Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate land management model in the post-mining land reclamation field at PT Antang Gunung Meratus. Reclamation since 2012 has conducted 5 models of land treatment in the area to be planted: (1) clay stone; (2) clay stone dressing + compost + fertilizer; (3) topsoil compact; (4) topsoil compact dressing + compost + fertilizer; and (5) topsoil compact dressing + compost + fertilizer + mulch. The data of the plants studied during the data collection was Sengon buto (Enterolobium cyclocarpum). Measurements of plant diameter and height as well as soil sampling were performed on each soil treatment model. Assessment of quality of soil physical and chemical properties of laboratory test results referring to land assessment criteria by the Soil Research Center Staff (1983) in Hardjowigeno (2003). From the data analysis, there are two models of soil treatment that are higher than the five treatment models, namely the treatment models D and E. The soil pH conditions in the treatment model A are very acidic with a pH value of 4.59 and soil pH conditions in the E treatment model are categorized as normal (not acidic and not alkaline) with a pH value of 7.40. Result of soil chemical analysis on all model of soil treatment in less fertile category.
