Soybean varieties suitability in agroforestry system with kayu putih under influence of soil quality parameters 1 This work is part of the first authors research project.

ABSTRACT

The existence of soybean varieties and soil type interaction causes differences in productivity of soybean varieties in agroforestry systems with kayu putih. Soil quality parameters (physical, chemical and biological characteristics) will affect the productivity of soybean varieties. The objective of this study was to reveal the relationship between soil quality parameters with soybean varieties suitability in agroforestry system with kayu putih over three locations in which their soil type were different, i.e. Lithic Haplusterts, Ustic Epiaquerts and Vertic Haplustalfs. The study was conducted from May to August, 2018 in Menggoran Forest Resort, Playen District, Gunungkidul Regency, Special Province of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The highest yield of soybean per hectare on Dering I grown in Lithic Haplusterts and Ustic Epiaquerts was 1.38 and 1.27 tons.ha-1, respectively, while Grobogan in Ustic Epiaquerts 1.24 tons.ha-1. Dering I showed the mean of the highest yield and most suitable in all soil types, while Gema showed the mean of the lowest yield and not suitable in all soil types. Soil quality parameters that had a significant influenced on the production of soybean varieties in agroforestry systems with kayu putih were chemical characteristic consisting of availability of P, Mg, NH4 +, Mn and Ca.

INTRODUCTION

Soybean is the leading commodity for food security in Indonesia. Consumption of soybean per year was projected to continuously rise from 812 thousand tons in 2005 to 946 thousand tons in 2020, indicating an average increase of 1.02% per year. Besides, the average population growth within the same period was also projected as 1.40% per year. Thus, the total soybean production was projected to increase from 1.84 million tons in 2005 to 2.64 million tons in 2020, or an average rise of 2.44% per year (Sudaryanto and Swastika, 2016Sudaryanto T & Swastika KS (2016) Soybean economic in Indonesia.

).

The space between kayu putih stands can be used as an alternative to soybean cultivation. Soybean could be intercropped with kayu putih (Suryanto et al., 2017bSuryanto P, Tohari, Sulistyaningsih E, Putra ETS, Kastono D & Alam T (2017b) Estimation of critical period for weed control in soybean on agroforestry system with kayu putih. Asian Journal of Crop Science, 9:82-91.). This is possible because kayu putih trees were pruned routinely to harvest the leaves, thus the shade factor did not affect annual crops. Agroforestry with kayu putih could be done continuously for 30 years (Suwignyo et al., 2015Suwignyo B, Suryanto P, Putra ETS, Alam T & Prianto SDA (2015) Potential of corn as forage on alfisol and vertisol soil in agrosilvopastural system with kayu putih (Melaleuca leucadendron Linn.). Journal of Agricultural Science, 7:268-276.).

One of the easiest and cheapest technologies to increase soybean productivity is the introduction of new varieties that have high yield potential (Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development, 2007Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development (2007) Integrated of crop management for irrigated rice fields. Available at: Available at: http://bbpadi.litbang.pertanian.go.id/index.php/publikasi/panduan-teknis/pengelolaan-tanaman-terpadu-ptt-padi-lahan-sawah-irigasi . Accessed on: April 2, 2019.

). However, varieties that have high yields in one soil type are not necessarily suitable and stable for all soil types. That is causes there is G x E interaction (Gauch, 2006Gauch HG (2006) Statistical analysis of yield trials by AMMI and GGE. Crop Science, 46:1488-1500.; Piepho et al., 2016Piepho HP, Nazir MF, Qamar M, Rattu AUR, Din RU, Hussain M, Ahmad G, Subhan FE, Ahmad J, Abdullah A, Laghari KB, Vistro IA, Kakar MS, Sial MA & Imtiaz M (2016) Stability analysis for a countrywide series of wheat trials in Pakistan. Crop Science, 56:2465-2475.). Krisnawati & Adie (2018Krisnawati A & Adie MM (2018) Yield stability of soybean promising lines across environments. IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 102:012044.) reported that G2 and G6 genotype were considered as high yielding and stable promising lines of soybean across environments in which their soil type, seasonal rainfall, and altitude.

