis were climate, age (time) and topography factors. Therefore, P1 pedons are classified as Ustic Endoaquerts, fine, smectitic,
isohypertermic; P2 as Vertic Endoaquepts, fine, smectitic, isohypertermic; and P3 as Vertic Epiaquepts, fine, smectitic,

The research was aimed to study effect application of sea sand (SS), coconut coir (CC) and banana coir (BC) on the growth and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) planted at Ustic Endoaquert soil. The pot experiment was carried out using a factorial design with 3 factors. The first factor was SS consisted of three levels i.e.: 0%, 25%, and 50%. The second and third factors were CC and BC, each consisted of three levels i.e.: 0, 10, and 20 Mg ha-1. Application of SS and BC significantly increased leaf length where the highest increasing percentage was 16.47% which was achieved at 25% SS application. Their effect on leaf numbers and tiller numbers were relatively not similar pattern where leaf number only increased about 65.52% by BC application, while tiller numbers only increased about 10.77% by SS application. Furthermore, the application of CC and BC significantly increased panicle numbers to 29.53% and 29.05%, respectively compared to control. All ameliorants significantly increased panicle numbers, but the best was CC with the increasing up to 46.49% at 20 Mg ha-1 CC compared to SS or BC application. However, only coconut coir significantly increased the rice grain numbers.
Distribution of fluoride in beans and maize grown along the slope of Mount Me...Innspub Net
This study assessed the uptake and distribution of fluoride in maize and beans grown in fluoride contaminated soils, (Ngarenanyuki) around Mount Meru in Northern Tanzania during the rainy season. The study revealed that fluoride uptake increases with increasing fluoride concentration in soils except in a stem and root part of maize and beans respectively. It was observed that fluoride accumulation followed the order of soil >roots > leaves >stem >grain > cob for maize, while the order soil> root> grain> stem was observed for the beans. when the soil contained 116.93ppm of fluoride, the corresponding plants harvested had the mean fluoride accumulation (ppm dry weight) in root, leaves, stem, grain, and cob of maize of 38.560, 24.251, 10.629, 7.7756 and 2.100 respectively, while the soil with 129.2ppm mean fluoride concentration, the accumulation in root, grain, and stem of beans were 16.27, 11.328 and 8.459 respectively. It was reported that beans plant had a higher efficiency in fluoride uptake to bean grain than maize plant. Maize and bean grain collected from Ngarenanyuki contains higher fluoride levels than other fluoride endemic areas. It was also reported that fluoride in the soil samples has a strongly positive correlation with sodium (p-0.000). This suggests that there is a high possibility of fluoride to be present in the form of NaF. Significant accumulation of fluoride in both bean and maize were observed in this study at p≤ 0.05.

Physiological Role of Humic Acid, Amino Acids and Nitrogen Fertilizer on Grow...IJEAB
In order to evaluate productivity of some wheat cultivars grown in sandy, saline soil under foliar spraying with humic acid, amino acids and nitrogen fertilizer levels. Highest chlorophyll b and carotenoid content, percentage of sodium and calcium, tallest plants and higher number of tillers/plant were achieved from Gemiza 9 cultivar. The highest relative growth rate (RGR) and net assimilation rate (NAR), chlorophyll and total chlorophyll values, higher flag leaf area and stem diameter were resulted from Giza 168 cultivar. While, higher percentages of proline, total phenols and potassium percentages were found from Shaka 93 cultivar. The earlier for a number of days to heading and flowering were resulted from Shaka 93 cultivar. Application of humic and amino acid mixture significantly enhanced total leaf area/plant, plant dry weight after 75 and 95 days from sowing (DFS), RGR, NAR, photosynthetic pigments, i.e. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids and proline contents. In addition, highest total phenols, potassium and calcium percentages, height flag leaf area, tallest plants, highest stem diameter and number of tillers/plant compared with other foliar spraying treatments. Accordingly, it could be recommended that foliar spraying wheat plants Giza 168 cultivar with the mixture of humic acid and Amino acids with addition, mineral fertilizing with 262 kg N/ha to obtain the best growth characters of wheat under newly reclaimed sandy saline soil conditions.

Reaction of Elite Faba Bean Genotypes for Soil Acidity StressAI Publications
Soil acidity is one of the major abiotic stresses in Ethiopian highland agriculture that limits crop production in general and a prime factor of faba bean production in particular. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of soil acidity stress on grain yield of 50 faba bean genotypes of which 22 were released varieties. The experiment was comprised two stress levels (lime treated and untreated) arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. The analysis of variance for both potential yield (YP) and stress yield (YS) indicated significant differences among fifty genotypes. Also, significant differences were observed among faba bean genotypes regarding seven soil acidity stress indices. Based on the YP, the genotypes Moti, CS20DK, EKLS/CSR02010-4-3, Cool-0024 and EH07023-3, had the highest yield under non-stressed condition, while the genotypes CS20DK, Obse, Wolki, Didi’a and Dosha displayed the highest yield under stressed condition. In terms of grain yield (g/5plants) CS20DK was ranked 2nd and 1st with 113.24g and 79.56g under non-stressed and stressed, respectively. However, based on the overall performances of multiple stress indices (YI, STI, MP, GMP, HM, SSI and RYR) Wolki, Dosha and Obse were confirmed as soil acidity stress tolerant genotypes whereas Wayu was identified as the most sensitive genotype. The STI, MP, GMP and HM indices exhibited strong correlation with YP, while YI showed strong correlation with YS indicating YS can discriminate soil acidity tolerant genotypes with high grain yield under stress conditions. Hence, use of multiple stress indices confirms the performance consistency of the genotypes considered for the stress.
1. The document discusses nutrient use efficiency and factors that affect it, such as leaching, gaseous losses, immobilization, and chemical reactions between fertilizer components.
