This study that was carried out in paddy fields next to Paguyangan main road in Paguyangan Village, Paguyangan District, Brebes Regency, was aimed to find out the effect of the road slope position, and the distance between main road and field toward the lead accumulation and rice productivity. The study was conducted using a survey method of purposive random sampling that consisted of two factors. The first factor was the slope position which was determined based on the three slope levels, i.e. T1/starting slope (3.4º of slope at 300 m above sea level (asl) altitude), T2/mid slope (15.84º of slope at 315 m asl altitude), and T3/end slope (8.7º of slope at 330 m asl altitude). The second factor was the distance of sampling points from the road, i.e. 25 m (J1), 50 m (J2) and 75 m (J3). The results showed that the difference in slope position and distance between the road toward plants did not significantly affect lead accumulation in rice, lead accumulation in the soil, and rice productivity on paddy fields alongside Paguyangan main road, Paguyangan Village, Brebes Regency, although the lead concentrations in rice and soil were above the specified threshold.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
