SUMMARY
I Gusti Putu Wigena. The effects of lime on Sulfate and
Phosphate Behavior on Oxic Dystrudept in Relation witb Peanut
Growth and Yields. Thesis, under supervision of Abdul Rachim mead

of the Supervisor Commission), Astiana hstiono and I Putu Gedjer
W idjaja Ad hi (Members of the Supervisor Commission).


The objective of the research was to study the effects of lime to
behavior of sulfhte and phosphate in the soil namely transformation of
sulfur into sulfate, sulfate and phosphate adsorption capacity, interaction
between sulfate and phosphate, and its effects to peanut growth and yeld

on Oxlc Dystrudept.
The laboratory experiments were established on hboratory of

Chemical and Fertilization of Bogor Center for Soil and Agroclimate
Research, and field experiment was done on k c Dystmdept in Kubang

Ujo, Pauh Menang Village, Pamenang Sub District, Merangin District,
Jambi Province from June of 1999 to May of 2000.
Interaction of sulfate and phosphate experiment, which was

conducted at laboratory, was arranged in factoml experiment, using splitplot design and 3 replicahorn. 3 experimental factors namely methods of

sulfkte and phosphate application (P was applied 1 week earlier than S,
coded with A, P and S was applied at the same time, c d e d with B; and P

was applied 1 week later than S, coded with C) as main plot.

While, 16

combination treatments of 4 rates of sulfur (040; 5.0=S 1; 10.U=S2; and
15.0=S3 ppm S in soil solution) and 4 rates of phosphate

(*PO; 0.01=PI;

0.02=P2;and 0.03=P3 ppm P in soil solution) as sub plot. The field
experiment also use the same methodology and replication, where 3 levels
of lime (0; 0.5; and 1.0 exchangeable A1 or equal with 0;850, and 1700 kg

CaCQJhectare) as main plot. Ten combination treatments of 4 rates of

sulfate (%SO; 2.5=SI; 5 . 0 4 2 ; and 7.5=S3 pprn S in soil solution) and 4
rates of phosphate (*PO; O.Ol=Pl; 0.02=P2;and 0.03=P3ppm P in soil
solution) as sub plot. The ten combination treatments were chosen
accordvlg to Hauser Simplification Concept.


By application of this

methodolog;y, total experiment units of field experiment were 90 plots.
Results of h e experiment showed that application of lime and s u l h
could increased sulfur transformation at high rate at the early stage;
followd by the relative stabile rate at medium stage and low rate at the end
stage of transfomon. Liming at equal to 1.0 exchangeable A1 could

increase sulfur transformation as high as application of sulfur at

concentration of 5.0 pprn in soil solution. At the medium stage of
transformation, it was observed that concentration of sulfate in soil solution
a b u t 20.0 ppm. The combination treament of I -0exchangeable A1 of lime
with sulfbr at concentration of 10 ppm in soil solution showd the highest

of sulfate concentration in soil solution was about 120 ppm. The sub
surface soil, which has higher of sulfur content, all treatments that wre

applied at the surface soil gave higher of sulfate in soil solution of sub


surface soil was about 1-5 fold.
Maximum phosphate adsowon capacities of surface and sub
surface soils of the site were 1428.6 and 1250 pprn P, while maximum
sulfate adsorption capacities were 416.6 and 322.2 ppm S, respectively.
Liming at equal to 1.0 exchangeabie A1 decreased maximum adsorption

capacity of phosphate at the two soil surfkes become 1250 and 1 1 1 1.1 pprn
P, while maximum adsorption capacity of sulfate h o m e 212.8 and 181.8
ppm S, respectively. By assuming that the critical level of phosphate and

sulfate for crops growth in soil solution are 0.02ppm P and 5.0-10.0 ppm S,
a number of 1 00 ppm

P and 97 pprn S should be added from external to

achieve the critical concentration of P and S.
In term of the availability S and P,It was observed a weak synergism
interaction between sulfate and phosphate at all methods of P and S
application tested. By determining of sulfate and phosphate concentration in


soil solution, it was observed that the m e s t concenmtion of sulfate was
provided by application of phosphate 1 week earlier than sulfur (A), while

the highest of phosphate was obtained by applic&on of phosphate and
sulfur at the same tune (B).