2. It describes methods of increasing fertilizer use efficiency, including applying fertilizers at the right time and quantity, and using the proper fertilizer source and form for different crops to minimize fixation and maximize availability.
3. Integrated nutrient management is defined as maintaining soil fertility and nutrient supply through optimizing organic, inorganic, and biological components to provide balanced nutrition for crops while sustaining soil quality.
Nitrogen use efficiency is often low for crops, ranging from 30-50% due to nitrogen losses through mechanisms like ammonia volatilization, nitrate leaching, and denitrification. Methods to improve nitrogen use efficiency include proper fertilizer, soil, and crop management practices as well as modifying fertilizers. Slow release fertilizers, urease inhibitors, and nitrification inhibitors can be used to coat or add chemicals to fertilizers to reduce nitrogen losses and allow for more efficient nitrogen uptake by crops.
slow release fertilizer in crop productionirfan mohammad
Slow release chemical fertilizers release nutrients at a gradual rate that matches plant uptake, improving fertilizer use efficiency. They include fertilizers coated with polymers, resins or sulfur to delay solubility. Others contain organic compounds of nitrogen that break down slowly. Coatings and compounds can prolong nutrient release from weeks to months. Research shows slow release fertilizers reduce losses from leaching and gas emissions, requiring less frequent application than soluble fertilizers.
The document compares fertilizers and manure. It states that fertilizers contain nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus that are added to plants to maximize crop yields and health. However, fertilizers can have harmful environmental effects if overused. Manure is organic matter from animal feces that is also used as organic fertilizer. While manure provides beneficial nutrients, its overuse risks contaminating surface water and groundwater. The document recommends using manure as compost to fertilize plants and avoid burning them.

Beneficial Effect of Local Resources to Improve Food Crop Production in Tidal...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— Soil found in tidal swamp, Indonesia is dominated by acid sulfate soil. This soil is very acidic resulting in infertile soil for plant growth. This soil is also found in large distribution in South Sumatra, Indonesia with low food crop production. This acidic soil is shown in low content of nutrient and organic matter causing farmers should supply fertilizer in large quantity to support plant growth. Due to increasing price of inorganic fertilizers, farmers are difficulty to purchase the conventional fertilizer. To overcome this problem, it can be introduced some local organic resources such as agricultural wastes to supply nutrient for plant growth or applying for indigenous microorganism to increase nutrient problem. To that respect, this paper will discuss about the organic local resources to improve food crop growth such rice and corn planted in acid sulfate soil. The organic materials analysed used were composted rice straw, cow bone powder, cattle slurry, cow blood powder, ash rice straw and additional anorganic materials used like natural rock phosphate and zeolite. Highest content of N, P and K elements released from organic materials were found in cow blood powder with value of 6.51% N, 1.69% P and 0.125% K respectively followed by cow slurry and humic acid substances of composted rice straw. Furthermore, zeolite contained K, Ca and Mg amounting to 1.28% K, 3.39 % Ca and 0.85% Mg, whereas rock phosphate has Ca content amounting to 20.15% and Mg 2.68%. These materials both organic and anorganic substances were prepared for raw material as a solid organic fertilizer. The composition of solid organic fertilized combined with mineral fertilizers consisted of 45% Humic Acid (HA) + 30% Conventional Fertilizer (CF = 4N:2P:1K) + 25% Natural Material (NM) with a dosage of 750 ton/ha provided the best growth of paddy rice with highest yield of 6.12 ton/ha for Ciherang variety. Meanwhile liquid fertilizer with composition of gliricidia leaves, bamboo shoots, banana weevil, maja fruit, bananas and coconuts water with the rate of 10 l /ha yielding 5.92 ton rice/ha. Moreover, application of 1000 ml POME combined with 10% zeolite produced 5.05 ton/ha corn.

Lentils are an annual leguminous plant that is an important food crop. Lentils are the second most important legume crop in Bangladesh and are grown worldwide. Lentils are high in protein and nutrients. They improve soil quality through nitrogen fixation and carbon sequestration. Lentils have different varieties that vary in seed size, shape and color. They are commonly used in soups, stews and other dishes across Asia and Africa. However, lentil production may be threatened by increased drought and high temperatures due to climate change.
Utilization of Marginal Soils with Application of Phosphorus and Ethephon for...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
— Abundance of marginal soils is among the major constraint to achieve high yield for crop production due to unsuitable physical and chemical properties of the soils. Commonly, farmers would manage the marginal soil by adding soil amendment, compost and fertilizer which increase the cost of production. Alternatively, application of fertilizer together with plant growth regulator (PGR) during crop management can be practiced to utilize the marginal soil effectively. The aim of this experiment was to determine effects of phosphorus (P) fertilizer and PGR namely ethephon on growth performance of sweet corn grown in three marginal soils namely Rasau, Kuah and Dampar. The treatments were arranged as factorial randomized complete block design with four rates of P fertilizer and standard rate of ethephon replicated four times. The results indicated that the physical properties of the marginal soils vary which Rasau dan Kuah series have low content of silt (10.30% and 36.10%), respectively and clay (9.40% and 11.86%) while Dampar series has low sand content (21%). Consequently, Dampar series depicted highest soil moisture content (18.80%) compared to Rasau and Kuah with high content of silt and clay at 42.43% and 36.43%, respectively. At tasseling stage, where application of P fertilizer with combination of ethephon at 0 and 15 kg P 2 O 5 ha-1 there were significant difference between soil series on root length, total biomass wet and dry weight but exception for total biomass dry weight at 0 kg P 2 O 5 ha-1. Moreover, at 45 kg P 2 O 5 ha-1 there were significant difference among soil series on leaf number and total biomass dry weight whereas at highest P rate of 60 kg P 2 O 5 ha-1 only root length and root volume were affected. Most of the results were observed highest on Rasau soil series which contain highest sand particle instead of silt and clay compared to Kuah and Dampar series. However, the addition of ethephon and several P rates did not affect plant height among soil series. The results suggest that, the marginal soil can be utilized for sweet corn production by addition of combined P fertilizer at low rate and PGR.

