Influence of Biological Indicators on the Process of Increasing Biological Activity to Improve the Quality of Paddy Fields in Jatipurno District, Wonogiri | Chapter 1 | Research Advances and Challenges in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

This study provides appropriate solutions regarding good soil quality, especially the influence of biological indicators on the process of increasing biological activity to improve the quality of paddy fields and increase rice production. Soil quality provides physical, chemical, and biological requirements for soul productivity, food quality and health, environmental safety of the animal and human plants. Increased rice needs in an extensive use of paddy fields in the Jatipurno, Wonogiri. Managing rice fields can reduce soil quality. Proper management can improve soil quality, Jatipurno has management such as organic, semi-organic and inorganic paddy field management which have a real effect on soil quality. Physical, chemical, and biological indicators are used to assess the quality of soil; the effects of each aspect vary. While each measure has the potential to be the primary indicator, chemical indicators are frequently utilized as the primary indicators for assessing soil quality. So, biological indicators can play indicators. The main indicators are obtained from the correlation test (p-values ≤ 0,05 - < 0,01) and Principal Component Analysis with high value, eigenvalues > 1 have the potential to be used as Minimum Data Sets. The result is biological can be able to use as the Minimum Data Set such as microbial carbon biomass, respiration, and total bacterial colonies. The Soil Quality Index (SQI) of various paddy management practices shows very low to low soil quality values. The management of organic rice systems shows better Soil Quality Index with a score of 0,20 compared to other management. The practice of organic rice management shows that it can improve soil quality. The quality of paddy soil in Mangunharjo Village managed organically has better soil quality compared to semi-organic and inorganic management with soil quality index values respectively 0.20, 0.17 and 0.15.
