Controlling Peat Soil Degradation In Oil Palm Plantations With Applications Mucuna Bracteata In Pt. Jatimjaya Perkasa

Peatland degradation occurs because of the activities carried out on land. This study aims to determine effectiveness Mucuna bracteata in controlling peat soil oil palm plantations and effect age plantations. research was conducted by survey method. The determination location is done a purposive sampling type peatland planted with applied Lagume Cover Crop (LCC MB) without LCC MB aged 3, 4, 5 years. Each studied four replications. physical properties chemical (pH, C-organic, N-total, P-available, K-total, CaO, ash content, electrical conductivity, redox potential) were measured. able control (air holding capacity volume weight) (ash K-total pH, CaO) compared those not applied. MB. until 3 years (P-available K-total), but further increases (4 years) no longer effective soil. (electrical conductivity content), up 4 years, increase (5 it experienced intensive growth.
