Abstract

IDENTIFICATION OF SOILS CHEMICAL PROPERTIES ON LAND OF SHALLOTS PLANTATION (Allium ascalonicum, L.) IN TALIKURAN VILLAGE REMBOKEN DISTRICT MINAHASA REGENCY

The research aims to identify the soil chemical properties on land of shallots plantation (Allium ascalonicum, L). The research method used is a survey method. Determining the sample by purposive sampling (based on need) in the area of shallot plantationas much as two sample (S1 and S2) and as a comparison of areas outside the Shallots Plantation area (land without tillage) as much as one sample (S3). Soil samples were taken using the composite method (zig-zag method). Analysis of soil chemical properties was carried out at the Laboratory of Chemistry and Soil Fertility, Departement of Soil. Data analysisi is tabular data analysis. The results of the identification of soil chemical properties on land of shallots plantation in Talikuran Village Remboken District Minahasa Regency showed that the degree of soil acidity (soil pH) was classified as slightly acidic, N-total soil was classified as low to moderate, P-available in the soil was classified as moderate, K-available in the soil range 24,22-25,11 ppm classified as moderate, and C-organic soil is classified as very low to low.