The sustainability of soybean varieties productivity can be done by selecting suitable and stable soybean varieties in various soil types. It can maximize the potential yield of these varieties and reduced fertilizer input (European Union, 2012European Union (2012) Sustainable agriculture for the future we want. International Cooperation and Development, European Commission, Brussels, Belgium.). Alam et al., (2019Alam T, Suryanto P, Nurmalasari AI & Kurniasih B (2019) GGE-Biplot analysis for the suitability of soybean varieties in an agroforestry system based on kayu putih (Melaleuca cajuputi) stands. Caraka Tani: Journal of Sustainable Agriculture, 34:213-222.) reported that Dering I and Devon I varieties had higher stability as well as higher mean of yield and Burangrang, Grobogan and Gema gave medium-high yield and poor yield with poor adaptation. However, the unknown soil quality parameters are a limiting factor for soybean production.

Soil quality is one of the three components of environmental quality in addition to air and water quality. Soil quality is an assessment of how the soil functions and prepared for the future (Andrews et al., 2002Andrews SS, Karlen DL & Mitchell JP (2002) A comparison of soil quality indexing methods for vegetable production system in Northern California. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 90:25-45.; Makalew, 2011Makalew AM (2011) Determination of minimum data set (mds) and soil quality index base on sustainable land management. Master Dissertation. Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta. 2p.). Soil quality depends on a specific soil type and the maintenance of plant and animal sustainability (Andrews et al., 2004Andrews SS, Karlen DL & Cambardella CA (2004) The soil management assessment framework: A quantitative soil quality evaluation method. Soil Science Society of America Journal, 68:1945-1962.). Integration of soil chemical, physical and biological attributes is the concept of soil quality that is dynamic and sensitive to soil management practices (Bilgili et al., 2017Bilgili AV, Kucuk C & van Es HM (2017) Assessment of the quality of the Harran Plain soils under long-term cultivation. Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 189:460. ). Qi et al. (2009Qi YB, Darilek JL, Huang B, Zhao YC, Sun WX & Gu ZQ (2009) Evaluating soil quality indices in an agricultural region of Jiangsu Province, China. Geoderma , 149:325-334.) stated that soil quality evaluation using soil quality measurement could reduce data and saved time and money. Soil quality affected the successful sustainable production of rice in agroforestry system with kayu putih (Suryanto et al., 2017aSuryanto P, Tohari, Putra ETS & Alam T (2017a) Minimum soil quality determinant for rice and ʻkayu putih’ yield under hilly areas. Journal of Agronomy, 16:115-123.).

Several studies related to soil quality assessment showed different land evaluation parameters. Soil quality measurement was very dependent on the diversity of location, scale, land management and research objective (Rousseau et al., 2012Rousseau GX, Deheuvels O, Arias IR & Somarriba E (2012) Indicating soil quality in cocao-based agroforestry system and old-growth forests: The potential of soil macrofauna assemblages. Ecological Indicators, 23:535-543.). Studies related to soil quality assessment had been carried out in the same location for rice. Suryanto et al. (2017aSuryanto P, Tohari, Putra ETS & Alam T (2017a) Minimum soil quality determinant for rice and ʻkayu putih’ yield under hilly areas. Journal of Agronomy, 16:115-123.) showed that soil quality parameters that play a role in rice productivity in agroforestry with kayu putih were amount of soil microorganisms, availability of phosphorus and exchange of potassium.

Soil quality parameters consisting of physical, chemical and biological characters in each soil types in the study location will affect the production and suitability of soybean varieties. The prediction of soil quality parameters for each soybean varieties suitability is expected for monitoring and evaluating the production of soybean varieties in different soil types. The objective of this study was to reveal the relationship between soil quality parameters with soybean varieties suitability in agroforestry system with kayu putih. This study would help researchers uncover critical areas of soybean cultivation on agroforestry system with kayu putih that many researchers could not be able to explore. Thus, a new theory on limiting factors in each soybean varieties might arise.

MATERIAL AND METHOD

The experiment was conducted in Menggoran Forest Resort, Playen District, Gunungkidul Regency, Special Province of Yogyakarta, Indonesia from May to August 2018. This area was located ±43 km to the south-east of Yogyakarta City (Figure 1).

Figure 1:
Geographical locations of the study area (latitude 7º 52` 59.5992`` S to 7º 59` 41.1288`` S and longitude 110º 26` 21.462``E to 110º 35` 7.4868`` E)

The soybean varieties were from Indonesian Legumes and Tuber Crops Research Institute in Malang Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia. The experimental plots cover an area of 24 m2 (6 x 4 m) in the area between kayu putih stands and the harvest area of 20 m2, excluding the border rows. The plant spacing was 40 x 20 cm. No fertilization and pesticide were carried out in this study. Irrigation did not performed because the field used in this study was rainfed area.