Liming at equal of 1.0 exchangeable A1 tend to increase peanut
growth, while application of sulfur and phosphate increased peanut growth

significantly. It can be shown &om peanut height on the treatment of equal

of 1.0 exchangeable Al of lime combined with 7.5 ppm S and 0.03pprn P in
soil solution (S3P3) gave the highest plant height of h u t 48 cm, while
without lime combined with control treatment gave the lowest p h t height

of about 25 cm.
Liming also tend to increase dry pod and biomass of peanut, but

increased dry peanut seed significantly. Application of sulfur and phosphate
increased all the above parameters significantly. The highest yields of the

above parameters were obhned by S3P3 treatment of a b u t 9.03;4.03; and
2.77 kdplot. The lowst pel& of the parameters w r e obtained by control

treatment of about 2.13; 1.03 and 0.41 kg/plot, respectively.
Application of lime, sulfk and phosphate increased peanut seed
quality significantly. Liming until 1.0 exchangeable Al decreased empty

pod from 17.87% to 1I . 5%, and increase might of 1 00 peanut seed fiom
32.87 gram to 37.21 gram. The amino acids content of peanut seed namely

methionine, cistine, and cystein also increased by application of lime.
Methionine content of peanut seed increased from 0.56 pprn to 0.75 ppm;
cistine content from 0.58 ppm to 0.70 ppm, and cystein content from 0.39
pprn to 0.54 ppm. 1 -0exchangeable AI of lime combined with S3P3
treatment provided the best peanut seed quality where the empty pod was

observed about 8,67% and weight of 100 dry seed was 45.35 gram.

Methionine, cistine, and cystein content of peanut seed at this treatment
were observed about 0.88;0.80;and 0.62ppm. In contrast, the mrst peanut


seed quality was obtained by control treatment where empty pod about
25.67% and weight of 100 dry seed was 26.65 gram. Whik rnethionine,

cistine, and cystein content about 0.46; 0.48; and 0.3 1 ppm, respectrvely.
Application of lime until I . 0 exchangeable A1 or equal with 1 700 kg
CaC03/hectare changes some chemical properbes of the soil such as

increased soil pH from 4.4 to 5.03; increased P-available from 2.51 ppm to
2.84 ppm; S-available fiom 19.99 pprn to 25.4 ppm; Ca content from 1.8

me/100 gram to 4.44 mell OO gram; and base saturation fiom 26%to 54.9%.

On the other hand, aluminum saturation was decreased &om 42.5%
19.4%. Application of sulfur in the form of elemental

to

S decreased soil pH


from 4.6 to 4.4. While application of sulfur in the form of elemental S

combined with phosphate in the fonn of Rock Phosphate could increased P

and S available at all lime levels tested. Without lime, available-P increased
from 0.007ppm to 4.1 ppm P;and available3 from 1.13 ppm to 3 1.8 ppm.
At 0.5 exchangeable of lime treatment, available-P increased from 0.008
pprn to 4.2 pprn and available-S fiom 1.24ppm to 34.1 ppm. Meanwhile, at
1.O exchangeable AI, available-P increased from 0.007pprn to 4.7 ppm and

available-S from 1.33 pprn to 37.2 ppm.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian kapur dan sulfur

meningkatkan transformasi sulfur menjadi sulfat dengan poIa transformasi
yang relatif cepat pada awal, diikuti dengan laju transforrnasi yang relatif

stabil dan kemudian melambat p d a akhir pwiode penelitian. Pengapsampai dengan I,O & men-

ditarnb*

dengan konsentrasi P dan S di d d m lamtan tanah, untuk

mencaw konsentrasi tersebut diperlukan penambahan fosfat dan sulfat

masing-masing sebanyak 100 pprn P dan 97 pprn S.

Tejadi interaksi sinergis yang lemah antara sulfat clan fosfat pada
