Abstract

Provision of organic matter, ameliorant and fertilizer is an important factor for improving sulphate soil productivity. The purpose of this study was to study the effect of ameliorant, chemical fertilizer and sulfate reducing bacteria on acid sulphate soil to palm plant growth. This research has been conducted in greenhouse and Soil Biology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Sumatera Utara Medan with 32 meter above sea level. The materials used in this research are D x P palm oil seedlings with 3 month age as objects to be observed. This research uses Randomized Block Design method. If the results of the analysis of variance showed a significant effect then it will be continued with the average difference test based on Duncan Multiple Range Test test at α 5% level. All BPS-driven interactions increase the growth of trunk diameter except interaction with lime amendments. This is because lime treatment can increase the pH because it interacts with sulfate and forms gypsum, while sulfate is also a source of food for the BPS itself, which causes BPS treatment to be ineffective.