The experiment used a Randomized Complete Block (RCB) design with five blocks as replication. The first factor was soil type in Menggoran Forest Resort consisting of Lithic Haplusterts, Ustic Epiaquerts and Vertic Haplustalfs. The second factor was soybean varieties consisting of Anjasmoro, Argomulyo, Burangrang, Demas I, Dering I, Devon I, Gema and Grobogan.

The soil quality parameters observed was soil properties (physical, chemical and biologycal characteristic) (Table 1). Soil quality parameters observation was carried out at the research site, at the General Soil and General Microbiology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Gadjah Mada, the Special Province of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The observation of soybean yield was seed dry weight per hectare. Soybean seed was dried under sunlight to 11 % of moisture level (Suryanto et al., 2017a).

Procedure methods for measurements of each indicator

The models must be evaluated so that assumptions can be fulfilled. The normality test was carried out using the Kolmogorov test and Q-Q plot (Moncada et al., 2014Moncada MP, Gabriels D & Cornelis WM (2014) Data-driven analysis of soil quality parameters using limited data. Geoderma, 235-236:271-278.). MANOVA was used to determine the significant effects on assessed physical, chemical and biological variables. F-statistics and Wiks’ Lambada tests obtained from MANOVA are used to test the null hypothesis regarding overall treatment (Hatcher & Stepanski, 1994Hatcher L & Stepanski EJ (1994) A step-by-step approach to using the sas system for univariate and multivariate statistics. North Carolina, SAS Institute. 279p.). Two-way ANOVA was used to test the yield of soybean varieties in different soil type, and the separation of means was subject to Tukey’s HSD (α = 5%) (Hinkelman & Kempthorne, 2008Hinkelman K & Kempthorne O (2008) Design and analysis of experiments volume 1. 2nd ed. New Jersey, John Wiley and Sons. 278p.).

Soybean varieties suitability were graphically analyzed for interpreting GE interaction using the PCA-Biplot. PCA-Biplot analysis, which consisted of two concepts, the biplot concept (Gabriel, 1971Gabriel KR (1971) The biplot graphic display of matrices with application to principal component analysis. Biometrica, 58:453-467.) was employed to visually analyze the soybean varieties in each soil type trial. The PCA-Biplot graphic was made in RStudio (RStudio Team, 2015RStudio Team (2015) RStudio: Integrated development for R. Available at: Available at: http://www.rstudio.com/ . Accessed on: April 2, 2019.

) using pca3d package (Weiner et al., 2012Weiner J, Shreemanta KP, Jeroen M, Gillian FB, Dirk R, Anna T & Robert PM (2012) Biomarkers of inflammation, immunosuppression and stress with active disease are revealed by metabolomic profiling of tuberculosis patients. PLoS ONE, 7:e40221.).

One-way ANOVA, factor Analysis and stepwise regression were used to relationship between the soil quality parameters with soybean varieties suitability (Andrews et al., 2002Andrews SS, Karlen DL & Mitchell JP (2002) A comparison of soil quality indexing methods for vegetable production system in Northern California. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 90:25-45.; Govaerts et al., 2006Govaerts B, Sayre KD & Deckers J (2006) A minimum data set for soil quality assessment of wheat and maize cropping in the highlands of Mexico. Soil and Tillage Research, 87:163-174.; Smith et al., 1993Smith JL, Halvorson JJ & Papendick RI (1993) Using multiple-variable indicator kriging for evaluating soil quality. Soil Science Society of America Journal , 57:743-749.). MANOVA, ANOVA, Factor Analysis and Stepwise regression were carried out using SAS software version 9.4 for Windows. Statistical analysis was carried out by PROC GLM, MIXED, PRINCOMP, FACTOR and REG (SAS Institute Inc, 2013SAS Institute Inc (2013) Base SAS® 9.4. procedures guide: Statistical procedures. 2nd ed. North Carolina, SAS Institute Inc. 263p.).

