Abstract: Soybean contains
high protein that the yield can be increased as
intercrops in oil palm plantation. The purpose of this research was to
study the application of compost of oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) to physical
characteristic and production of soybean as intercrops among in oil palm
plantation. The research was conducted in oil palm plantation, Faculty of
Agriculture, University of Riau from February to May 2014. The resecarch
carried out experiments used a randomized block design, as treatment is the
application of compost of OPEFB that consist of 4 levels (0, 5, 10 and 15
tons/ha), each of treatment repeated 3 times. The effect of each treatment was
known Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at 5% level. The result of this
research showed that the application of compost of OPEFB with a dose of 5, 10
and 15 tons/ha effected to physical characteristic of soil such as: expedite
permeability, increase the water content and the infiltration rate, but not
effected to the bulk density and pore space total. The application of compost
of OPEFB 5 tons/ha increase the number of pods, pod percentage pithy, weight of
100 seeds and yield per plot are not significant compared with without compost.
The increase the dose of compost of OPEFB to 10 to 15 tons/ha has no effected
on all parameter.
