Abstract :
This research aims to find out the influence of application organic matter
and rock phosphate to improve soil chemical characteristic, growth and
production of rice plant in acid sulphate soils, it is related to acid sulphate soils
case, such as low pH, high iron (Fe2+) making less production. It is conducted in
Faculty of Agriculturegreenhouses, University of North Sumatra, using a
randomized block design factorial, with 2 factors; organic matter (B), B0 =
(0 g /pot); B1 = (40 g straw /pot); B2 = (80 g straw/pot); B3 = (80 g cow?s
manure/pot); B4 = (80 g cow?s manure/pot); B5 = (26,7 g straw + 53,3 g cow?s
manure/pot) and rock phosphate (P), P0 = (0 g /pot); P1 = (0,64 g rock
phosphate /pot); P2 = (1,28 g rock phosphate /pot). The measured parameters
were pH, C-organic, P-avaliable, Fe2+, plant height, maximum seedlings and
weight of dried grains.
The results showed that organic matter application significantly affected
in increasing pH, P-avaliable,maximum seedlings, plant height, weight of dried
grains while decreasing Fe2+at final vegetative phase. Rock phosphate
application significantly affected in increasing pH, P-avaliable, and weight of
dried grains while decreasing Fe2+at final vegetative phase. Combination of the
two factors significantlyaffected in increasing pH, P-avaliable, and weight of dried
grains while decreasing Fe2+at final vegetative phase.
