KAJIAN KUALITAS TANAH PADA BUDIDAYA PADI INTENSIF DENGAN PENGELOLAAN PENGAIRAN DAN PEMUPUKAN

Abstract

Intensive and efficient rice cultivation based on irrigation and fertilization management is something that the government is currently pursuing. The purpose of the study was to analyze changes in soil quality in intensive rice cultivation on technically irrigated rice fields. The study was arranged using a split-plot randomized block design (Split Plot), with the treatment of the irrigation system as the main plot factor, namely the intermittent irrigation system and the continuous flow system (inundation); Fertilization as a sub-plot factor, namely fertilization treatment was carried out based on the recommendation of the Minister of Agriculture No. 40 of 2007 and fertilization recommendations based on laboratory analysis with 8 levels of fertilization treatment with 3 replications. The results showed that intensive rice cultivation did not reduce soil quality if an intermittent irrigation system was applied and fertilizer was applied according to the recommendations of laboratory analysis results with a dose of 100% plus probiotics.
