Abstract
This research was conducted on clay soils, especially for vegetable
plantations, aimed to determine the ability of the soil layer to distribute
nutrients and restore soil health and fertility due to the use of chemical
fertilizers and pesticides. Through microbial activity that is controlled by
spreading through a horizontal biohole, this study
observes in real time through a micro controller the changes in soil acidity,
infiltration rate, electrolyte conductivity levels and porosity levels through
soil infiltration rates. Through simulations with the variable microbial
population, it can be seen the level of EC and other parameters against the
time of observation in real time. From the observations of graphs and EC
standards, it can be seen that the ability of the soil to because until day 45
the soil fertility level has not reached = 1500 uS /
cm with a microbial population = 103/ cfu. support
the planting schedule both during the vegetative growth period and during the
generative growth period, so that we will know when is the right time to do:
soil recovery, initial planting and when the tubers / flowers / fruit begin to
be conditioned. until cooked based on nutrient values observed through sensors
that convert analog parameters by the micro controller into digital information
transmitted by wifi in real time. The initial
condition before simulating the soil fertility value with the Electrolyte
Conductivity (EC) parameter is 744 uS / cm, the
simulation results are: Simulation 1:
nutrient content for generative growth was achieved on day 27 with fertility
level = 1525 uS / cm with Microbial Population 10 8
/ cfu. Simulation
2: nutrient content for generative growth was achieved on day 42 at the
fertility level = 1500 uS / cm with microbial
population = 10 5/ cfu. Simulation 3: nutrient content for
generative growth cannot be observed

The potential of alluvial
land is very large for agricultural business, but the structure of this soil
layer is also easily damaged if managed incorrectly. The ability of farmers
also needs to be improved, especially in understanding the characteristics of
this soil. So that with Biosoildam technology it will
save fertilizer use and increase crop production while preserving natural
resources through soil and water conservation.
The current decline in
carrying land capacity continues to expand (environement
degradation). One of the main contributing factors is the decrease in the soil
fertility, health and absorption (infiltration rate), triggered by excessive
use of inorganic fertilizers (pesticides) (Widiasmadi, 2019).
To restore the land's capacity quickly and measurably and to restore soil
productivity as well, infiltration is not enough. Biological agents
(biofertilizer) are needed to support soil and water conservation. However, so
far, there has not been any periodical and continuous/real-time measurement of
the monitoring & assessment system of agricultural cultivation. Thus,
accurate information on a soil parameter in achieving a harvest target is
needed.
Infiltration is the process
of water flowing into the soil which generally comes from rainfall, while the
infiltration rate is the amount of water that enters the soil per unit time.
This process is a very important part of the hydrological cycle which can
affect the amount of water that is on the surface of the soil. Water on the
surface soil will enter the soil and then flow into the river (Sunjoto, 2011).
Not all surface water flows into the soil, but some portion of the water
remains in topsoil to be further evaporated back into the atmosphere through
the soil surface or soil evaporation (Suripin, 2013).
Infiltration capacity is the
ability of the soil to absorb large amounts of water into the ground and
influenced by the microorganism activities in the soil (Dr, 2020b).
The large infiltration capacity can reduce surface runoff. The reduced soil
pores, generally caused by soil compacting, can cause a decreased infiltration.
This condition is also affected by the soil contamination (Dr, 2020a)
due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides which hardens the
soil as well.
Smart-Biosoildam is a Biodam technology
development that involves microbial activity in increasing the measured and
controlled inflation rate. Biological activities through the role of microbes
as agents of biomass decomposition and soil conservation become important
information for soil conservation efforts in supporting healthy food security (Dr, 2020a).
Such development has used a microcontroller to effectively monitor the
activities of the said agents through the electrolyte conductivity parameter as
an analogue input of EC sensors embedded in the soil and further converted to
digital information by the microcontroller (Dr, 2020a).
To control the activities of
biological agents, other variables are needed, such as information on pH,
humidity (M) and soil temperature (T) obtained from pH sensors, T sensors, M
sensors. These sensors are connected to a microcontroller which can be accessed
through a pin that functions as a GPIO (General Port Input Output) in the
ESP8266 Module so as to provide the additional capability of a WIFI-enabled
microcontroller to send all analogue responses to digital in real-time, every
second, minute, hour, day and monthly. Furthermore, we can display this data in
infographics and numeric tables to be stored and processed in the WEB (Wasisto, 2018).