RESULT AND DISCUSSION

The study site had an ustic moisture regime. Ustic moisture is a soil regime containing limited moisture but is suitable for plant growth when the environmental conditions favour (Boettinger et al., 2015Boettinger J, Chiaretti J, Ditzler C, Galbraith J, Kerschen K, Loerch C, McDaniel P, McVey S, Monger C, Owens P, Ransom M, Scheffe K, Shaw J, Stolt M & Weindorf D (2015) Illustrated guide to soil taxonomy version 2. Lincoln, USDA / Natural Resources Conservation Service / National Soil Survey Center. 133p.). The altitude of the study site varied from 100 to 200 meters above sea level. The air temperature ranged between 24.80 to 26.40 °C. The relative humidity ranged between 81.90 % and 86.50 %. The total rainfall in the study area was 2,005 mm year-1. The macro and micro climates in the study site were highly suitable for soybean cultivation (Djaenudin et al., 2011Djaenudin D, Marwan H, Subagjo H & Hidayat A (2011) Technical instructions land evaluation for agricultural commodities. Bogor, Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development / Ministry of Agriculture. 48p.).

Lithic Haplusterts was included into the Vertisol soil type that had a shallow solum and rock contact of 50 cm from the surface. Vertic Haplustalfs was Alfisol soil type with vertic characteristic. Ustic Epiaquerts was Vertisol soil type that had fracture of >5 mm and thickness of >25 cm for 90 days each year in a reasonable condition when it was not irrigated (Soil Survey Staff, 2014Soil Survey Staff (2014) Key to soil taxonomy version 2. Lincoln, U.S. Department of Agriculture / Natural Resources Conservation Service, National Soil Survey Center. 43p. ). In general soybean was suitable to be planted in Lithic Haplusterts and Vertic Haplusterts. However, it was marginally suitable to be planted in Ustic Epiaquerts because the land was flooded during the wet season (Djaenudin et al., 2011Djaenudin D, Marwan H, Subagjo H & Hidayat A (2011) Technical instructions land evaluation for agricultural commodities. Bogor, Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development / Ministry of Agriculture. 48p.).

The result of two-way ANOVA (p < 0.05) showed that there was an interaction between soil type and soybean varieties concerning the yield of soybean per hectare (Figure 2). The highest yields were produced by Dering I varieties cultivated at Lithic Haplusterts and Ustic Epiaquerts, namely 1.38 and 1.27 tons.ha-1 respectively and in Grobogan at Ustic Epiaquerts of 1.24 tons.ha-1. Soybean varieties showed difference in yield per hectare when grown in Lithic Haplusterts, Ustic Epiaquerts and Vertic Haplustalfs. This was due to the G × E interaction so that each soybean varieties response differently to each soil types (Alam et al., 2019Alam T, Suryanto P, Nurmalasari AI & Kurniasih B (2019) GGE-Biplot analysis for the suitability of soybean varieties in an agroforestry system based on kayu putih (Melaleuca cajuputi) stands. Caraka Tani: Journal of Sustainable Agriculture, 34:213-222.). The relationship between productivity and soil was very complex and highly dependent on the physical, chemical and biological nature of the soil and external factors (Adams, 2016Adams TC (2016) Soil and plant property differences among high-yield soybean areas in Arkansas. Master Dissertation. University of Arkansasa, Fayetteville. 58p.; Sys et al., 1991Sys C, Van Ranst E & Debaveye J (1991) Land evaluation part 1: Principles in land evaluation and crop production calculations. Brussels, General Administration for Development Cooperation. 53p.).

Principal component analysis (PCA) Biplots of the total data set of soil quality parameters were performed with varimax rotation (orthogonal) (Ayoubi et al., 2009Ayoubi S, Khormali F & Sahrawat KL (2009) Relationship of barley biomass and grain yields to soil properties within a field in the arid region: Use of factor analysis. Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B - Soil & Plant Science, 59:107-117.; Cox et al., 2003Cox MS, Gerard DP, Wardlaw MC & Abshire MJ (2003) Variability of selected soil properties and their relationships with soybean yield.

Soil Science, 169:215-224.). The results of PCA Biplot showed that Dering I had the mean of highest yield and was suitable for all soil types. Different things were showed by Gema, which had the mean of lowest yield and was not suitable in all soil types. The position of Anjasmoro varieties in the center point. This can be interpreted that Anjasmoro had the mean of moderate yield and suitable for all soil types(Figure 3).

