Abstract

Organic fertilizer (OF) as an ameliorant is best known for improving soil structure and plant growth. This study aimed to determine the effect of organic fertilizer swallow droppings on soil physical properties and plant growth. It is a pot experiment arranged in a randomized block design with six treatments of various doses of swallow droppings as the organic fertilizer, i.e., No OF added (P0), 5 Mg OF ha−1 (P1), 10 Mg OF ha−1 (P2), 15 Mg OF ha−1 (P3), 20 Mg OF ha−1 (P4), and 25 Mg OF ha−1 (P5). The swallow droppings were collected from the swallow-caged building in the Sindue sub-district of Donggala. The organic fertilizer significantly affects total organic carbon, bulk density, hydraulic conductivity, penetration resistance, saturated water holding capacity and field capacity, root growth, and biomass dry weight. The organic fertilizer dramatically improves the soil’s physical properties and plant growth at doses ranging from 10 – 15 Mg Ha−1. Increasing total organic carbon is not positively correlated with increasing soil water availability.