This document discusses a new rice production system called System of Organic Based Aerobic Rice Intensification (SOBARI) that aims to increase soil biological activity and rice productivity in Indonesia in a more sustainable way. SOBARI uses organic fertilizers like compost to enhance soil health while reducing inorganic fertilizer use by at least 25%. It also uses aerobic soil conditions and reduced water irrigation, which can save 30-50% of water while maintaining yields of 8-12 tons/hectare, 50-150% higher than traditional flooded rice systems. This is achieved through increased root growth and soil biodiversity under aerobic conditions. SOBARI is being adopted widely in several Indonesian provinces and shows promise
This document summarizes a study on the biochemical changes in nutrients in rice plants grown in sodic soil. The soil had low levels of several nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, zinc and manganese. The study found that applying nutrients based on soil test recommendations increased the uptake of all nutrients by rice plants, with the highest uptake occurring when all nutrients were applied. The sequential addition of nutrients also led to increased nutrient uptake. Applying all recommended nutrients - nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, zinc and manganese - produced the highest dry matter yields of 87.60 and 90.60 quintals per hectare in the two years studied.

The highest yield increases came from nitrogen application, followed by phosphorus and potassium. Cumulatively, the added nutrients increased yields by over 80% compared to the control plot with no added nutrients. The soil was found to be deficient in all the nutrients tested. Satisfactory
The document describes a field experiment conducted in Mozambique to evaluate the response of soybean crops to different rates of phosphorus fertilizer. The highest rates of phosphorus (60 kg P2O5 ha-1) led to the tallest plants, highest biomass and grain yields, most pods, and largest seeds. Moderate rates (20-40 kg P2O5 ha-1) optimized some growth parameters. The study demonstrates that phosphorus fertilization can improve soybean yields in the acidic soils of Mozambique's Angónia region.

The development of a growing system involves knowledge of soil quality and key aspects relating to planting density among others. In general, the understanding and definition of sustainable soil fertility management practices is necessary in enabling better use of soil resources and ultimately improvement of crop productivity. This study was conducted in the communities of Toumodi and Azaguie to assess the influence of The Lippia multiflora culture on the initial soil characteristics depending on the study site and planting density. At each of the study sites and ten (10) months after planting, twelve (12) pedoological pits, 60 cm x 50 cm x 60 cm, were opened in the immediate environment of the Lippia multiflora plants, at the plots of density treatments 4444 plants.ha-1, 20000 plants.ha-1 and 40,000 plants.ha-1, at the rate of three (3) profiles per treatment. A total of thirty-two (32) composite soil samples were collected per study site at the level of the different treatments, i.e. sixteen (16) samples per layer considered, equivalent to four (4) samples per treatment. The results obtained indicate that; after ten (10) months of cultivation, there was at the 0 - 20 cm layers of the soil, of each of the experimental plots, a decrease in the content of clay, organic matter and basic cations as well as acidification soil with planting density, particularly at the Azaguié experimental site. Most of the roots are found in the 0-30 cm layer. The results of this study will play a key role in coming up with technical innovations aimed at improving soil fertility management and agronomic performance of Lippia multiflora-based cultivation system development.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

ABSTRAKS
Population growth, which grew rapidly from year to year has implications for the needs of
foodstuffs also increased. On the other hand, the conversion of productive land into non-agricultural
land such as residential, urban and infrastructure development and other needs that can not be
avoided. This prompted the government to look for potential land that has not been used optimally.
One attempt to solve the problem is with the expansion of planting areas and new paddy fields coming
from opening new land. The opening of new land or new paddy fields meant is open lands derived
from secondary forest land by way of reclaiming land, making levees, floodgates, grammar channels
and rice fields. Therefore, this area contained in the tidal marsh land dominated by acid sulfate soil,
the land is classified into marginal land or problematic. In general, the problem of acid sulphate soils
for agriculture are: the availability of macro and micro nutrients low to very low, acid soil pH to very
acidic, many toxic compounds, nutrients are in a bound state, the existence of a shallow layer of pyrite
and land drainage impeded. Based on these conditions, only rice plants that can be grown on the land,
but production is still very low, averaging 1.5 tonnes / hectare. Efforts to increase the productivity of
acid sulphate soils, liming and fertilization is required. After the treatment is given, also required plant
tissue analysis to determine the potential uptake of some varieties of rice. The results showed that soil
type Histic sulfaquents with moderate fertility levels and the toughest obstacles exist in the presence
of a shallow layer of pyrite and toxic compounds. Beradasarkan ANOVA, almost all of the results of
the analysis of nutrient uptake and the upper part of the roots of rice plants, either in-house research
and in the field of plastic, real effect. Varieties Ringkak Janggut (local) most potential in nutrient

1.Introduction
Rice (Oryza sativa. L) is a rice crop which is a staple food for most Asian societies, even in
every Ben, except Antarctica (Umadevi et al, 2009), (Jing and Jichao, 2012), (Omatola and Onojah
(2012) and Veni et al (2013). Thus Agriculture (Rice), is still a major sector in many countries
(Owusu et al, 2013). However, in line with the demand for rice is increasing every year, as a result of
population growth and the decreasing agricultural productive land changed into non-agricultural land,
it is necessary to land the new openings, new openings land is cleared and comes from secondary
forest land and have not been planted with rice (food). The management of the land, should be given
emphasis to the development of appropriate technology-specific fit, so that farming is done in
accordance with agro-ecological and farmer participation be made a priority (Reddy et al, 2001). In
West Kalimantan, opening new land that can be utilized is marginal land, such as tidal swamp land
sulfate sour (Adi Widjaja and Alihamsyah, 1998). Acid sulphate soils is one of the types of soil found
in some parts of Indonesia (Adi Widjaja and Alihamsyah, 1998). The spread of acid sulphate soils
occur in swampy areas that are affected by tidal water depth variations that depend on the period of
sedimentation (Widowati and Sukristiyonubowo, 2006). The development of agriculture (rice) in the
area of tidal marsh acid sulfate has various problems, such as high soil acidity (volatile), the difficulty
of estimating the occurrence of floods and many toxic compounds, such as Fe (Nurzakiah et al, 2012).