Xu et al. (2014Xu FF, Tang FF, Shao YF, Chen YL, Tong C & Bao JS (2014). Genotype x environment interaction for agronomic traits of rice revealed by association mapping. Rice Science, 21:133-141.) reported that the presence of G x E interactions gave different responses to rice yields to variations in soil types in various locations. Jandoung et al. (2011Jandoung EA, Uguru M & Benedict O (2011) Determination of yield stability of some soybean genotypes (Glycine max (L.) merr) across diverse soil pH levels using GGE biplot analysis. Journal of Applied Biosciences, 43:2924-2941.) reported that soybean cultivars ‘Kyado’ and ‘Sebore’ have a good performance in soil with pH ranged from 5.5 to 6.5 and have a relative tolerance to moderate acidic soil. It depended on the genetics of each plant (Klee & Tieman, 2013Klee HJ & Tieman DM (2013) Genetic challenges of flavor improvement in tomato. Trends in Genetics, 29:257-267.). Giller et al. (2011Giller KE, Tittonell P, Rufino MC, van Wijk MT, Zingore S, Mapfumo P, Adjeinsiah S, Herrero M, Chikowo R, Corbeels M, Rowe EC, Baijukya F, Mwijage A, Smith J, Yeboah E, van der Burg WJ, Sanogo OM, Misiko M, de Ridder N, Karanja S, Kaizzi C, K’ungu J, Mwale M, Nwaga D, Pacini C & Vanlauwe B (2011) Communicating complexity: Integrated assessment of trade-offs concerning soil fertility management within African farming system to support innovation and development. Agricultural Systems, 104:191-203.) suggested that each plant had a different response in absorbing nutrients, fertilizers and lime applications on a site. This showed that the soil had high heterogeneity that affected plant growth.

The result of MANOVA with physical and chemical properties showed a very significant difference and significant difference of (< 0.000**) and (0.019*) respectively but the biological property showed no significant difference (0.508ns). These indices represent the cumulative effects of different soil properties (physical, chemical and biology) as an index from the role of each indicator in soil quality (Drury et al., 2003Drury CF, Zhang TQ & Kay BD (2003) The non-limiting and least limiting water ranges for soil nitrogen mineralization. Soil Science Society of America Journal , 67:1388-1404.).

One-way ANOVA was applied on the twenty-four parameters used at different land effecting soil quality parameters (Table 2). The result of ANOVA on the soil quality parameters showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) and had a coefficient of variance of <40% consisting of % clay, % silt, % sand, ASM, CEC, pH H2O, EC, available NH4 +, P, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn and Cu (Table 2). Those parameters were maintained for continued factor analysis. Factor analysis is the commonly used because of its ability to group related soil properties into a small set of independent factors and to reduce the original data set (Andrews et al., 2002Andrews SS, Karlen DL & Mitchell JP (2002) A comparison of soil quality indexing methods for vegetable production system in Northern California. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 90:25-45.).

Tabel 2:
One way analysis of variance (ANOVA) of soil quality parameters

Factor analysis was provided to classify the soil quality parameters into a small set of independent factors and reduced the original data set. The result of the factor analysis showed three sets of soil quality factors formed (Table 3). Factor 1 consisted of % clay, % silt, % sand, CEC, EC, P, Ca, Fe, Mn and Cu. Factor 2 consisted of P and Mg. Factor 3 consisted of % sand and NH4 + (Table 3). The final result of the factor analysis showed that % clay, % silt, % sand, CEC, EC, P, Ca, Fe, Mn, Cu, Mg and NH4 + were suitable to proceed to the stepwise regression analysis since it had a communality value of higher than 0.5.

Table 3:
Factor analysis with varimax rotation of physical, chemical and biological properties of soil

Factor analysis is widely considered as a suitable method for highly correlated environmental data (Shukla et al., 2004aShukla MK, Lal R & Ebinger M (2004a) Soil quality indicators for reclaimed minesoils in southeastern Ohio. Soil Science, 169:133-142.; Govaerts et al., 2006Govaerts B, Sayre KD & Deckers J (2006) A minimum data set for soil quality assessment of wheat and maize cropping in the highlands of Mexico. Soil and Tillage Research, 87:163-174.; Yao et al., 2013Yao R, Yang J, Gao P, Zhang J & Jin W (2013) Determining minimum data set for soil quality assessment of typical salt affected farmland in the coastal reclamation area. Soil and Tillage Research , 128:137-148). Varimax rotation enhances the interpretability of the uncorrelate components. The derived factors are designated as soil quality indices or complex indicators.

