Improving the Quality of Agricultural Land Due to the Implementation of Organic Ecological Agriculture in the Subak of High, Medium and Low Flats
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Innovations and Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
The application of modern agricultural technology based on chemicals, such as the use of inorganic fertilizers, chemical pesticides and growth regulating substances, turned out to have a negative impact on agricultural resources. This will certainly have implications for the decline in agricultural production per unit area, in addition to other implications, namely the contamination of agricultural products with hazardous chemicals such as pesticide residues. In connection with this, some subak in Bali who are at different altitudes (high, medium and low altitude) have made efforts to ensure that agricultural resources can be sustained and well maintained, and strive to improve food quality, by applying organic ecological agriculture. This research was conducted to answer the problem of how is the quality of agricultural land both in terms of physical properties (water content of field capacity), chemical properties (soil pH, C-organic, N-total, P-Available, and K-dd) and soil biology, due to the application of ecological agriculture organic in high, medium and lowland subak to support food independence? The data collected in this study were sourced from laboratory analysis data, field data, and document studies. Data analysis was carried out with qualitative and interpretive descriptive, through three stages of process namely data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the application of organic ecological agriculture in the three subak, both the highland subak (Subak Wangaya Betan), the medium plains (Subak Babakan) and the lowlands (Subak Bongan), has significant implications for the improvement of the quality of agricultural land both physically (water content of field capacity), chemical properties (soil pH, organic C, N-total, P-Available, and K-dd) and soil biology
