Effect of mycosilvi and soil ameliorant to change aluminium concentration by Albizia chinensis in silica sand post mining soil medium

Abstract

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the concentration change of Aluminum in the soil with addition of MycoSilvi and soil ameliorant in silica sand post mining soil media. There are three types of MycoSilvi, single or combination, added with soil ameliorant which tested on Albizia chinensis (Osbeck) Merrill. The experimental design used was a factorial design with two factors, MycoSilvi (M) consisting of four levels (M0 = without MycoSilvi; M1 = MycoSilvi type 1; M2 = MycoSilvi type 2; and M3 = MycoSilvi type 3) and soil Ameliorant (LC) consisting of four levels (L0C0 = without soil ameliorant; L1C0 = lime; L0C1 = compost; L1C1 = lime and compost). Data analysis used analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that the combination of MycoSilvi and soil ameliorant decreased aluminum concentration from 7.70 to 0.10 cmol(+)/kg and increased pH from 3.20 to 5.67 were positively correlated with total biomass. Significant changes were shown in MycoSilvi type 3 with the addition of lime and compost (M3L1C1). Application of MycoSilvi type 3 (M3L0C0) gave equivalent response with application of lime (M0L1C0) to increased dry biomass, so that lime can be replaced with MycoSilvi type 3 (M3L0C0) to promote plant growth, especially biomass of plant.
