Response of Temperate, Subtropical and Tropical Soybean Genotypes to Type-B Overflow Tidal Swamp of Indonesia

Abstract

Twenty-nine soybean genotypes were evaluated on the tidal swamp to obtain information of diversity response of soybean to the environment and to obtain adaptive genotypes that can be used to develop soybean genotypes for the land. This study was conducted from July to October 2014 in a type-B overflow tidal swamp at 2°38'40.8"S 104°45'10.0"E, Indonesia. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Diverse genetic backgrounds, countries and climatic regions of the 29 soybean genotypes were responsible for the difference responses among the genotypes to the environment. All temperate and sub-tropical genotypes were able to produce seeds in the tropical type-B overflow tidal swamp. Adaptability based on seed yield resulted in 2 highly adaptive, 16 adaptive, 5 moderately adaptive and 6 non-adaptive genotypes. Adaptive and highly adaptive genotypes produced 1.56-2.58 t ha -1 of seeds. Karasumame (Naihou), a subtropical genotype, produced the highest seed yield which was 65% higher than Indonesian average soybean productivity and 225% higher than soybean productivity with non-saturated soil culture technology on the tidal swamp. This study concluded that the temperate and subtropical genotypes can be used as germplasm sources for soybean development in the tropical type-B overflow tidal swamp in Indonesia.

“…The SSC method of planting ensures that the layer of soil under the soil surface is saturated with water by providing continuous irrigation and maintaining a steady water level. Because the crop will adapt and grow better, the depth of the water table will still prevent the harmful effects of excessive water on plant growth [16,17]. Acid sulfate soil that is flooded (anaerobic) can cause a decrease in soil acidity due to oxidation.…”

“…Irrigation begins (Ghulamahdi et al, 2016). This system can suppress pyrite oxidation, prevent a decrease in pH, reduce Al and Fe, and increase nutrient availability (Sagala et al, 2018).…”

Growth and Yield of Three Soybean Cultivars on a Combination of Cow Manure and NPK Fertilizers on Sandy Land

“…Several researchers have conducted experiments on food crops on marginal land worldwide to anticipate the reduction of fertile land [1][2][3][4][5][6]. One of the marginal land resources that is starting to be considered for agricultural development to maintain food security is coastal land.…”

“…The growth and yield of soybean plants can vary greatly depending on the type of variety used. Various soybean varieties have been developed with unique characteristics, including adaptability to specific soil conditions [1,14,15]. Therefore, research comparing the growth and yield of several soybean varieties grown in sandy soils with organic and NPK fertilizers is essential to understanding how different plant varieties respond to different nutrient treatments.…”