To maximize yields, optimal
soil nutrient content is required ranging from vegetative growth to generative
growth so as to save the use of organic fertilizers and other nutrients. This
research is to observe the number of microbes that spread radially through the
horizontal biohole as the center of microbial
distribution which is observed in real time using soil parameter sensors. This
research will show soil characteristics in its ability to increase natural
fertility and the ability to nourish the soil from toxins that come from water
and air pollution.
The study was conducted on
alluvial land which for decades has been the source of livelihood for the
community of Sriwulan Village Sayung
District Demak Regency. Land management lacks soil
and water conservation. People use chemical fertilizers & pesticides
excessively which harden the soil texture, acidify the soil and decrease the
yields. Hardened agricultural land also triggers floods, since the soil's
ability to absorb decreases. This research that took place from Agustus � November 2020, intends to restore the carrying
capacity of the land.
Tools and materials used in
research are: Mikrokontroler Arduino UNO,Wifi ESP8266, Soil parameter

To determine plots and
sensors, this study uses purposive sampling at various distances: 1.5; 2; 3 metre from the center of Biohole with a diameter of 1 meter as the central radial
distribution of the biological agent Microbe Alfaafa
MA-11 through the water injection process. Infiltration rate and radial
biological agent distribution can be controlled in real-time through
measurement sensors with parameters: EC/salt ion (macronutrients), pH, humidity
and soil temperature. And as a periodical control, the infiltration rate with a
Double Ring Infiltrometer on the variable distance from the center of the Biohole are manually measured. Next, soil samples are also
taken to analyze their characteristics, such as soil texture, organic material
content and bulk density (Douglas, 1988).
Catalysis
Discharge
Smartbiosoildam innovation uses
runoff discharge as a media for biological agents
distribution through the inlet/inflow (Biohole) as a centre for the microbial populations distribution with
water. The runoff discharge calculation as a basis for the Inflow Biosoildam formula requires the following stages:
1.
conducting a rainfall analysis,
2.
calculating the catchment area, and
3.
analyzing the soil/rock layers.
Biosoildam structure can be
made with holes in the soil layer without or using water pipes/reinforced
concrete pipes (RCP) with perforated layer that will let microbes to spread
radially. We can calculate the discharge entering Biohole
as a function of the catchment characteristic with a rational formula:
Q = 0,278 CIA������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ���� ���(1)
where C is the runoff coefficient value, I is the
precipitation and A is the area (Sunjoto, 2011).
Based on this formula, the Table presents the results of runoff discharge.
Infiltration
is
the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil. It is commonly
used in both hydrology and soil sciences. The infiltration capacity is defined
as the maximum rate of infiltration. It is most often measured in meters per
day but can also be measured in other units of distance over time if necessary.
The infiltration capacity decreases as the soil moisture content of soils
surface layers increases. If the precipitation rate exceeds the infiltration
rate, runoff will usually occur unless there is some physical barrier.Infiltrometers,
permeameters and rainfall simulators are all devices that can be used to
measure infiltration rates. Infiltration is caused by multiple factors
including; gravity, capillary forces, adsorption and osmosis. Many soil
characteristics can also play a role in determining the rate at which
infiltration occurs.
The spread of microbes as a
biomass decomposting agent can be controlled through
the calculation of the infiltration rate at point radius from Biohole as the centre of the
spread of microbes. by using the Horton method. Horton observed that
infiltration starts from a standard value fo and exponentially decreases to a constant condition fc. One of the earliest infiltration
equations developed by Horton is:
f(t) = fc + (fo �
fc)e-kt��������������� �������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
���(2) where :
k is a constant
reduction to the dimension [T -1] or a constant decreasing infiltration rate.
fo is an infiltration rate capacity at the beginning of
the measurement. fc is a constant
infiltration capacity that depends on the soil type.
The fo and fc parameters are
obtained from the field measurement using a double-ring infiltrometer. The fo and fc parameters are the functions of soil type and cover. Sandy or
gravel soils have high values, while bare clay soils have little value, and for
grassy land surfaces, the value increases (Widiasmadi, 2019).