In the anaerobic conditions (acid sulphate), sulfate and iron ions respectively reduced and turned into
iron ions which then ends up forming pyrite (Akhmad, 1996) and (Rosilawati, et al, 2014). The
amount of sulfuric acid content, resulting in this land become infertile (Ali et al, 2012) and (Hairani
2. and Ani Susilawati, 2013). The wetlands occur environmental variability, such as: runoff, erosion,
flooding, sediment deposition and positively correlated to soil microbial richness (Bruland and
Richadson, 2005). Testing several varieties of rice and amelioration, will get varieties that have the
best potential for nutrient uptake in rice (Zahra, 2010). Liming is one of the efforts to improve the
biological properties of the soil (Basu et al, 2011) and reduce the negative effects of sulfuric acid on
acid soils (Sadiq and Umara Babagana, 2012). Liming can reduce soil acidity and Al toxicity in acid
sulphate soils (Nurzakiah et al, 2012). Calcification can also improve soil fertility, soil pH, cation
exchange capacity, Ca confused, Mg, P and K are available, along with a decrease in the content of Al
(Shamsuddin and Fauziah, 2010). Fertilization is intended to improve soil fertility (Akhmad, 1985),
because it can provide nutrients to plants (Raut et al, 2013). The availability of nutrients or plant
nutrition is very important, especially nitrogen in various stages of growth and production of rice
(Pathat et al, 2006), (Lavanya and Ganapathy, 2009) and (Assefa et al, 2013). To determine whether
the liming and fertilization effect on the potential uptake some rice varieties, the plant tissue analyzed
the roots and the top of the plant. Thus, the purpose of this study are: To obtain rice varieties potential
nutrient uptake highest tidal swamp land acid sulphate new openings.
2.Methods
This research was carried out in plastic house and in the field. Research in plastic housings,
made in the land of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tanjungpura Pontianak. While the land
was taken from the village of Teluk Pakedai Remis Strait. This study dilaksanaka for 5 months, from
early March until the end of August 2013. The study began with the manufacture of plastic house and
prepare all the equipment and materials to be used for research and observation and recording of data
based on the variables that have been made. Field research conducted in the village of Teluk Pakedai
Remis Strait. Research over the past 6 months, since mid-November 2013 to mid-May 2014. The
variable uptake (45 HST), covering the roots and the top of the plant are: N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe and S.
Both studies using a factorial experiment with a randomized block design (RAK) with 2 factors
(V and P). Research in the plastic house, the first six rice varieties, namely: V1 (Variety Ciherang),
V2 (Variety Bagendit), V3 (Variety Inpara 3), V4 (Variety Mira.1), V5 (Variety Si more low), V6 (
Ringkak varieties beard). The second factor is the dose dolomite liming and NPK fertilization with
label P, consists of three levels: P1 (1 tonne dolomite and 60 kg NPK / ha), P2 (2 tons of dolomite and
90 kg NPK / ha) and P3 (3 tons dolomite lime and 120 kg NPK / ha). Of the two factors mentioned
above, there are 18 combinations of treatment with four (4) replicates, so there are 72 combinations of
treatments. For research in the field, the first three varieties of rice, which are: Varieties Bagendit, V2
and V3 Varieties Varieties Mira.1 Ringkak beard. The second factor is the fifth dose of dolomite
liming and NPK fertilization, namely: P0 (0 tonnes of dolomite lime-0 kg NPK / ha), P1 (1 tonne
dolomite-60 kg NPK / ha), P2 (2 tons of dolomite lime-120 kg NPK / ha), P3 (three tonne dolomite
180 kg NPK / ha) and P4 (4 tons of dolomite-240 kg NPK / ha). Of the two factors mentioned above,
there were 15 treatment combinations with repetition, so there are 45 combinations of treatments.

3.1.1. In Part Root Nutrient Uptake ofRice (45 HST)
3.1.1.1. Nitrogen
Figure 1. Plot Nutrient Uptake Nitrogen (45 HST)
3. Based on ada data, it can be explained that the treatment varieties and dolomite liming
treatment NPK-fertilizer interaction. While in Figure 1, shows that the combined treatment V6P3
shows the highest and lowest V5P1 showed the combination treatment
. According to Patti et. al. (2013) Nitrogen (N) is a major nutrient for plant growth. N function,
namely: to increase vegetative growth, increasing the number of tillers and increasing the number of
grains / hill and increase the size of grain of rice. However, N is the nutrient most often limited to land
paddy, the main causes loss of N from the soil paddy is through denitrification and leaching. N
fertilizer management should pay attention to lost through denitrification and leaching of N is
(Pujiastuti, 2006). This shows that the uptake of nutrients nitrogen in rice plants of the highest when
compared with other treatment combination. This is supported by nutrients in the soil sufficient N
available during the phase of growth, less N or N metabolic disturbance at a particular time range will
limit the generative phase. Therefore, to obtain nutrient uptake and high yield, nutrient N should be
provided with sufficient during the growth phase (Sudjana, 2014). The occurrence of a loss of N in
rice plants derived from manure as a result of nitrification amides and ammonium to nitrate, then
inhibiting the conversion of N-NH4 + to N-NO 3 by inhibiting the growth or activity of
Nitrosomonas, tested to minimize the loss (Pujiastuti, 2006).
