rice straw compost, rice yield, wetland ecosystems
In Indonesia, more than 70 % healthy ecosystem of irrigated land has been degraded. This Can be seen from low organic matter (<2%), acid soil, and low diversity of microorganism and soil mesofauna. Rice straw compost is one of the organic matter that can be easily found, which influence the soil in three ways which are physically, chemically and biologically. A healthy ecosystem was expected to improve rice production. The Investigation on utilization of rice straw compost aimed to evaluate the application in every nipping season using four rice varieties. The experiment has been conducted using demonstration plots at farmer's land, in Marjasari’s village, district of Cibogo, Subang regency, during three cropping season, began in February 2010 until March 2012. The result of the experiment indicated that the addition of rice straw compost 4 ton ha-1 during two cropping season (CS II and CS Ill) can increase and varied rice yield varieties Ciherang, Mekongga, Cigeulis, and Ciliwung. Ciliwung variety has the highest yield were to 35,72 % (CS Il), and 71,55% (CS III) than CS I. in the cropping season Ill has increased 26.62% compared to Cropping Season ll.
