- Abstract
The potential for developing dry land is still very low, particularly in Karieng Village. One step that can be taken is to improve the physical and biological properties of the soil. This research was conducted to identify several characteristics of dry land and aims to enhance the physical and biological properties of the soil in Karieng Village, Grong-Grong District. The study employed a descriptive-quantitative method, focusing on the physical and biological soil properties. The observed parameters included soil color, texture, structure, porosity, moisture content, bulk density, and the number of soil microorganisms. The results indicated soil colors classified as Olive Black, Dark Brown, Brown, and Brownish Black. Soil texture was classified as silt and clayey silt. Soil structure was categorized as angular clod, clod, crumb, and granule. Soil porosity ranged from good to very poor. Moisture content was between 5,93% and 8,46%. Bulk density was classified as mineral soil, and total microorganisms ranged from 1,85–4,45 (x 105 SPK/g BKM soil).