3.1.1.2. Phosphorus
Figure 2. Plot of Phosphorus Nutrient Uptake (45 HST)
From the data obtained, it can be explained that between the two treatments, the varieties and
dolomite liming-fertilization NPK interaction. While from Figure 19, it appears that a combination
treatment V6P2 V1P2 highs and lows.
Phosphorus (P) is a nutrient required by plants in large amounts (macro), but the number P is
smaller when compared with N and K. For serapapan of P in the roots of rice plants ranged from 0.01
to 0.08%, whereas to the top of the plant ranged from 0.08 to 0.21%. According to Makarim (2005)
optimal levels of P in the plant during the vegetative growth is from 0.3 to 0.5%. Further explained,
that the P absorbed by plants in the form of primary orthophosphate ion (H2SO4-) and orthophosphate
ion secondary (H2PO42-) and a small amount is firofosfat and metaphosphate and organic phosphate
compounds form water-soluble, for example nucleic acids and fitin.
3.1.1.3. Potassium
Figure 3. Plot of Potassium Nutrient Uptake (45 HST)
4. Based on the data, it appears that there is interaction between the two treatments, ie varieties
and dolomite liming-fertilization NPK. Figure 3 can be explained, that is combination treatment V6P2
the highest, while the lowest V1P2.
Potassium (K) is an essential nutrient in addition to N and P. Although K in the soil is quite
large, but the percentage of available for plants during the growing season low. Nutrient uptake by
roots of rice plants ranged from 0.01 to 0.08%, while the upper part of the rice plant from 0.08 to
0.21%. According Buckmann and Brady (1982), that the availability of K in the soil can be classified
into: K immediately available, K and K are relatively slow terdia not available. Relatively K available
forms include 90-98% of the total K in mineral soil. Compounds that are relatively unavailable
feldpar and mica are relatively resistant to weathering. But with the influence of water containing
carbonate and the acidic clay will help the process of destruction of the primary mineral and
consequently be exempt element K and other bases. Further explained, that the slow K available
forms include 18-20% of the total K in the soil. K form is fixed by mineral 2: 1 as illite, chlorite and
vermiculite. K is fixed can not be replaced through nutrient exchange system, so that it becomes
available later.
3.1.1.4. Calcium
Figure 4. Plot Nutrient Absorption Calcium (45 HST)
Based on the data, it appears that there is interaction between the two treatments, ie varieties
and dolomite liming-fertilization NPK. Whereas from Figure 4 can be explained, that is combination
treatment V5P2 highest and lowest V1P2.
For Ca uptake by roots of rice plants ranged from 0.08 to 0.64, while for the top of the rice
plant from 0.24 to 0.44%. Ca nutrients are absorbed in the form of divalent cations Ca2 +. Ca2 +
uptake is limited to the tip of the root: root area youth who have not experienced the endodermis cell
wall suberisasi. Ca enter through the xylem pembuluih apoplastik. Freight limited penetrate the
membrane, root growth is necessary in order to continuously meet the needs of decision-Ca. Freight
through the xylem, Ca carried away by the flow of water transpiration, limited mobility through the
phloem (Gadrner et. Al., 1991).
3.1.1.5. Magnesium
Figure 5. Plot Nutrient Absorption Magnesium (45 HST)
5. From the data can be explained, that between the two treatments, the varieties and dolomite
liming-fertilization NPK interaction. For Figure 5 can be explained, that is combination treatment
V5P2 the highest, while the lowest V1P2.
For Mg nutrient uptake by roots of rice plants ranged from 0.02 to 0.23%, while for the top of
the rice plants ranged from 0.13 to 0.23%. Mg is absorbed by plants in the form of Mg 2+. The most
decisive cation exchange reaction behavior of Mg in the soil. Quick balance between confused with
dissolved: Mg Mg in solution supporting mixed up, remember the factors of quantity and intensity of
Gardner et. al. (1991). Further explained, that Mg can easily be managed by liming at low pH soil air
(with lime dolomite), calcification may cause kekahatan Mg if high levels of Ca (calcite) is used on
soils with low Mg levels. Soil with a high K levels led to kekahatan Mg, because it can inhibit the
absorption of Mg.
3.1.1.6. Nutrient Uptake Fe
Figure 6. Plot Nutrient Uptake Fe (45 HST)
From the available data, it appears that there is no real influence, between treatment varieties
and dolomite-calcification treatment NPK fertilizer. As for Figure 6 can be explained, that is
combination treatment V1P3 terrtinggi, while the lowest V1P2.
For Fe uptake by roots of rice plants varies from 0.05 - 0, 08%, whereas Fe uptake by plants
ranged from the top of the 0.03 to 0.05%. Fe uptake of nutrients through the leaves is considered
faster than the absorption through the roots, especially on plants that are deficient Fe. The function of
nutrient Fe is chloroplast protein synthesis and respiration as perikosida enzyme, catalase, prredoksin
and cytochrome oxidase. Another function is as an executor Fe electron transfer in metabolic
processes. The process is for example the reduction of N2, and sulfate reductase reductase Fe
nitrat.Kekurangan nutrients can result in inhibition of the formation of klofil and finally the
preparation of the protein to be imperfect as well as the occurrence of chlorosis on the leaves. Iron
deficiency can lead to increased levels of the amino acid in the leaves and drastically decrease the
number of ribosomes, decreased levels of pigments and proteins as well as a reduction in the activity
of all enzymes (Gardner et. Al (1991).
3.1.1.7. Sulfur
Figure 7. Plot Nutrient Uptake Sulfur (45 HST)
6. Based on the data, it can be explained that between the two treatments, varieties and dolomite
liming-fertilization NPK interaction. While the combination treatment V1P2 highest and lowest V2P1
(Figure 7).
