Ultisols merupakan tanah yang terbentuk pada lingkungan pencucian basa-basa intensif, reaksi tanah masam, dengan drainase tanah yang relatif baik sehmgga menyebabkan pH tanah masam dan meningkatkan kadar Al/Fe bebas, sehingga memperbesar bahaya toksisitas Al/Fe dan fiksasi fosfat. Penggenangan Ultisols untuk budidaya padi sawah dapat mengubah kesetimbangan perilaku muatan permukaan mineral-mineral tanah penyusunnya, terutama dalam hubungan dengan reaktivitasnya terhadap anion fosfat. Dari berbagai hasil penelitian, terbukti bahwa penggenangan Ultisols menyebabkan perubahan nilai potensial redoks (Eh) menjadi lebih kecil dan pH tanah mendekati netral, sehingga berdampak pada berubahnya kesetimbangan perilaku hara terutama AI, Fe, Mn; N, P, K, S, Zn, Cu,dan Si. Penggenangan dapat meningkatkan ketersediaan P dalam larutan tanah, akibat menutunnya fotensial redoks (Eh), meningkatnya pH tanah dan menurunnya reaktivitas gugus alummo dan ferol dari permukaan mineral Kaolinit, Gibsit, dan Goetit terhadap anion fosfat. Pemahaman mengenai nasib kimia permukaan Ultisols yang disawahkan ditinjau dari aspek mineralogi, karakteristik muatan permukaan, dan kesetimbangan kimia dalam larutan tanah .dapat dijadikan dasar dalam pengelolaan hara, terutama dalam rangka peningkatan efisiensi dan efektifitas pemupukan fosfat.

It is imperative to have a better understanding of the effects of different flooding levels in paddy soils on changes in soil chemical properties, especially information on the N recovery and N mineralization when the rice straw is incorporated into soil as a source of soil organic matter under tropic conditions, such as in Metro, Lampung. A glasshouse study was carried out to determine the effects of different flooding levels (2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 cm) on changes in carbon (C), nitrogen (N) contents and weight of rice straw incorporated into paddy soil. The treatments were arranged in a completely randomized block design with six replications. The results showed that C content of the rice straw at the beginning of the trial was 33-40 percent. These values decreased 2 weeks after flooding except for the flooding level of 10 cm the C content still decreased until 4 weeks after flooding. And then for all flooding levels the values tended to return to the initial values 8 weeks after flooding. Meanwhile, the N content at the beginning of the trial was 0.56-0.60 percent. The N contents for all flooding levels increased with increasing time of observation (1.34-1.48 percent). The C:N ratios for all flooding levels at the beginning of the trial greatly decreased until 2 weeks after flooding. Thereafter, the ratios decreased slightly until 8 weeks after flooding. Furthermore, flooding level of 2.5 cm gave the lowest weight of rice straw 8 weeks after flooding, whereas, flooding level of 10.0 cm gave the highest weight of rice straw, suggesting that the lesser the flooding level, the faster the litter decomposition rate. This confirms other findings that at the depth of 1-2 cm below water surface of a paddy field are all aerobic zone, where the litter decomposed most rapidly.

For the program towards the development of resistant cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) to the black pod rots disease caused by P palmivora, the diallel crossing analysis is expected can be used to provide genetic parameters on quantitative traits. The objective of the present study was to determine genetic parameters of cacao resistance to the disease caused by P palmivora, using half diallel crosses. The crosses used five cocoa clones as parental clones (ICCRI 3, TSH 858, DR 1, ICS 13. and Sca 6) having resistance levels from susceptible to resistant. The experiment was aranged in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. The treatments were 10 hybrids (F1) and 5 parental clones. Observation was conducted 3 days after inoculation to the spot area caused by P palmivora infection. The results showed that there was no interaction between genes in determining the resistance to black pod rots disease caused by P palmivora. The resistance was more affected by the additive gene action. Characters of resistant to the disease were controlled by the recessive genes. The results in the present study also showed that the dominant genes were more in the parents. It is expccted that the opportunity to produce cocoa hybrid owned by JCCRI 3 and Sca 6.Furthermore, the estimated value of broad sense heritability (h2BS) and narrow sense heritability (h2NS) was high for the spot area. whilc, based on the disease intensity it was moderate to high.

The assessment was conducted in Debowae village, Waeapo sub district, Buru district in planting season 2011 which aimed to determine the effect of three kinds of organic fertilizers on growth and yield of rice on sub-optimal land. The treatments were the use of three kinds of organic fertilizers derived from farmyard manure, organic granules, and petroganic. Each treatment was replicated 3 times (farmers as replicates). Dosage of organic fertilizer used was 3 t farmyard manure, 1 t organic fertilizer granules and 1 t ha-1 of petroganic fertilizer. The variety used was swamp rice var. Indragiri, obtained from the Rice Research Institute Sukamandi. Rice was cultivated with the technology of integrated crop management. Inorganic fertilizer used was 300 kg NPK Phonska and 200 kg urea ha-I , where half of the urea and all of NPK Phonska were given to the plants at the same time at 7 days after planting (dap), and the rest of the urea was given at 24 and 38 dap. Parameters measured were physical and chemical properties of soil, crop growth and yield components. The study results showed that the type of soil at the study site is Endoaquepts and the soil fertility status is low. The kinds of organic fertilizer that gave the best growth average and rice yield are petroganic, followed by organic granules and the lowest was manure. The average productivity of rice obtained by combining the application of the organic and inorganic fertilizers with the use of adaptive varieties for sub-optimal land ranged from 6.58 to 6.75 t ha-1, although generally there were no significant differences.
