ABSTRACT Along with the increasing demand for red chilies in Indonesia, it is necessary to increase the production of red chilies through the utilization of peatlands as an alternative land for agricultural extensification. Peat soils have a low level of fertility, so the application of oil palm shoot ash and biofertilizers from a consortium of cellulolytic bacteria is recommended. The aim of …
ABSTRACT Peatlands have unique characteristics that are determined by many factors, one of which is the thickness of the peat. The ombrogenous peat soil type has a low fertility rate, due to its location in a peat dome with deep peat soil thickness. This study aimed to identify the C-organic content of peat soil fertility and construct a relationship pattern between ash content and C-organic w…
ABSTRACT This research aims to analyze the combination of application boiler ash with NPK fertilizer and get the best combination for the growth and production of eggplant plants (Solanum melongena L.). The research was conducted experimentally using a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of eight treatment combinations with three replications so that 24 experimental units were o…
ABSTRACT Peatland has various characteristics, both spatially and vertically. One of the factors that affect peat characteristics is peat thickness.