According to Salisbury and Ross (1995) Nutrient Sulfur (S) is required plants in relatively
high amounts, less than N or K and similar to P, Ca and Mg. Nutrient uptake by roots barkisar sulfate
0.16 to 0.24%, while the upper part of rice plants ranged from 0.19 to 0.34%. The amount of nutrients
absorbed by plants is determined by the amount of nutrients in the soil solution. S element in the soil
can be absorbed by plants as SO4
2-
soluble soil solution, so the plant roots are able to absorb the S
element. The greater efficiency of absorption S, then S is absorbed by plants bigger. So the growth of
plants is also good. The more the stems and leaves are produced, so that the weight berangkasan will
also increase. S levels in soil are generally about 0.06% contained in the form of sulfate (SO4
2-
),
sulfide (S 2-
) and organic compounds. S elements absorbed by plants in the form of SO4
2-.
This
element is highly mobile in soil and no cars inside the plant, so it can not be immediately converted
the place of the old leaves to the growing point.
3.1.2. Nutrient Uptake In Upper Rice
3.1.2.1. Nitrogen
Figure 8. Plot Nutrient Uptake Nitrogen (45 HST)
Based on the data, it appears that the treatment varieties and dolomite liming-fertilization NPK
interaction. While the Figure 8 can be explained, that V2P1 and V3P1 the highest combined treatment
and lowest V5P1.
The existence of N in paddy soil greatly affect the vegetative growth of rice crops. It is also
explained by Nurmegawati et. al. (2007), that portion of N transported harvest, partly back as crop
residues, lost to the atmosphere and back again and lost through leaching. N absorbed by plants in the
form of NO3- or NH4 + ion from the ground. Rice plants are able to absorb elements from the soil N
sekitas 19-47%. While the absorption of N fertilizer applied to crops is only about 40-50%. N levels
on average in the plant tissue is 2-4% dry weight (Mukherjee, 1986). From the research content of N
for root uptake tanamanadi at maximum vegetative phase ranged from 1.32 to 2.32%, while for the
top crop N uptake ranged from 2.98 to 3.97%. Described by Patti et. al (2013), that an increase in
uptake of N the top of the plant when compared to the roots, due to panicle formation which is the end
of the vegetative process, so that absorption of N is more to the leaves of plants.
3.1.2.2. Phosphorus
Figure 9. Plot Phosphorus Nutrient Uptake (45 HST)
7. Based on the data, it can be explained that there is interaction between treatment varieties with
dolomite liming-fertilization NPK. From Figure 9, it appears that a combination treatment V2P1
V4P1 highs and lows.
Phosphorus is absorbed in the form of inorganic ions quickly turned into an organic phosphate
compound. Phosphorus is easy to move between cars or plant tissue. P nutrient uptake by plant roots
can only be through interception and diffusion within a short distance (<0.02 cm), so that the
efficiency of fertilizers is generally very low, at around 10%. While most of the fertilizer P that is not
absorbed by the plant will not be lost washed, but became stable of P that is not available to plants and
subsequently fixed as Al-P and Fe-P in acid soils (pH <5.5) (Pitaloka, 2004 ). Further explained, that
the essential function of P in the plant, which is in the process of photosynthesis, respiration, energy
transfer and storage, division and cell enlargement. The first signs or symptoms of P deficiency
plants, the plants become stunted, leaf shape is not normal and if the acute deficiency, there are parts
of leaves, fruit and stems die. Old leaves are affected first when compared with young leaves. DAPT
P deficiency also causes delay maturity. Rice plants were grown on soil P deficiency can lead to
reduced grain filling.
3.1.2.3. Potassium
Figure 10. Plot Potassium Nutrient Uptake (45 HST)
Judging from the data obtained, it was among the varieties and liming treatment dolomite
NPK-fertilizer interaction. While from Figure 10, can be explained that a combination V2P1 highest
and lowest V4P1.
Reported, that most Asian soil does not require K as N or P, and that only a slight increase in
the results obtained with fertilizer K (Pujiastuti, 2006). According to Marschner (1998) especially for
rice plants K serves to: (1) Strengthening straw, (2) Accelerating the process of the formation of
proteins, (3) Improving kualias plants, (4) Help translocation of starch, (5) Increase the resistance of
plants to pests and disease and (6) Making more pithy grain and lowering the percentage of empty
grain. Further explained, that K deficiency will block the process of photosynthesis, metabolism and
translocation of carbohydrates from leaves to the grain, dry matter production decreased as a result.
Potassium deficiency great cause disease physiology, plant stunting, rods and weak, susceptible to
pests and diseases, high grain emptiness.
3.1.2.4. Calcium
Figure 11. Plot Nutrient Absorption Calcium (45 HST)
8. From the data, that the treatment varieties and dolomite liming-fertilization NPK interaction.
As for Figure 11 can be explained, that is combination treatment V2P1 V2P2 highs and lows.
Calcium (Ca) is a macro nutrients that plants need large enough, less than N and K, a similar
number to the P, S and Mg. Most Ca is located in the cell wall and membrane wall, the main functions
are outside the cytoplasm, its role in the metabolism slightly, into divalent bridge linking between
molecules and is reversible. Structural components of cell membranes, maintaining the stability and
integrity of cell membranes: regulate ion uptake selectivity, set vermeabilitas membrane and prevent
leakage of the solution. Structural components of cell walls, in the form of Ca-pektat in lamela middle
between adjacent cell walls serves to strengthen the cell walls and resistance to fungal infections, or
located between the cell wall with the plasma membrane, membrane function. Required in elongation
and cell division: cell wall and membrane form a cell wall and cell membrane new, this is a regulatory
function and structure functions as a reversible bond in the membrane and cell wall allows the cells to
grow and develop (Salisbury and Ross, 1995) ,
3.1.2.5. Magnesium
Figure 12. Plot Nutrient Absorption Magnesium (45 HST)
Based on the data, it appears that there is interaction between treatment varieties and dolomite-
calcification treatment NPK fertilizer. While from Figure 12, can be explained that a combination
treatment V2P1 highest and lowest V1P3.