The infiltration calculation
data from the measurement results in the first 15 minutes, the second 15
minutes, the third 15 minutes and the fourth 15 minutes at each distance from
the centre of Biohole are
converted in units of cm/hour with the following formula:
where: ΔH = height decrease (cm) within a certain
time interval, T = the time interval required by water in ΔH to enter the
ground (minutes) (Huang & Shan, 1997). This observation takes
place every 3 days for one month.
The porosity of soils is
critical in determine the infiltration capacity. Soils that have smaller pore
sizes, such as clay, have lower infiltration capacity and slower infiltration
rates than soils that have large pore size, such as sands. One exception to this
rule is when clay is present in dry conditions. In this case, the soil can
develop large cracks which leads to higher infiltration capacity.
Soil compaction is also impacts
infiltration capacity. Compaction of soils results in decreased porosity within
the soils, which decreases infiltration capacity.
Hydrophobic soils can develop after wildfires have
happened, which can greatly diminish or completely prevent infiltration from
occurring.
Soil moisture content:
Soil
that is already saturated has no more capacity to hold more water, therefore
infiltration capacity has been reached and the rate cannot increase past this
point. This leads to much more surface runoff. When soil is partially saturated
then infiltration can occur at a moderate rate and fully unsaturated soils have
the highest infiltration capacity.
Organic materials in
soils
Organic materials in the
soil (including plants and animals) all increase the infiltration capacity.
Vegetation contains roots that extent into the soil which create cracks and
fissures in the soil, allowing for more rapid infiltration and increased
capacity. Vegetation can also reduce surface compaction of the soil which again
allows for increased infiltration. When no vegetation is present infiltration
rates can be very low, which can lead to excessive runoff and increased erosion
levels. Similarly to vegetation, animals that burrow
in the soil also create cracks in the soil structure.
This analysis uses MA-11
biological agents that have been tested by the Microbiology Laboratorium
of Gadjah Mada University based on Ministerial

This application in Biosoildam is concentrating the microbes into
"population media", as a source of soil conditioner for increasing
infiltration rates and restoring natural fertility.
Indications of microbial
activity on fertility can be controlled through acidity. The number of nutrients
contained in the soil is an indicator of the level of soil fertility due to the
activity of biological agents in decomposing biomass. Important factors that
influence the absorption of nutrients (EC) by plant roots are the degrees of
soil acidity (soil pH), temperature (T) and humidity (M). Soil Acidity level
(pH) greatly influences the plant�s growth rate and development (Boardman & Skrove, 1966).
Microbial activity as a
contributor to soil nutrition from the biomass decomposition results can be controlled
through the salinity level of the nutrient solution expressed through
conductivity as well as other parameters as analogue inputs. Conductivity can
be measured using EC, Electroconductivity or Electrical (or Electro) Conductivity
(EC) is the nutrients density in solution. The more concentrated the solution
is, the greater the delivery of electric current from the cation (+) and anion
(-) to the anode and cathode of the EC meter. Thus, it results in the higher
EC. The measurement unit of EC is mS/cm (millisiemens)
(John M Lafle, PhD, Junilang
Tian, Professor ChiHua Huang, PhD, 2011).
This study uses an Arduino
Uno microcontroller which has 14 digital pins, of which there are 6 pins used
as Pulse Width Modulation or PWM outputs, namely the pins D.3, D.5, D.6, D.9,
D.10, D.11, and 6 analogue input pins for these soil parameter elements, namely
EC, T, pH, M. Analog input on Arduino Uno uses C language and for programming
uses a compatible software for all types of Arduino (Greengard, 2017).
Arduino Uno microcontroller can facilitate communication between Arduino Uno
with computers including smartphones. This microcontroller provides USART
(Universal Synchronous and Asynchronous Serial Receiver and Transmitter)
facilities located at the D.0 (Rx) pin and the D.1 (Tx) pin.
This research uses the
ESP8266 data transmission system with the firmware and the AT Command set that
can be programmed with Arduino. The ESP8266 module is an on-chip system that
can be connected to a WIFI network. Besides, several pins function as GPIO
(General Port Input Output) to access these ground parameter sensors that are
connected to Arduino, so that the system can connect to Wifi
(Schwab, 2017).
Thus, we can process analogue inputs of various soil parameters into digital
information and process them via the web.
