Abstract:
Arabica coffee is one of the main crop in Aie Dingin, Lembah Gumanti. However, production of
arabica coffee in Aie Dingin is still low. Thus, this is important for analysis and assessment soil
quality which have related to production of arabica coffee. The present study was conducted in
Aie Dingin, Lembah Gumanti. The composite sample were collected from 0-20 cm, 20-40 cm,
and 40-60 cm of soil depth in 12 location. The analysis of soil included: soil pH, cation exchange
capacity (CEC), organic matter (OM), and base saturation (BS). The results showed that the most
area in acidity, cation exchange capacity (CEC), organic matter (OM), and base saturation (BS)
are dominant very low. For improving soil quality, we suggestion adding lime and fertilzer also
growing protecting crops for prevent high rainwater directly to land field so that leaching was
not occurred. |