Magnesium (Mg) is a secondary macro nutrients, plants need relatively large amounts, less
than N and K, a similar number with P, S and Ca, Mg generally <Ca. Essential for photosynthesis: be
the central atom of the chlorophyll molecule, the numbers 15-20% total Mg in plants. Structural
component of the ribosome: protein synthesis. Enzyme activity: the transfer of phosphate and
carboxyl groups, namely the reaction of ATP and energy transfer, CO2 fixation RuBP carboxylase
(Salisbury and Ross, 1995).

highest and lowest V6P1.
Nutrients iron (Fe) is a micro elements are absorbed by plants in the form of Ferric ion (Fe 3+)
or Ferro (Fe 2+). Fe can be absorbed in the form of a chelate (bond metals with organic materials). Fe
chelate used is Fe-EDTA, Fe-DTPA and other chelate. Fe in about 80% of plants are found in
chloroplasts and sitolasma. The essence of this nutrient is as a prosthetic group of enzymes catalase
and peroxidase and as a constituent contained peredoxin role in chlorophyll (Salisbury and Ross,
1995).
3.1.2.7. Sulfur
Figure 14. Plot Nutrient Uptake Sulfur (45 HST)
From the data obtained, it can be explained that there is interaction between treatment varieties
and dolomite-calcification treatment NPK fertilizer. While in Figure 14, it appears that the
combination treatment V2P1 shows the highest and lowest V3P2.
S element can be lost because of the volatisasi (Dierolf et. Al., 2001). Further explained, that
the rice plant to absorb S about 7.2 Kg / ha. It shows that the land is already excess elements of S
which can be toxic to available will be transformed into sulfide (H2S). Reduction of Fe3 + to Fe2 +
precede SO42-, then Fe will always be found in the soil solution at the time of H2S is formed, so that
the H2S is converted into a soluble form FeS. The reaction can protect microorganisms and plants of
H2S poisoning. MenurutTisdale et. al. (1990) Sulfur serves as chloroplasts forming a close
relationship with photosynthesis and participating in various metabolic reactions, such as the
metabolism of carbohydrate, fat and protein, so that when photosynthesis goes well then fotosintat
generated too much, fotosintat this will then be accumulated in plant body. Fotosintat seeds in the
form of carbohydrates will have to be a rice cooking.
3.2. Research In The Field
3.2.1. Nutrient Uptake and Upper Part Roots Rice (45 HST)
3.2.1.1. Nitrogen
Figure 15. Plot Nutrient Uptake Nitrogen (45 HST)
10. Based on the data obtained, that there is interaction between treatment varieties and dolomite-
calcification treatment NPK fertilizer. From Figure 15, it can be explained that a combination
treatment V6P3 the highest, while the lowest V1P0.
Nitrogen is the main macro nutrients required all plants in large quantities. N fertilization in
rice plants can increase production dikarekan pretumbuhan and can increase the number of tillers and
number of grain (Pathak et al, 2006). One of the functions of N in the plant is for the formation of
organic molecules in plants, such as amino acids, proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids and chlorophyll
(Barus, 2011). So Nitrogen is an element that is essential for the formation of proteins, leaves and
various other organic compounds. Nitrogen is absorbed by plants as NO3- and NH4 +, then put in all
the amino gas and protein. There is also the principal forms of nitrogen in the soil minerals, organic
nitrogen, joined with humus soil, Ammonium Nitrogen can be bound by certain clay minerals and
soluble Inorganic Ammonium and nitrate compounds.
Based on the results of soil analysis, that the soil total N content of 1.50% (very high). This is
because the high N total soil types used in this study is the acid sulphate soils peaty (Hystic
sulfaquents), with a depth of 38 cm peat. According Sariam and Khanif (2006) total N present in the
soil, the organic N (NO2 and NH3 +) and inorganic N (NO3- and NH4 +). N fertilization in addition
to increase the availability of nutrients N for rice plants as well as to lower the C / N ratio and to
speed up the decay of organic material indicates humufikasi process goes quickly and effectively
(Dahlan et al, 2008).
3.2.1.2..Fosfor
Figure 16. Plot Phosphorus Nutrient Uptake (45 HST)
From the data, it appears that the treatment varieties and liming treatment NPK-
fertilizer happen real influence on dolomite-calcification treatment NPK fertilizer. While in Figure 16,
can be explained that a combination treatment V2P4 highest and lowest V2P1.
Plants absorb phosphorus in the form of primary orthophosphate ion (H2SO4-) and
orthophosphate ion secondary (HPO42-). In addition, the P element can still be absorbed in another
form, namely forms firofosfat and metaphosphate, there is even a possibility of P absorbed by plants
dala form organic compounds that dissolve in water, such as nucleic acids and phitin. Phosphorus is
absorbed by plants in the form of inorganic ions quickly turned into an organic phosphorus
compound. Phosphorus is easy to move between cars or plant tissue. Optimal levels of phosphorus in
the plant during the vegetative growth was 0.3% - 0.5% of the dry weight of the plant. Based on the
results of soil analysis, soil P content in 71.95 (very high). The high content of P is suspected because
after land clearing, then burned and the land is often intruded at the time of high tide, so that the Na
content including very high (2.47 cmol (+) kg-1).
Said Zahra (2010), that will increase plant nutrient uptake in rice varieties with the provision
ameliorant materials (lime and fertilizer) dikarekan soil conditions become relatively better and is able
to increase nutrient uptake P. Therefore land used is acid sulfate peaty (38 cm), then the P uptake by
plants can be inhibited by salicylic acid and ferulic acid (Hartley and Whitehead, 1984 in Zahra,
2010).
