Peat Soils

The use of mineral soil analysis procedures in peat soils is considered unsuitable. Peat soil is vulnerable to disturbance, which leads to the damage of peat inert structure, such as the sifting and drying process. The objective of this study was to obtain the proper methods of preparation and extraction to be used in peat soils that can reflect the conditions on field. The experiment was carried out in the laboratory of Soil Science Department UGM by using the peat soil samples taken from Padang Island, Riau, arranged in a factorial randomized block design with three factors (peat soil preparation, the extraction method, and the levelof peat maturity). The variables observed included the available cation and Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) of the peat soil. The results showed that there was no significant effect of the treatment interactions on each variable observed. The preparation method for original soil at each level of peat maturity reflected more of the physical condition on the field more than other methods. Meanwhile, sapric peat showed significant effect on cations and CEC. After being converted to bulk density (BD) values at each level of peat maturity, the result of the leaching extraction method showed that the value of available cation and CEC that reflected more of the value on the field. The peat soil analysis method should be carried out without air drying and shaking extraction treatment for further research.

ABSTRACTThis study aimed to evaluate the chemical attributes of an Inceptisol cultivated with castor bean (Ricinus communis L.), variety ‘BRS Energia’, fertilized with sewage sludge compost and calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) silicate. The experiment was conducted at the ICA/UFMG, in a randomized block design, using a 2 x 4 factorial scheme with three replicates, and the treatments consisted of two doses of Ca-Mg silicate (0 and 1 t ha-1) and four doses of sewage sludge compost (0, 23.81, 47.62 and 71.43 t ha-1, on dry basis). Soil organic matter (OM), pH, sum of bases (SB), effective cation exchange capacity (CEC(t)), total cation exchange capacity (CEC(T)), base saturation (V%) and potential acidity (H + Al) were evaluated. There were no significant interactions between doses of sewage sludge compost and doses of Ca-Mg silicate on soil attributes, and no effect of silicate fertilization on these attributes. However, fertilization with sewage sludge compost promoted reduction in pH and increase in H + Al, OM and CEC. The dose of 71.43 t ha-1 of sewage sludge compost promoted the best soil chemical conditions.

Land evaluation is one of the most important tools for integrated land use management for sustainable agricultural and land use planning. The aim of this study is to evaluate the land suitability for current land use in akkar plain- Tartous Governorate. Depending on the elevation and land use, nine soil profiles representing the main physiographic units have been chosen. Soil samples were collected for conducting some chemical and physical analyses such as: soil texture (sand%, silt% and clay%), the content of organic matter OM, Cation Exchange Capacity CEC (cmol(+)/kg -1clay). The results of the soil analysis showed that the soil texture was Clay, and the pH values were between 7.13-8.5. Furthermore, The cation exchange capacity were ranging from (12-33) (cmol(+)/kg -1clay). Results of land evaluation showed that the limiting factors either fertility factors such as high pH in the villages of Beit-kamouna, Majdaloun-albaher and Dier-hbash, or physical factors such as shallowness depth of soil. The study concluded that the suitability class ranged from S2 to N2, which emphasis the importance of reconsidering the type of land use in the study area.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of six co­conut cropping patterns on the soil properties and nutrient element status of coconut leaves. The experiments were carried out from August 1984 to May 1985 in Silang, Cavite, Philippines. Data on‑soil properties and nutrient element starus of coconut leaves were statistically analyzed in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Six cropping patterns in coconut with four species of perennial crops as intercrops, namely: banana, papaya, coffee and pineapple were used in this study. The organic matter, pH and cation exchange capacity of the soils did not differ significantly with cropping pattern although intensively cropped farms tended to have higher organic matter' and cation exchange capacity values. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the top soil were significantly higher in most intensive intercropped farms, but calcium and magnesium did not vary significantly. Moisture content, waterholding capacity, bulk density and particle density of the soil did not show significant difference with cropping patterns. Likewise, the number of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes in the soil remained statistically the same. Leaf nitrogen and calcium, in­creased while potassium decreased with intensity of cropping. Phosphorus and magnesium showed no definite trend.