The rainfall design
intensity was determined using rainfall data from Semarang Station in 2005-2017
Statistical analysis was performed to determine the distribution type used,
which in this study was the Log Person III�s. Distribution checking on whether
rain opportunities can be accepted or not is calculated using the Chi Square
test and the Kolmogorov Smirnov test. Next, the design rainfall intensity is
calculated using the mononobe formula.
The discharge plan as a
MA-11 microbial catalyst uses the rainfall intensity for 1 hour since it is
estimated that the most predominant rainfall duration in the area studied is 1
hour. The runoff coefficient for various surface flow coefficients is 0.70 -
0.95 (Suripin, 2013),
while in this study we use the smallest flow coefficient value, which is 0.70.
The discharge plan has
various catchment areas, between 9 m2 to 110 m2 with a
proportional relationship. The larger the plot, the greater the plan discharge
generated as a biohole inflow.
The depth of Biohole in the study area in the
25-year return period ranges from 0.80 m to 1.50 m. The absorption volume will
determine the maximum capacity of water contained in Biohole.
The greater the volume of Biohole is, the greater the
water container is.
Biohole walls use
natural walls with a 0,25 m diameter and a 0.4 m depth or the storage area of
36 m2. Organic material (solid pressed padi straw
waste) is used as a place for microbial populations/microbial sources. The top
is coated with a 5 cm thick rock which acts as an energy-breaking medium. Thus,
when filled with organic material water, it remains stable to maintain the
radial spread of microbes (Widiasmadi, 2019).
The Biohole
volume capacity for that dimension is 0.125 m3, with a catchment of 36 m2 and
the 25 year-discharge = 0.0000841 m3/sec and will be fully filled in about 15
to 20 minutes. This figure considers natural resources in the form of rainfall
intensity of the study area which adjusted to the spread of microbes.
Therefore, the water-emptying phase and the microbial population formulation
phase can take place optimally.
If land is covered by
impermeable surfaces, such as pavement, infiltration cannot occur as the water
cannot infiltrate through an impermeable surface This relationship also leads
to increased runoff. Areas that are impermeable often have storm drains which
drain directly into water bodies, which means no infiltration occurs.
Vegetative cover of the land also impacts the
infiltration capacity. Vegetative cover can lead to more interception of
precipitation, which can decrease intensity leading to less runoff, and more
interception. Increased abundance of vegetation also leads to higher levels of
evapotranspiration which can decrease the amount of infiltration rate. Debris
from vegetation such as leaf cover can also increase infiltration rate by
protecting the soils from intense precipitation events.

Clay Soil Layers
Clay or loam
is a silicate sub-skeletal mineral particle less than 4 micrometers in
diameter. Clays contain fine fused silica and / or aluminum. Of these elements,
silicon, oxygen, and aluminum are the most abundant elements that make up the
earth's crust. Clay is formed from the weathering of silica rocks by carbonic
acid and partly generated from geothermal activity. The clay forms a hard lump
when dry and sticky when it gets wet. This property is determined by the type
of clay minerals that dominate it. Clay minerals are classified based on the
arrangement of layers of silicon oxide and aluminum oxide which form their
crystals. Group 1: 1 has a layer of one silicon oxide and one aluminum oxide,
while group 2: 1 has two layers of the silicon oxide group sandwiching one
layer of aluminum oxide. Class 2: 1 clay minerals have strong elastic
properties, shrinking when dry and expanding when wet. It is because of this
behavior that some types of soil can form wrinkles or "cracks" when
dry.
Clay minerals
consist mainly of aluminum or iron silicates and magnesium. Some of them also
contain alkaline or alkaline earth as a basic component. These minerals consist
mainly of crystals in which the atoms which compose them are arranged in a
particular geometric pattern. Most clay minerals have a layered structure. Some
of them have an elongated cylindrical or fibrous structure.
A cluster is a
thinly layered pile of units or a collection of cylindrical or fiber units. The
soil mass usually contains a mixture of several clay minerals which are named
according to the largest clay minerals with varying amounts of other non-clay
minerals. Clay minerals are very small (less than 2μm) and are electrochemically
active particles that can only be seen with an electron microscope.
