ABSTRACT
Pyrite is a major problem in tidal swamps cultivation, so a specific technology is needed to get optimal agricultural yields, especially for food crops. The objectives of this research are: 1) to determine the effect of water management and application of ameliorants on paddy and their interactions on growth, plant biomass, soil pH, plant NPK nutrient content in plant tissue, soil Fe content, and paddy yields; and 2) to find out and determine a good combination of water management and types of ameliorants that increased paddy yields. The research design was a split-split plot using Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The first factor was the water management system as the main plot consisting of four levels. The second factor was variety as a subplot consisting of two levels. The third factor was the types of ameliorant as a sub-subplot consisting of four levels. The water management system stationary SSC + peat humic acid is the best combination, as indicated by the number of tillers, root wet weight, root dry weight, increased soil pH, decreased Fe in the soil, and the highest productivity of 6.61 t ha-1. Paddy varieties IR64 that are sensitive to Fe poisoning can grow and produce like varieties Inpara 4 that are tolerant in tidal swamps with water management systems and ameliorant applications.
