ABSTRACT

It is important to develop a new convenient and environmentally-friendly technology of liming for sustainable rice production on acidic soil area. Thus, an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of application methods and rate of lime on soil properties and rice yield. The results showed that a similar ameliorating effect on agricultural acidic soil were found between massive quicklime and powered hydrated lime. Interestingly, optimized application rate of lime significantly increases rice yield, while over-liming leads to an adverse effect to the rice production. The changes of soil nutrients affected by liming rates were related to organic matter content and soil texture, with elevated mineralization of organic matter were found in organic and sandy soil. Conclusively, massive quicklime method has been found to be optimal for rice cultivation on acidic soil conditions with rates of 1500-2250 kg/ha for clay soil and 2250-3000 kg/ha for sandy soil, respectively.

ABSTRAK

Pembangunan teknologi pengapuran yang mudah dan mesra alam amat penting untuk pengeluaran padi yang mampan di kawasan tanah berasid. Oleh itu, satu uji kaji telah dijalankan untuk menilai kesan kaedah aplikasi dan kadar kapur terhadap sifat tanah dan hasil padi. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa kesan pembaikan yang sama pada tanah pertanian berasid didapati antara kapur tohor masif dan kapur tawar. Menariknya, kadar penggunaan kapur yang dioptimumkan telah meningkatkan hasil padi dengan ketara, manakala penggunaan kapur yang berlebihan membawa kepada kesan buruk terhadap pengeluaran padi. Perubahan nutrien tanah yang dipengaruhi oleh kadar pengapuran adalah berkaitan dengan kandungan bahan organik, tekstur tanah serta mineralisasi bahan organik yang tinggi ditemui dalam tanah organik dan berpasir. Secara kesimpulannya, kaedah kapur tohor masif memberikan hasil optimum bagi penanaman padi untuk tanah berasid dengan kadar masing-masing 1500-2250 kg/ha untuk tanah liat dan 2250-3000 kg/ha untuk tanah berpasir.

 

Kata kunci: Tanah berasid; teknik pengapuran; tumbesaran padi