11. 3.2.1.3. Potassium
Figure 17. Plot Potassium Nutrient Uptake (45 HST)
Based on the data obtained, it appears that there is a real effect on the treatment of
calcification of dolomite-NPK fertilization, between the varieties and the treatment of dolomite-
calcification treatment NPK fertilizer. While in Figure 17, can be explained that a combination
treatment V1P3 highest and lowest V2P1.
Potassium (K) is an essential element to three after Nitrogen and Phosphorus. The role of K in
the plant as the carrier ion in the translocation of a number of nutrients, especially N, regulate
respiration, transpiration, piruvatkinase activation of enzymes involved in the synthesis of
carbohydrates, adjust the osmotic pressure. K is a high mobility gives the opportunity to move quickly
from one cell to another, or from the old network to the newly formed youth network and storage
organs (Zahra, 2010). Based on the results of soil analysis on the variable K is 1:01 cmol (+) kg-1
(high), is thought to be caused by burning of land and forests felled secondary. In addition at least
three times a year is experiencing huge tidal land, with a height of 30-50 cm of water from the soil
surface for approximately 24 hours with a quality-salty brackish water.
3.2.1.4. Calcium
Figure 18. Plot Calcium Nutrient Uptake
Based on the data obtained, it appears that there is a real effect on the treatment of
calcification of dolomite-NPK fertilization, between the varieties and the treatment of dolomite-
calcification treatment NPK fertilizer. While from Figure 18, can be explained that a combination
treatment V2P4 highest and lowest V1P0.
Ca element so no car in the plant, over a limited place of the old leaves to the growing, can
cause Ca deficiency at the point of growing roots and stems, Ca kekahatan can occur on land that has
a high Ca levels, especially if the rate of low transpirasinya , Symptoms kekahatan growing point
growth stunted stems and roots, the leaves on the lower transpirasinya. Land that has a high Ca can
inhibit uptake of other nutrients, may also cause kekahatan K and Mg. Calcium (Ca) together with
Magnesium (Mg) nutrients commonly referred to as lime. Calcium is important for plants, because
calcium is part of all plant cells. Based on the results of soil analysis, the content of Ca = 2.70 cmol
(+) kg-1 (low). This is caused by a lack of resources Ca on the ground and most of Ca can be leached
from plant litter, others undergo mineralization in the early stages of an overhaul of the material. The
presence of Ca minerals in the soil varies greatly. On rough-textured soil Ca levels lower when
12. compared with the betekstur finely ground. Ca levels are also low on the ground that has been
weathered Further, the surface of the soil may have lower levels of Ca due to its sour. Most Ca is
given into the soil are compounds to neutralize soil acidity, especially CaMgCO3 (Zahra, 2010).
3.2.1.5. Magnesium
Figure 19. Plot Nutrient Absorption Magnesium (45 HST)
Based on the data obtained, it can be explained that there was a real influence on dolomite-
calcification treatment NPK fertilization, between the varieties and the treatment of dolomite-
calcification treatment NPK fertilizer. Based on Figure 19, it appears that a combination treatment
V2P4 V2P1 highs and lows.
Magnesium (Mg) is required plants in relatively large amount, less than N and K, a similar
number with the P, S and Ca, Mg generally <Ca. Essential for photosynthesis, be the central atom of
the chlorophyll molecule, the amount of 15-20% total Mg in plants. Mg levels were higher in soil
inhibits the absorption of other cations, for example, resulted kekahatan K or Ca (Zahra, 2010). Mg
nutrient content in the soil based on soil analysis results of 0.88 cmol (+) kg-1 (low). The low content
of Mg Mg caused by a lack of resources in the soil and the soil immediately leached Mg peaty most of
the litter, the rest suffered mineralization at an early stage overhaul of the residue. Mg derived from
limestone used to neutralize the pH of the soil, especially in the form of limestone dolomite
(CaMgCO3).
Magnesium (Mg) absorbed by plants in the form of divalent cations Mg 2+. Mg 2+ is supplied
by mass flow and interception roots. Mg is absorbed by way of interception roots are much lower
when compared to the way the mass flow. Mg can easily be managed with dolomite liming, especially
on soils with low pH. Soil with a high K levels led to kekahatan Mg, because it inhibits the absorption
of Mg.
3.2.1.6. Sulfur
Figure 20. Nutrient Uptake Sulfur (45 HST)
From the data obtained, it appears that there is a real effect on the treatment of calcification of
dolomite-NPK fertilization, between the varieties and the treatment of dolomite-calcification
13. treatment NPK fertilizer. Based on Figure 20, can be explained that a combination treatment V2P4
V2P1 highs and lows.
Sulfur (S) required by plants in relatively high amounts, less than N or K, similar to P, Ca and
Mg, as a constituent of essential amino acids, 90% S in the form of plant proteins, disulfide bonds, the
structure of the protein and enzyme activity. The content of H2SO4 based on the results of soil
analysis 2.46%. Direct absorption of SO2 by a small number of leaves and roots for uptake mainly in
the form of sulfate (SO42-). In the soil sulfate move because of the mass flow and diffusion. Mainly
engaged as mass flow, diffusion has significance in soil with low levels of S. Levels in the soil
solution 5-20 ppm. Aras is sufficient for the plants 3-5 ppm in the soil (Zahra, 2010).
4. Conclusions
4.1. ANOVA results, for variable uptake roots and upper parts of the rice plant, almost all
highly significant, for the treatment of varieties and dolomite-fertilization NPK fertilizer
showed significant effect.
4.2. For research in plastic house and in the field, Variety Ringkak Janggut (local) showed the
highest uptake when compared with other varieties.
