Abstract


Bojonegoro is a regency in Indonesia located downstream of the Bengawan Solo River, a flood-prone area that caused crop damage and failure. The farmers need appropriate technology as an adaptation to reduce the loss of crop failure. Therefore, this study aims to determine the potential of floating rice cultivation as a solution for reducing crop failure. The experiment was arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design with two factors, namely planting media (soil:organic fertilizer (1:1) (M1); soil:rice husk (1:1) (M2); soil:organic fertilizer:rice husk (1:1:1) (M3)), and plant spacing (15 cm x 15 cm (J1); 20 cm x 20 cm (J2); 25 cm x 25 cm (J3)). Each unit treatment was replicated 3 times. The results showed M2J3 gave the best outcome on plant height of 94.3 cm, the tillers number of 21.7, and produced the highest rice yield of 14.16 tons ha-1. This treatment provides optimal soil conditions, high cation exchange capacity (CEC) of 26.6 cmol (+) kg-1, phosphorus availability (Av-P) 48.5 ppm, and potassium availability 0.9 ppm. The planting media compositions significantly affected soil cation exchange capacity, soil phosphorus availability, plant height, tillers number, and rice yield. The yield on floating rice cultivation was approximately similar when compared to the local farmer's fields. Floating rice cultivation can be used as a solution to reduce crop failure in flood-prone areas in Bojonegoro.
