Analysis of Several Chemical Properties during The Incubation Period in the Agrotechnology Cultivation Land of Rantau Selatan District
Abstract
Land management practices primarily influence soil fertility. The utilization of farmer group land at Agrowisata Beken Jaya in Kuantan Senggigi Regency has been ongoing for seven years, employing both inorganic and organic fertilization techniques that are inconsistent or tailored to specific conditions. Therefore, it is essential to assess the soil's current state and chemical properties to promote sustainable agriculture. This study employed a purposive random sampling method for soil collection at 15 drilling points, each at a depth of 20 cm. The parameters analyzed included pH, organic carbon (C-organic), total nitrogen (N-total), and the carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio. The research findings indicate that oil palm soil exhibits lower pH, organic carbon, and total nitrogen levels than shrub soil, with an average pH of 4.44 versus 4.63, C-organic 0.96% versus 1.19%, and N-total 1.05% versus 1.18%. The low C/N ratio (<10) observed in both soil types suggests rapid decomposition but indicates a low carbon content. This study aimed to determine the chemical characteristics of the soil in cultivated land, providing a foundation for future fertilization recommendations. The findings are particularly beneficial for the community and students, as they enhance understanding of the current state of soil fertility—reason: Improved clarity, vocabulary, and technical accuracy while maintaining the original meaning.
