Abstract :
Ultisols potentially for the development of dryland agriculture in
Indonesia with an area reached 45.794.000 hectares, or about 25% of the total
land area of Indonesia. Characteristics of Ultisols problematic for soybean
cultivation are acidity and high Al saturation that generally neutralized by liming.
Beside reducing the acidity and pressing Al saturation, liming also increased the
Ca content of the soil. Increased levels of soil Ca to some extent have influenced
to the levels of soil K and plant K uptake. So, the doses of CaCO3 and KCl that
can achieve sufficient plant uptake of Ca and K of soybean need to know. This
research was conducted at screen house of the Agricultural Faculty University of
North Sumatra, Medan from July to September 2014,by using a Randomized
Block Design consisting of two factors, CaCO3 (0xAl-dd, 1xAl-dd, 2xAl-dd, and
3xAl-dd), and KCl (0 kg/ha, 100 kg/ha, 200 kg/ha, and 300 kg/ha). The results
showed that CaCO3 application has the significant effect in increasing pH, Ca dd, shoot dry weight, root dry weight, and plant Ca uptake, and in decreasing Al dd and Plant K uptake of soybean. The dose of CaCO3 to increase the maximum
uptake of Ca, K, and shoot dry weight of soybean plants is 1.73 to 1.87 (x Al-dd).
KCl application has significant effect in increasing K-dd, shoot dry weight, and
decreasing plant Ca uptake of soybean. The dose of KCl to increase the maximum
plant Ca uptake of soybean is 165 kg/ha. While the interaction of CaCO3 and KCl
had no significant effect on Growth.
