Analysis of Soil Quality Index of mixed garden land use type on dry land in Blang Bintang sub-district, Aceh Besar district

This research was conducted by using a descriptive method based on the results of surveys and field observations laboratory analysis. Field survey activities were carried out to obtain primary data in form general biophysical conditions area physical chemical characteristics soil obtained from indicators quality through analysis laboratory. Soil sampling points determined purposive method, namely that have been selected dry land areas Blang Bintang District, Aceh Besar District. for properties drilling. drilling determine thickness solum. Sampling focused only top layer with 0 - 20 cm. In mixed garden use type (LUT) 5 6 sample taken which then analyzed From analysis, fertility status each will be determined. at observation point District.The large percentage sand compared silt clay. The low content clay fraction both lands affected formation aggregates. position composition organic matter greatly process forming stability distribution Sandy vegetation is difficult absorb water nutrients due grains small surface per unit weight. dominated porous high aeration pores. Smooth can increase oxidationof matter.