Characteristics of Soft Clay Soil
Soft clay soil
is a cohesive soil consisting of soil mostly consisting of very small grains
such as clay or silt. The nature of soft clay soil layers is its small shear
force, large compression, small permeability coefficient and low bearing
capacity compared to other clay soils. In general, soft clay soils have the
following characteristics:
a.
Low soil shear strength.
b.
Shear strength decreases when the water content
increases.
c.
Reduced shear strength if the soil structure is
disturbed.
d.
When wet, it is plastic and easily compresses.
e.
Shrinks when dry and expands when wet
f.
The compatibility is great.
g.
Changes in volume with increasing time due to
crawling under constant load.
h.
Is a waterproof material
Soil Physic-Chemical Mechanism
Water entering
between soil particles, for example Montmorillonite, will cause the distance
between the base units to increase so that this causes an increase in soil
volume. Water is attracted to the surrounding particles which causes a
reduction in the effective stress of the soil and reduces the binding stress
between the particle units.
Swelling is
caused by minerals in the clay. Clays that contain lots of Montmorillonite will
have a greater swelling rate than soils that contain Kaolinite. The amount of
swelling is determined by soil chemistry or the number of cations in the soil,
especially with higher valences height which functions as a binder between clay
particles and reduces the enlargement of the distance between the particles.
So, soil shrinkage can be reduced by adding cations to the soil. These cations
are positive ions K +, Ca ++, Mg ++ which are obtained from carbonate
compounds. This soil type is widely distributed in the Demak
plains area.

Rate Clay soil fertility simulation based on the number of microbial
populations with
� Varibale 1 = Microbial Population 10 8 / cfu.
� Varibale 2 = Microbial Population 10 5 / cfu.
� Varibale 3 = Microbial Population 10 3 / cfu.
The initial nutrient content
prior to the simulation using the Electrolyte Conductivity (EC) parameter is
744 uS / cm. Soil nutrient conditions will be
improved based on total organic farming standards, namely plant growth
(vegetative period) which requires soil nutrients at least 1000 uS / cm and fertilization period (generative period) which
requires soil nutrients at least 1500 uS / cm.
Simulation results based on the variable number of
microbial populations are produced:
1.
Simulation A: To start the
growth period (vegetative) is achieved on the 18th day with a
fertility rate (Electrolyte Conductivity) = 1050 uS /
cm and in the generative period it is reached on the 27th day with a
fertility level (Electrolyte Conductivity) = 1525 uS
/ cm. This activity is stimulated by microbes with a population = 10 8 /
cfu. So that the time needed to reach optimal
nutrient levels is 9 days.
2.
Simulation B: To start the
growth period (vegetative) is achieved on the 27th day with a
fertility rate (Electrolyte Conductivity) = 1020 uS /
cm and at the generative period it is reached on the 42nd day with a
fertility rate (Electrolyte Conductivity) = 1500 uS /
cm. This activity is stimulated by microbes with a population = 10 5 /
cfu. So the time needed to
reach optimal nutrient levels is 15 days
3.
Simulation C: to start the
growth period (vegetative) is achieved on day 34 with a fertility rate
(Electrolyte Conductivity) = 1015 uS / cm and during
the generative period it cannot be observed because on observation until day 45
the electrolyte conductivity has not reach = 1500 uS
/ cm. This activity is stimulated by microbes with a population = 10 3 /
cfu.

The soil parameters mentioned above can be
controlled against the level of the infiltration rate, where the infiltration
rate graph shows a constant value at a level of 4 to 10 cm / hour which is
reached after the 30th day. While the EC value in stable conditions is achieved
on day 30 with a value between 325 - 345 uS / cm. So
that the activity of biological agents on Andosol soil with the infiltration
level will be optimal on day 40.
Conclusion
In clay soils, the time for
the initial nutrient increase to reach the EC standard for vegetative growth is
longer than the time to reach the generative period. Technically, clay soil has
a fairly good bearing capacity as agricultural land for all commodities because
it is able to reach nutrient levels for the generative period quite quickly,
which is only 15 days. The carrying capacity as good agricultural land is
because it is supported by a sufficient microbial population, or vice versa,
the carrying capacity of the land will decrease with a decrease in the number
of microbial populations due to the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Excessive use of inorganic / chemical fertilizers and pesticides will increase
soil acidity and kill soil microbes so that it will reduce the alluvial soil
bearing capacity both in the short and long term.
