Acid mineral soils in Indonesia mostly develop in wet tropical climates supported by high temperatures, so the weathering process runs faster than in dry climate areas. High rainfall causes intensive leaching, so basic cations are lost from the soil layer, and the soil has low base saturation. Some acid mineral soils in Indonesia are farmed under rainfed systems. This soil has a low nutrient availability status compared to irrigated rice fields, due to the lack of water availability, and is still dependent on rainfall. Eco-Enzyme (EE) contains several nutrients and microbes from fermentation that can increase soil fertility. This research aims to determine the effect of EE N nutrient availability and early rice growth in rainfed paddy fields. This study uses a Completely Randomized Design single factor, namely the total bacterial population in EE consisting of 5 treatments, namely K0= control; K1= 8,1 x 10⁶ cells mL^-1 in EE; K2= 1,2 x 10⁷ cells mL^-1 in EE; K3= 1,6 x 10⁷ cells mL^-1 in EE; and K4= 2 x 10⁷ cells mL^-1 in EE. Each treatment was repeated 4 times so that there were 20 experimental units. The results of the study show that the provision of the total bacterial population in EE 1,2 x 10⁷ cells mL^-1 can increase the pH to 5,38, N-NH₄⁺ to 154,60 mg kg^-1, and N-NO₃^- to 8,26 mg kg^-1. Giving total bacteria in EE 1,6 x 10⁷ cells mL^-1 can increase the viability of non-symbiotic N₂ fixing microbes.

Although ultramafic rocks are widespread in Indonesia and have the potential to influence soil properties, studies on the genesis and properties of soils formed from these rocks, especially to understand the characteristics of the lower defining horizon or endopedon, are still limited. This study aims to identify the endopedons formed, which developed from the ultrabasic rocks. This research is descriptive, soil profile points are determined by purposive sampling method by considering that points are true ultrabasic rock distribution. Observations made in this study include observations in the field and observations in the laboratory. The data from the description and laboratory analysis were used as reference for identifying endopedon. Endopedon determination refers to the Keys to Soil Taxonomy 2014 , the twelfth edition. The oxic horizon in Profile-1 is found at a depth of 7 cm to 37 cm from the soil surface with the horizon codes B_o. The Oxic horizon in Profile-2 is located at a depth of 20 cm to 106 cm from the soil surface with the horizon codes B_o1, B_o2. Latosolization is the process that causes the formation of the oxic horizon. The study site is also an area with a wet tropical climate that supports the formation of the oxic horizon.

The slope is one of the important elements in topography that affects various natural processes and human activities. Slope position can lead to reduced soil fertility due to runoff. This research aims to analyze the comparison of water-stable aggregate on different slope positions which are divided into three, namely between upper slope, middle slope and lower slope. The research method used is descriptive comparative, which is carried out by deliberate sampling on sloping land planted with rubber plants with a depth of 0-20 cm and the same slope of 25-45% and then analyzed in the soil laboratory. Data were analyzed by t-test to determine the comparison of water-stable aggregate different slope positions. The results showed that water-stable aggregate values at different slope positions had significant differences. Water-stable aggregate values in the upper slope tend to be smaller than those in the middle slope and lower slope which are much larger. Slope position, organic-C content, and clay fraction affect water-stable aggregate values

The issue of acid sulfate soil in Indonesia, characterized by high acidity due to pyrite (FeS₂) oxidation, produces sulfuric acid and iron oxide detrimental to agricultural productivity. The use of ameliorants such as coal fly ash (ATB) and empty oil palm bunches (TKKS) is expected to improve soil chemical conditions. The study aims to assess the impact of the ATB and TKKS combination on increasing pH, lowering Eh, and reducing soluble Fe concentration in acid sulfate soils, determining the most effective dose. The research method employs completely randomized design (CRD) with various doses of a combination of ATB and TKKS applied to acidic sulfate soil. Observations focus on changes in pH, redox potential (Eh), and soluble Fe concentration post-treatment. Results of study indicated that application of the ATB and TKKS combination given significant effect to increase soil pH and decreased Eh values. Certain dose combinations exhibit higher effectiveness than single treatments. In conclusion, the combined use of ATB and TKKS offers an efficient and environmentally friendly solution to acidity and iron solubility issues in acidic sulfate soils, supporting increased agricultural land productivity.

Problems faced in tidal swamp land include low soil pH, low nutrient content, and high levels of Al and Fe. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of the combination of NPK fertilizer and Futura coal fertilizer on the availability of P and to determine the relationship between the solubility of Al and Fe, pH and organic C on the availability of P in tidal swamp land. This research was carried out at the Chemistry Laboratory, Soil Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Lambung Mangkurat University from October-December 2023 using a single factor in Randomized Block Design with five treatments and three replications to obtain 15 experimental units. The combination of NPK and Futura increased the availability of P, organic-C, and soil pH and reduced the solubility of Al and Fe. A relationship was found between Al and soil pH, C-organic and Al, C-organic and soil pH, organic-C and soluble-Fe, soluble-Fe and soil pH.

The mining process can result in the mixing soil (post-coal mining soil) that tends to have low nutrient content, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are crucial for plant growth. Additionally, the water flow in post-coal mining soil is often disturbed. The coal mining process can damage the soil structure and affect its ability to absorb water. The purpose of study is to examine the impact of palm boiler ash (PBA) and chicken manure fertilizer influence on soil pH, bulk density, and permeability, as well as the concentrations of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total potassium. The research method used a Completely Randomized Design with two factors: PBA (0 t ha^-1, 5 t ha^-1, 10 t ha^-1) and chicken manure (0 t ha^-1, 10 t ha^-1, 20 t ha^-1). The research findings show that applying PBA fertilizer and chicken manure impacts pH, bulk density, permeability, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total potassium from chicken manure. The application of 10 t ha^-1 PBA and 20 t ha^-1 chicken manure showed the best treatment that could increase the permeability, pH, total P and K of the soil