Soil microalgae live on small communities that change structure depending on many factors. Some of these factors include soil pH, agricultural practices as well as pesticide and herbicide treatments.  The size and activity of these soil microbial communities is an indicator of health, quality and fertility necessary for sustainable agriculture.  Methods:A commercial proprietary suspension of microalgae GOgreen®was applied at different concentrations through a center pivot irrigation system to a crop of cultivated corn (Zea mays) during six months.  Experimental plots of 0.5 acres each were planted in four rows. Corn (34,000 plants/acre) was planted in May and harvested in November allowing each plot to be studied for 6 months. In addition, one plot was planted for a second year to study the effects of consecutive planting and harvesting on algae populations in the soil. Soil samples were collected at a depth of 6 inches. Microalgae species identification was based on morphological criteria. Soil analysis included organic matter content (OM), pH and cation exchange capacity (CEC).Results:Treatment with GOgreen®has significant and measurable positive effects on soil OM content, CEC, pH and microalgae species diversity.Conclusions:  It was demonstrated through this study that GOgreen®increased diatom numbers and microalgae species diversity showing a restorative effect on soil quality after herbicide treatment in heavily farmed soil. Additionally, GOgreen®lowers the pH in soils with a pH higher than 7.0 emerging as an economical alternative that is safe for humans and the environment.

Upland Soils

Relationships between cation exchange capacity (CEC), clay and organic carbon contents and soil pH were analyzed by way of multiple regressions for upland soils in eastern Canada (mostly Ontario, with additional data for New Brunswick). This was done by vegetation type in an attempt to explain some of the otherwise unexplained CEC variations. Data were taken from about 2000 soil horizons (organic L, F, and H horizons as well as A, B, and C mineral soil horizons) under broadleaves (mostly maples, beech, birch or aspen as dominant species), conifers (mostly fir, spruces and/or pines), and grass vegetation. For the organic forest floor horizons (or L, F, and H horizons), both organic carbon content (%) and pH were highly significant for predicting CEC, i.e.,CEC (L, F, and H of broadleaves) = −38 + 0.71 × org. C (%) + 10.3 × pH (R2 = 0.69), andCEC (L, F and H of conifers) = −31 + 0.34 × org. C (%) + 12.1 × pH (R2 = 0.58).For the mineral soil, clay and organic carbon contents (%) and pH were highly significant for predicting CEC. Soils with forest vegetation were found to have lower contributions of organic matter to CEC than grassland soils, i.e.,CEC (forest soils) = −7.0 + 0.29 × clay (%) + 0.82 × org. C (%) + 1.4 × pH (R2 = 0.72),CEC (wooded grasslands) = −6.0 + 0.31 × clay (%) + 1.31 × org. C (%) + 1.0 pH (R2 = 0.74), andCEC (grasslands) = −8.3 + 0.24 × clay (%) + 2.14 × org. C (%) + 1.3 × pH (R2 = 0.79).Relationships that were developed from Ontario data for specific vegetational types (maple sites, strongly podzolized conifer sites, grasslands/croplands) were tested by comparing CEC predictions with reported values for similar sites in New Brunswick and Quebec. The predictions were consistent with the general trends for maple sites and grasslands/croplands, but CEC values were strongly overpredicted for Podzolic subsoils on conifer sites.Literature information of the CEC dependency on in situ pH is sparse. Existing information that is based on buffering grassland/cropland soil samples from pH 2.5 to 8 appears to mimic this dependency quite well.

Abstract. Tsegay BA, Gebreegziabher BG. 2019. Effects of terrains’ soil and altitude on performance of Abyssinian pea (Pisum sativum var. abyssinicum A.Braun) landraces of Ethiopia. Biodiversitas 20: 3467-3477. Pea production in Ethiopia is mainly located in the highlands. Field-based agronomic performance evaluation of Abyssinian pea landraces at different altitudes and soil types are rarely explored. This study was conducted to assess the effects of soil composition and altitude on morphological and yield traits of three landraces. The experimental investigation used was a completely randomized block design. Morphological and yield traits of the landraces considered in this study varied across agroecology. The variations were due to soil nutrient differences, altitude of the agroecology and their interactions. Soil samples collected from the mid-altitude had the highest pH of 7.71±0.07. Cation exchange capacity of this soil was found to be 45.46±0.71, in covenant with the approximate cation exchange capacity of most soils (>40 CEC meq/100 g soil) around neutral pH. This agroecology was found to be best for overall performance of the landraces. In the highland terrain, the landraces were less vigorous and shorter in height. In the lowland terrain, landraces were taller in height but gave low yield. Gedober 2017 landrace performed best in seed yield (6.00±0.11g/plant) and harvest index (0.32±0.43) at the mid-altitude. From this study, farmers are mindful to cultivate Gedober 2017 landrace at midland and highland pea production potential areas of Ethiopia.

