Abstract
Heavy metals are potentially toxic to soil microorganims and are suggested to decrease soil enzymatic activities. Changes in activity of acid phosphatase in root-zones of some tropical plants treated with a lead-containing industrial waste were studied in a glasshouse experiment. Tropical soil sample (from Gedongmeneng and Banjaragung, Lampung) thoroughly treated with an electronics industrial waste at 0 to 40 ton ha·1 and lime at 0 or 5 ton CaC03 ha·1 were cultured with corn (Zea mays L.), amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor L), and green kyllinga (Cyperus kyllinga). Changes in acid phosphatase activity, soil Pb concentration, and soil pH were measured after a 4-week growing period. Soil analysis showed that the activity of acid phosphatase was higher in Banjaragung soil than that in Gedongmeneng soil except in those cultured with green kyllinga. The activity of acid· phosphatase was in general higher in the root-zone of corn than those in the root-zone of amaranth and green kyllinga.The activity of acid phosphatase in both soils decreased with waste addition regardless of plant grown. This was in a good correlation with the increase in soil available Pb as waste was added. However, the decrease in the activity of acid phosphate as the soil pH increased by lime or waste addition suggested that the decrease in the phosphatase activity with waste addition was driven by the increase in soil pH rather than by the increase in the soil available Pb With waste 3dclitton.

Summary
Contoh tanah diambil dari horizon Ap tanah Banjaragung (lampung Tengah) dan Gedongmeneng (Bandar Lampung). Untuk setiap satuan percobaan· (SP) digunakan contoh tanah sebanyak 400 g Faktor perlakuan pertama adalah limbah industri elektronika, yang diberikan dalam 4 tingkat: 0, 2, 4, dan 8 g per SP atau masing-masing setara dengan 0, 10, 20 dan 40 ton ha-1. Faktor perlakuan kedua adalah kapur, yang diberikan dalam 2 tingkat, yaitu: 0 dan 1 g CaC03 per SP atau masing-masing setara dengan 0 dan 5 ton CaC03 ha-1. Setelah dicampur rata dengan bahan perlakuan, contoh tanah dimasukkan ke dalam pot plastik dengan ukuran 500 g, kemudian diinkubasi pada kadar air 40% (v/w) dalam suhu ruang. Sebanyak 2 bibit tanaman yang telah dipersiapkan sebelumnya (Arisanti, 1998) dipindahkan ke dalam setiap satuan percobaan. Beberapa sifat fisika dan kimia tanah Gedongmeneng dan tanah Banjaragung
