Abstract

STUDY ON SOIL CHEMICAL PROPERTIES ON SLOPING LAND OF CLOVE PLANTS (Syzygium aromaticum L.) IN SALURANG TABUKAN SELATAN TENGAH

The aims of this study were: to determine soil pH, organic-C , nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in clove plantations in Kampung Salurang, Tabukan Selatan Tengah. This research was conducted using a descriptive method as follows: disturbed soil samples were taken on a different position sloping area, namely upper slope (LA), middle slope (LT) and lower slope (LB). Each of them consists of 3 composite soil samples which taken from soil around clove plant. Parameters observed were soil chemical properties, namely soil pH, organic-C, total-N, available-P and available-K. The results showed that the characteristics of the chemical properties of soil namely pH was classified as neutral, organic-C was classified as low to moderate, total-N was classified as low, available-P was classified as moderate, and available-K was classified as very low.
