Abstract

The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of rice husk of biochar combined with inorganic and organic amendments on soil strength, growth and yield of rice plants on acid sulphate soils. The research phase was to identify the physical properties of soil in both regions and the measurement of field penetration resistance. Furthermore, conducting field research using a randomized block design (RBD), with the treatment consisting of; control soil (B0), rice husk biochar 6 t.ha-1 (B1), rice husk biochar 8 t.ha-1 (B2), rice husk biochar 10 t.ha-1 (B3), rice husk biochar 12 t.ha-1 (B4), recommended inorganic fertilizer package (B5), recommended inorganic fertilizer package and rice husk biochar 10 t.ha-1 (B6), 10 t.ha-1 (B7) manure fertilizer 10 t. ha-1 and rice husk biochar 10 t.ha-1 (B8). The research observations consisted of several physical properties of soil in BPTP land and farmer’s land. Field penetration resistance is measured by determining the value of soil strength (DAIKI). Observation of growth variables in the maximum vegetative phase, consisting of; plant height and a number of tillers, while the yield variable is; a number of panicles per clump, and dry grain weight per clump. The results showed that the strength of the soil in the Experimental Field of BPTP West Kalimantan was 470 kPa and the farmer’s land was 500 kPa. This condition indicated high soil compaction in paddy-based acid sulphate fields in the West Kalimantan Sungai Kakap.
