Mapping Of Nutrient Status Of C-Organic And N-Total Soil In The Paddy Fields Of The Duchy District Majalengka Regency

Abstract

This study aims to determine the mapping of soil C-organic nutrient status in rice fields in the Majalengka District. The experiment was conducted in the District of the Duchy of Majalengka Regency with an altitude of 855 m above sea level. Kadipaten District has an area of 2,157 ha, with land contours varying from flat to proven. This study starts from January to March 2023. The research method used in this study is mixed because it can answer the problem formulation descriptively, qualitatively, and statistically quantitatively. The method used to take soil samples is the free grid method with a detailed survey rate on a map scale of 1:50,000. The method used for interviews with farmers is the simple random sampling method. The results showed that the area of rice fields in the District of the Duchy, which occupies seven delineated villages, is an area of 1,361.76 ha. Where the area of rice fields in the District of the Duchy is irrigated rice fields covering an area of 917.39 ha and rainfed rice fields covering an area of 444.36 ha, with three criteria for the content of C-organic status, namely medium 598.48 ha (43.95%) occupies part of Pagandon Village, Karang Sambung, Babakan Anyar, and Kadipaten. The area with a low C-organic area is 512.38 ha (37.63%), occupying parts of Pagandon, Karang Sambung, Babakab Anyar, Liangjualang, Heuleut, and Cipaku villages. Then, for the very low C-organic criterion, 250.90 ha (18.42%) occupies part of the village area. Liangjulang, Heuleut and Cipaku.
