Abstract
ABSTRACT. Izhar, L, Susila, AD, Purwoko, BS, Sutandi, A, and Mangku, IW. 2012. Determination of the Best Method of Soil P Test for Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. L) on Inceptisols Soil. Phosphorus is one of important soil elements and application of the element in suitable concentration give high effect on tomato growth. A study on phosphorus analysis and its application for recommendation of soil fertilization of tomato cultivation on Inceptisols soil was conducted at the field and Greenhouse of Cikabayan, Bogor Agricultural University, from March to November 2010. The objective of this research was to obtain the best extraction method of soil-P test for determining phosphorus nutrient required for tomato cultivation on Inceptisol soil. Rate of phosphorus of 0X, ¼ X, ½ X, ¾ X, and 1X, where X was 368.5 kg/ha P2O5 with four replications, was applied in the study. The treatments were applied 6 months before planting date. The research was arranged in randomized complete block design. Analysis of correlation between soil-P and plant growth based on data collected from the plants grown in the greenhouse using incubation media in treated-soil was analyzed. Soil-P test was carried out by using five extraction methods i.e. Bray I (HCl 0,025 N + NH4F 0.03), Bray II (NH4F 0.03 N + HCl 0.10 N), Mehlich I (HCl 0.05 N + H2SO4 0.025 N), Morgan Wolf (NaC2H2H3O2.3H2O; pH 4.8), and Truogh [HCl 0.10 N + (NH4)2SO4; pH 3]. The results showed that there were significant differences among the treatments of P fertilizer on the variables of plant height, leaf number, and stem diameter of tomato. Biomass fresh and dry weight of tomato also showed significantly different between the treatments applied. The highest correlation was shown on Mehlich I extraction reagent between plant dry and fresh weight. It means that, this P-nutrient extraction method was the most appropriate in determining phosphorus nutrient for tomatoes on Inceptisols soil with a coefficient correlation of 0.88. Mehlich I can also be used to develop a comprehensive phosphorus fertilizer recommendation for tomato cultivation on Inceptisols soil (r value = 0.89).