Soil samples were analysed from a long-term liming trial (38 years) and a fertilizing trial (36 years) on woody sedge peat soils at Tohmajärvi Experimental Station in eastern Finland. Five applications of 4000 or 6000 kg/ha of ground limestone increased the soil pH from 4.4 to 4.8 or 5.0, respectively. The cation exchange capacity was increased from 72 me/100 g to 76 or 80 me/100 g, and the base saturation from 43 per cent to 56 or 61 per cent, respectively, if the exchangeable cations were extracted by ammonium acetate at pH 7. The relative increases in the cation exchange capacity and base saturation percentage were even higher when determined by the method of Teräsvuori. The contents of exchangeable calcium and magnesium were increased and that of potassium decreased by liming. A lower application of lime, five times 2000 kg/ha, did not cause statistically significant changes. Owing to the large variation no significant effect of liming on the content of organic phosphorus or of various fractions of inorganic phosphorus in this soil could be detected. Liming did not increase the total amount of mineral nitrogen extracted by K2SO4-solution from the samples incubated under the labotatory conditions, but the highest application enhanced nitrification. Annual applications of 22 kg P/ha as superphosphate, 66 kg K/ha as 40 % or 50 % potassium fertilizer, and 15 kg N/ha as calcium nitrate alone or in any combination did not change the acidity or the cation exchange capacity of the soil in the fertilizing trial. The application of superphosphate was detectable as higher Bray 1 test values and higher contents of inorganic phosphorus in various fractions. The content of exchangeable potassium was about 0.2 me/100 g in plots N, P, and NP, about 0.3 me/100 g in plots PK and NPK, and more than 0.5 me/100 g in plots K and NK. This is well in accordance with the significant response in yields produced by phosphate in this trial. The accumulation of mineral nitrogen in the samples incubated under the laboratory conditions was highest in soil from plots K and NK, and lowest in soil from the plots PK and P.

Tijayan Village is located in Manisrenggo District, Klaten Regency, which has an area of agricultural land in the form of rice fields which is 105.80 ha of 155.3 ha of the village area. The extent of agricultural land in Tijayan Village needs to be maintained to increase agricultural products ranging from rice, secondary crops, and horticulture commodities. The researcher found a lack of information about soil maintenance in Tijayan Village. Therefore, the researcher conducted this research to determine and study the soil fertility and soil management efforts based on the limiting factors of fertility in Tijayan Village. In addition, soil fertility assessment is based on a desk study, detailed survey, soil analysis, making fertility distribution maps, and descriptive analysis. Determination of soil fertility status based on Soil Research Guidelines published by Soil Research Center, Bogor Indonesia, with parameters of cation exchange capacity, base saturation, total phosphorus, total potassium, and C- organic. Map made by using the ArcGIS 10.4 application. The fertility of Tijayan Village is categorized as low soil fertility class. The limiting factors for soil fertility are soil cation exchange capacity 3.47 me/ 100 g until 12.33 me/100g, total potassium < 10 mg/100g, and C- organic 1.213% - 2.286% . Consequently, management needs to be done by adding organic matter to the soil, fertilizing organically or inorganically, and the principle of healthy plant cultivation for rice fields.

The present study aims at assessing the fertilizing potential of basalts on impoverished oxisoils from Ngaoundéré (Adamawa, Cameroon). This specifically involves the application of finely ground basalts on impoverished oxisoils and monitoring changes in physicochemical properties during six months. An experimental design which consisted in a randomized complete block design is constituted of three series of four treatments each one: the control (ST), the control soil mixed with 100 g of finely ground basalt (T0 + BA_10), the control soil mixed with 200 g of finely ground basalt (T0 + BA_20), the control soil mixed with 300 g of finely ground basalt (T0 + BA_30). Each treatment was replicated ten times in every serie. The control treatment is only soils of Ng, collected at the top soil and without any basalt application. They are clayey, acid and display an average CEC. The basalt is rich in silica (47.52%), Calcium (8.22%), Magnesium (4.03%), sodium (4.01%), potassium (2.42%) and displays average content in alumina (16.54%) and iron (11.1%). The experiment was carried out in pots, and the incubated soil samples were analyzed after 0, 1, 2, 4 and 6 months. The analyzes mainly focused on the physicochemical parameters (Grain size analysis, pH, Cation exchange capacity (CEC), the sum of exchangeable bases (SBE) and the saturation rate (V). Obtained results indicated that the application of basalt greatly improved the chemical properties of oxisoils from Ngaoundéré: the pH changes from acidic (5.5) to weakly acidic (6.5); the saturation rate, as well as the sum of exchangeable bases and the cation exchange capacity increased. Physicochemical properties of the soil are closely accompanied by an increase in fertility. It appears that 10 and 20% treatments are the most efficient treatments. Thus, the basalts from Manwi can be recommended as petrofertilizer to improve the chemical properties of impoverished soils and especially for plants requiring alkalis and alkaline earth.
