Abstract

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the metal elements that is often found contained in cacao plantation system. The first gate of Cd contamination is soil as medium of plant growth. The soil characteristics such as texture and pH play vital role in chemical and physical reaction in the soil that may increase mobility of the Cd to the plant. This study aimed to determine the amount and the level of cadmium in cacao soil and correlate it to soil characteristics (texture, particle density, bulk density, pH) of Nglanggeran village in Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta. Three points from each site of cacao farm were selected diagonally to be taken as the soil sample, where the soil was taken from 0–10 cm and 10–20 cm in depth. Plantation management (tree age, fertilizer, irrigation, drainage, pruning) was noted from an interview to the farmers. The methods used in measuring the Cd content were the AOAC method by using ICP-MS. The Cd content in the soils ranged from 0.05 mg kg^-1 to 0.24 mg kg^-1. This result showed all sites of cacao farms in Nglanggeran were below the critical limit of Cd in agricultural soils based on multiple different country (China 1.5–4 mg kg^-1; India 3–6 mg kg^-1; Vietnam 2 mg kg^-1; and Europe Union 3 mg kg^-1). None of the soil properties in all depth showed significant correlation with cadmium content in soil except for soil organic matter in 10–20–cm depth (r = 0.67, P < 0.05).
