“…In case of subsurface soil, the value of kurtosis was recorded negative values with pH, OC, available N whereas, positive data recorded with EC, available P, K and Fe respectively. This finding is in conformity with the observations made by Behra et al (2017) and Kingsley et al (2019).…”

The spatial variability in soil nutrients was recorded during 2019-2020 at Patna, Vaishali and Saran districts of Bihar, India which are adjoined to Ganga river. The soil samples were collected from pin pointed locations using GPS device to obtain the exact local coordinates of each sampling site and subsequently the protocol for sampling procedure was followed. Then, soil properties, viz., pH, electrical conductivity (EC), soil organic carbon (SOC), available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and available iron (Fe) content were analysed in the laboratory. Descriptive statistics were applied to explain the normality status of soil properties The data of skewness and kurtosis for soil pH at 0–15 cm soil depth were negative (-0.72) and (-0.55). Standard deviation of available nitrogen, phosphorus and available iron was found equal to 1/3 of mean indicating the non-normality of the distribution of parameter of data. In sub-surface soil, the value of kurtosis was recorded negative values with pH, OC, available N whereas, positive data recorded with EC, available P, K and Fe respectively. The correlation coefficients indicated that organic carbon was positively correlated with available N, P and K and available iron had negative correlation. The negative correlation was also noticed with available iron with pH, EC, SOC, available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium at 0-15 cm soil depth. Spatial distribution maps of soil properties were developed for these districts using kriging interpolation techniques in a GIS environment. The generated maps of soil fertility parameter could be helpful to the farmers and policy makers.

“…Therefore, the application of nutrient management was importantly required to improve oil palm productivity. According to the study from Behera et al (2017), oil palm basically required a high amount of N, P, K, and Mg to substitute the nutrient loss from the harvesting of fresh fruit bunch. It explained why the treatment of fertilization was frequently conducted in oil palm plantation.…”

Abstract. Alam S, Purwanto BH, Hanudin E, Putra ETS. 2020. Soil diversity influences oil palm productivity in ultramafic ecosystems, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 5521-5530. Ultramafic is a unique ecosystem with an environmental gradient due to its high soil diversity. Understanding soil diversity in ultramafic ecosystems is fundamentally required to support sustainable agriculture management, particularly in oil palm plantation. This study investigated the relationship between soil diversity and productivity of oil palm in ultramafic ecosystems, Southeast Sulawesi. The soil survey has taken in Oheo, Langgikima, and Routa districts. Soil sample was collected from various toposequence, including upper, middle, and lower slope to describe soil properties, including soil texture, pH, CEC, SOC, TN, Av-P, Exc-K, Exc-Ca, and Exc-Mg. Whilst observation of oil palm productivity was done by recording the fresh-weight of fruit yield in hectare unit during a month. The results showed that the soil characteristics from the three sites were significantly different in soil texture, pH, CEC, Av-P, Exc-Ca, and Exc-Mg. A similar trend was also recorded in oil palm productivity wherein the highest oil palm productivity was discovered in Oheo (556.41+96.26 kg ha-1), followed by Langgikima (501.11+54.84 kg ha-1) and Routa (163.19+17.55 kg ha-1). Our study founded: pH, CEC, Av-P, Exc-K, Exc-Ca, and Exc-Mg significantly affected the productivity of oil palm. Based on these results, the soil diversity highly affected oil palm productivity in ultramafic ecosystems.

“…Thus, the knowledge regarding leaf nutrient concentrations of different accessions would help in the identification and development of nutrient efficient varieties. Leaf nutrient concentrations of oil palm hybrids cultivated in farmers' plantations of different states of India have been reported by Behera et al (2016aBehera et al ( , 2017. However, information regarding leaf nutrient concentrations of different accessions of oil palm germplasm available in India is limited.…”

Assessing the variation in leaf nutrient concentrations of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) germplasms

2019

Leaf samples were collected from 17th frond of 157 palms comprising 52 accessions of teneras and Cameroon, Guinea Biassau, Zambian and Tanzanian duras available in the field gene bank of ICAR-Indian Institute of Oil Palm Research, Pedavegi, Andhra Pradesh, to assess the variation in leaf nutrient concentrations of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) germplasm. Collected leaf samples were processed and analysed for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulphur (S) and boron (B) concentration. Leaf nutrient concentrations varied widely across the germplasm. Cameroon (0. 88%), Zambian (0. 91%) and Tanzanian (0. 98%) duras recorded higher leaf K concentration compared to Guinea Bissau duras and teneras. The teneras like 118×57, 134×57, 29×155, 139×155 and D×N (Deli×Nigeria) recorded higher leaf S concentration. Among the Zambian duras, ZS-1, ZS-3 and ZS-5 accessions recorded higher leaf K concentration, whereas ZS-2, ZS-3, ZS-6 and ZS-8 accessions had higher leaf Ca concentration. These findings could play a vital role in identification and development of nutrient efficient oil palm germplasm.
