Abstract
Monggol Village, Saptosari Subdistrict, Gunungkidul Regency is an area that often experiences drought, especially during the dry season, resulting in a lack of clean water for daily needs and for agricultural cultivation. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of the soil on the plots of land that use PAM (Water Supply Company) water irrigation intensively to realize a food independent village in Monggol Village, Saptosari District, Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta. This research was conducted using descriptive survey methods. Purposive soil sampling, taken at two locations. Location A: land without PAM water irrigation, planted during the rainy season, Location B: land with PAM water irrigation intensively, each location is taken 3 soil samples as replications. Soil quality is determined by calculating the Soil Quality Index using the criteria of Mausbach and Seybold (1998). Soil properties observed were soil texture, volume weight, specific gravity, porosity, actual pH, C-Organic, total N, available P, available K, root depth, and number of microbes. The results showed that the Soil Quality Index on land without PAM water irrigation (Location A) were: location A1 0.58; location A2 0.54; A3 location was 0.73 with an average of 0.62 including good soil quality criteria while the Soil Quality Index on land with PAM water irrigation (location B): location B1 is 0.39; B2 location 0.36; B3 location 0.30 with an average of 0.35 including poor soil quality criteria. Intensive tillage on land with PAM water irrigation causes soil quality to decrease or lower than rainfed land, this indicates the need for the addition of balanced fertilizer on intensively managed land.
