Abstract

The sustainable development and management of arid regions in Indonesia are imperative, given the diminishing land area available for cultivation. A crucial aspect of this management involves assessing the soil fertility status to understand the extent of soil productivity. This study focused on Karieng Village, situated in the Grong Grong District of Pidie Aceh Regency. Employing a descriptive-quantitative approach, the methodology utilized various parameters to evaluate soil fertility status, including soil pH, cation exchange capacity, alkaline saturation (KB), total P2O5, K2O, and C-Organic. The results revealed that Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and Base Saturation (KB) levels were high and very high, respectively. Conversely, phosphorus (P) exhibited very low to low values, while potassium (K) demonstrated low, medium, and very high criteria. Additionally, C-Organic criteria ranged from very low to low. Overall, the assessment categorized the soil fertility status in the research area as moderate. The primary limiting factors identified were low levels of organic carbon and phosphorus content in the soil. This information is crucial for devising targeted strategies to enhance soil fertility and promote sustainable agricultural practices in the region.
