Abstract

This research was conducted in the Experimental Field, Faculty of Agriculture, Riau Islamic University and SoilLaboratory, BPTP Riau Province from August to December 2007. The research aim to study the effect of Cu2+, Zn2+,Fe3+ ameliorant addition in peat to N, P, K uptake and rice yield of various varieties. The experimental with CompletelyRandomized Design for Factorial 4 x 4 were used. The first factor was ameliorant addition, consists of four levels(Cu2+; Zn2+; Fe3+) and second factor based on varieties, consists of four levels (PB-42, IR-64, Ciherang, Cisantana).The result of research indicates that: (1) Interactian effect of treatment was significant to N, P, K uptake, productivestem, weight of dried seed, and weight of 1000 seeds, (2) The best treatment was Cu2+ ameliorant on IR-64 withuptake of N ( 254,0 mg/plant), P (32,8 mg/plant), K (76,0 mg/plant), productive stem (30,0 stems/plant), weight ofdried seed (63,9 g/plant), weight of 1000 seeds (23,7 g).

Summary

Introduction

PENDAHULUAN Pemanfaatan tanah gambut di Indonesia untuk pertanian telah banyak dilakukan, baik untuk perkebunan maupun untuk tanaman pangan. Dari beberapa hasil penelitian (Saragih 1996; Hartatik & Nugroho 2001; Mario 2001; Riwandi 2001; & Barchia 2006) dilaporkan bahwa pemberian kation polivalen pada tanah gambut mampu menurunkan kandungan dan reaktivitas dari asam-asam fenolat tersebut. Selain itu penggunaan amelioran Cu2+, Zn2+, dan Fe3+ diduga akan mampu meningkatkan serapan hara tanaman terutama unsur hara N, P, dan K, yang sangat berperan dalam menunjang pertumbuhan tanaman serta menghasilkan produksi yang lebih baik.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh pemberian amelioran Cu2+, Zn2+, dan Fe3+ pada tanah gambut terhadap serapan hara N, P, K dan produksi berbagai varietas tanaman padi sawah (Oryza sativa L.).
