Description:
Physical and chemical properties of soil is to know because it affects cropgrowth and production. However, it should be observed how the state of physical andchemical properties of soil at different soil slopes. This information is very important totake the next step in order to maintain the productivity of cultivated land, considering the slope effect on the amount of soil erosion that will occur, which in turn affects the fertility of the soil, both physically and chemically.
To get the data of physical and chemical properties of soil, which was firstperformed is to determine the location of sampling points is determined by purposivesampling soil. Composite soil samples taken at different slope, ie 0-8% (relatively flat)as a control; gradients of 8-15% (undulating to hilly), and slope> 15% (slightly steep),then analyzed laboratory.
The results showed peneltian ground slope does not affect the state of physical and chemical properties of soil at three observation sites were observed. At the observation location relative soil fertile enough physically, but not chemically fertile.The existence of several components in common soil physical and chemical observations on the location of suspected more to influence the condition of the same type of soil or perhaps because of the location of observation sites are relatively close together.
