Evaluasi Sifat Kimia Tanah pada Kebun Cengkeh (Syzygium aromaticum L.) di Desa Balohan Kecamatan Sukajaya Kota Sabang

Abstract

Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik kimia dan status kesuburan tanah seta arahan pengelolaan tanaman cengkeh di Desa Balohan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survai deskriptif berdasarkan pengamatan lapangan dan analisis laboratorium. Titik pengamatan ditentukan dengan survai berdasarkan tingkat perbedaan lereng, yaitu rute pengamatan tanah dengan mengamati tingkat perbedaan lereng di lokasi penelitian. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan karakteristik kimia pada kebun cengkeh di Desa Balohan  yaitu: a) pH kriteria agak masam, b) C-organik tergolong rendah, c) kadar N-total tergolong sangat rendah hingga sedang, d) P-tersedia tergolong sangat rendah hingga sangat tinggi, e) P-total tergolong sangat rendah, f) nilai K-dd tergolong sedang, g) nilai KTK dan Nilai KB tergolong rendah. Status kesuburan tanah pada kebun cengkeh yang terdapat di Desa Balohan tergolong rendah, perlu dilakukan pengelolaan kesuburan melalui pemupukan untuk perbaikan terhadap sifat-sifat kimia tanah yang rendah, dan perlu dilakukan pengelolaan kesuburan tanah untuk keberlanjutan budidaya dan meningkatkan produksi cengkeh.

Evaluation Chemistry Characteristics on Cloves Garden (Syzygium aromaticum L.) in Balohan Village Sukajaya Subdistrict Sabang City)

Abstract. This study aims to determine the chemical characteristics and soil fertility status following the direction of clove management in Balohan Village. This research uses descriptive survey method based on field observations and laboratory analysis. The observation point is determined by a survey based on the level of slope differences, namely the soil observation route by observing the level of slope differences at the study site. 
The results of this study indicate the chemical characteristics of the clove gardens in Balohan Village, namely: a) the pH criteria are somewhat sour, b) C-organic is low, c) N-total levels are very low to moderate, d) P-available is very low to very high, e) P-total is classified as very low, f) K-dd value is classified as moderate, g) KTK value and KB value is classified as low. Soil fertility status in clove plantations in Balohan Village is classified as low, fertility management needs to be done through fertilization to improve soil chemical properties that are low, and it is necessary to manage soil fertility for the sustainability of cultivation and increase clove production.
