“…These elements have various primary functions in plant metabolism, including the formation of chlorophyll, photosynthesis, protein and starch synthesis, cell walls and membrane formation, roots, and meristem growth [2]. When adequate amounts of these nutrients are available for plants, they produce more biomass and fresh fruit bunches (FFB) with high oil content [53]. In Malaysian soil, these basic cations (Ca and Mg) are naturally devoid, and hence, their productivity is considered low [45].…”

As global demand for edible oil increases, palm oil-producing countries in Southeast Asia are experiencing a rapid expansion of agricultural land for industrial oil palm cultivation by converting existing agricultural lands and some tropical rainforests; however, soil acidity and nutrient depletion are two major constraints in oil palm cultivation in the tropics. Several factors may cause soil acidification, including natural processes, industrial pollutants and extensive agricultural production. Soil acidity increases the leaching of many essential plant nutrient elements and the availability of toxic elements by modifying various geochemical and biological reactions in the soil. Even though acidic soil is less fertile, the productivity of tropical soil is among the highest in the world once the chemical constraints are removed by applying a sufficient quantity of lime and fertilizers. Lime is a widely used alkali to improve soil fertility by retaining nutrients, increasing soil biota, decreasing heavy-metal availability and potentially achieving resistance against Ganoderma disease at oil palm estates. Liming materials are not simple compounds with consistent chemical properties; thus, selecting the appropriate lime must be based on soil type and price compared to the products neutralizing value, composition, and fineness. Since the primary aim of liming is to improve soil pH, numerous reviews have been reported on the impacts of soil acidification, nutrient deficiencies and heavy-metal toxicity; however, no extensive review has been published that discusses the effects of liming on oil palm growth and yield. It is not enough to emphasize just soil impacts alone, and a thorough assessment must also be given on crops (oil palm) and soil biodiversity. This review synthesizes current understanding and introduces a holistic approach to provide insights into the far-reaching effects liming has on the biogeochemical properties of tropical soil and oil palm crops.

“…In Indonesia, ultisol soil, also known as red soil, accounts for 25% of the total land area. Ultisol soil's pH is low, with a high Al, Fe, and Mn saturation, a low base saturation, and a low organic matter content [24][25][26][27][28]. Low pH is almost always found in tropical and subtropical regions and is exacerbated by land degradation.…”

In Indonesia, soil degradation is occurring. A strategy to improve soil conditions is by applying biochar as a soil amendment. On the other hand, Indonesia is an agricultural country with many types of biomass that can be converted into biochar. Sawdust of mahogany, teak, and sappan wood from the furniture industry is easy to find and has great potential as raw materials for biochar. This study used X-ray fluorescence spectrometry to determine the mineral content of sawdust biochar from mahogany, teak, and sappan wood sawdust, especially the ash fraction. Biochar was created by burning sawdust woods in a furnace at temperatures ranging from 250°C to 350°C. In general, the main mineral (ash fraction) content of wood sawdust biochar was calcium (CaO) at concentrations ranging from 51 to 72%, with sappan sawdust biochar having the highest concentration at 70–72%. The potassium (K2O) concentration ranged from 9–23%, with mahogany sawdust biochar having the highest concentration (23%). The phosphorus (P2O5) content ranged from 2 to 10%, with teak sawdust biochar having the highest concentration at 7–10%. Moreover, teak sawdust contained 15-20% silica, and sappan sawdust biochar contained 6-8% Fe. The mineral content in biochar ash included alkaline cations; if the biochar is applied to the soil, then a mineralization process may occur and the cations could improve pH conditions through a liming mechanism. This result is only general information; further research is required to produce more comprehensive data.

“…Studies by Cahyono et al (2019Cahyono et al ( , 2020aCahyono et al ( , 2020b) revealed that Ultisols in pineapple plantations in Central Lampung have a pH range of 3.97-4.76, low soil organic carbon, nutrient content, and high Al 3+ and Fe 3+ content. In response to soil degradation, ameliorants such as organic matter (Agustini et al, 2017;Suwardi, 2021), coal ash (Nurmegawati et al, 2019;Ilham et al, 2020;Rais et al, 2021), lignite (Ram et al, 2007), and lime (Havlin et al, 2017;Cahyono et al, 2019;Cahyono et al, 2020a) are commonly used. These ameliorants can improve the soil quality and productivity of Ultisols.…”

Continuous monoculture activities can cause soil degradation, leading to low pH, organic matter content, and nutrient deficiencies in Ultisols. Compost has been used to improve soil fertility. Unfortunately, its effectiveness has been limited due to rapid decomposition in the humid tropic area. This study investigated the effect of adding coal ash (fly ash and bottom ash or abbr. as FABA) and lignite to compost on the chemical properties of degraded Ultisols planted with pineapple. The study was conducted at Pineapple plantation in Central Lampung using a split-plot design. The application technique (row or spread) was the main plot and three treatments as subplots were 100% compost (K), 75% compost + 25% FABA (KF), and 70% compost + 20% FABA + 10% lignite (KFL). Each treatment was applied at a dose of 50 Mg ha-1. The results showed that adding FABA and lignite to compost effectively increased the organic carbon, pH, base saturation, exchangeable calcium, -magnesium, -sodium, and zinc, decreasing the aluminum saturation of Ultisols. The application of ameliorants in rows technique was more effective than those of spreading. These findings suggest that FABA and lignite-enriched compost in row application can effectively improve the chemical properties of degraded Ultisols.