Stepwise regression analysis was used for screening soil quality parameters that affect the production of soybean varieties suitability (Andrews et al., 2002Andrews SS, Karlen DL & Mitchell JP (2002) A comparison of soil quality indexing methods for vegetable production system in Northern California. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 90:25-45.; Govaerts et al., 2006Govaerts B, Sayre KD & Deckers J (2006) A minimum data set for soil quality assessment of wheat and maize cropping in the highlands of Mexico. Soil and Tillage Research, 87:163-174.; Makalew, 2011Makalew AM (2011) Determination of minimum data set (mds) and soil quality index base on sustainable land management. Master Dissertation. Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta. 2p.; Smith et al., 1993Smith JL, Halvorson JJ & Papendick RI (1993) Using multiple-variable indicator kriging for evaluating soil quality. Soil Science Society of America Journal , 57:743-749.; Suryanto et al., 2017a).

The result of stepwise regression showed that each soybean varieties had a different soil quality parameters limiting factors (Table 4). Each soybean varieties showed a different response to the availability of nutrients in the soil. The soil quality parameters affecting the yield of Argomulyo also showed P (1.094**) and Mg (-0.692*), Burangrang NH4 + (0.569*), Dering I Mn (-0.684**), Devon I Mg (-1.001**) and Ca (0.648*), Gema Mg (-0.902**), while Grobogan NH4 + (0.5328), and P (0.471*). Specifically for Anjasmoro and Demas I, there was no soil quality parameters limiting factors for these varieties.

Table 4:
Stepwise regression analysis of relationship between soil quality parameters with yield of soybean varieties

Positive response was shown by Argomulyo and Grobogan for the availability of P, Burangrang and Grobogan for NH4 + and Devon I for Ca. The increased availability of P in the soil was very significant and significantly increased the yield of Argomulyo and Grobogan. The deficiency of P caused a significant decrease in net photosynthetic rate in rice (Xu et al., 2007Xu HX, Weng XY & Yang Y (2007) Effect of phosphorus deficiency on the photosynthetic characteristics of rice plants. Russian Journal of Plant Physiology, 54:741-748.).

The increased availability of NH4 + in soil was very significant to the increased yield of Grobogan and Burangrang. Nitrogen could be a limiting factor for plant growth after fixed carbon (Marschner, 2011Marschner H (2011) Mineral nutrition of higher plants. 3rd ed. London, Academic Press. 131p.). In a physiological process, urea was an essential internal and external source of N converted to ammonia for N assimilation (Marschner, 2011Marschner H (2011) Mineral nutrition of higher plants. 3rd ed. London, Academic Press. 131p.). Faustino et al. (2015Faustino LI, Moretti AP & Graciano C (2015) Fertilization with urea, ammonium and nitrate produce different effects on growth, hydraulic traits and drought tolerance in Pinus taeda seedlings. Tree Physiology, 35:1062-1074.) informed that NH4 + fertilization could increase the root growth of Pinus taeda in drought stress.

Higher increased availability of Ca in soil significantly increased the yield of Devon I varieties. The result of the research conducted by Domingues et al. (2016Domingues LDS, Ribeiro ND, Andriolo JL, Possobom MTDF, Emanoel A & Zemolin M (2016) Growth, grain yield and calcium, potassium and magnesium accumulation in common bean plants as related to calcium nutrition. Acta Scientiarum Agronomy, 38:207-217.) described that common bean plants with higher Ca concentrations had a high dry weight of shoots and roots, grain yields and Ca concentrations in leaves and seeds.

Negative response was shown by Argomulyo, Devon I and Grobogan against the availability of Mg nutrients; Mn was available in Dering I. The increased availability of Mg was negatively correlated with K availability and the high concentration of Mg caused a decrease in soil calcium content (Venkatesan & Jayaganesh, 2010Venkatesan S & Jayaganesh S (2010) Characterisation of magnesium toxicity, its influence on amino acid synthesis pathway and biochemical parameters of tea. Research Journal of Phytochemistry, 4:67-77.). The high concentration of Mg2+ in cytoplasm could block K+ channel in the inner envelope membrane of chloroplasts and thus inhibited the removal of H+ ions from the chloroplast stroma (Wu et al., 1991Wu CT, Budding M, Griffin MS & Croop JM (1991) Isolation and characterization of drosophila multidrug resistance gene homologs. Molecular and Cellular Biology, 11:3940-3948.).

The yield of Dering I decreased in line with the increased availability of Mn in the soil. Silva et al. (2017Silva DD, Fonte NDSD, Souza KRDD, Brandão IR, Libeck IT & Alves JD (2017) Relationship between manganese toxicity and waterlogging tolerance in Zea mays L. cv. Saracura . Acta Scientiarum Agronomy , 39:75-82.) reported that Mn poisoning in corn might reduce chlorophyll content, plant biomass and plant antioxidant. The translocation of Mn from the root to leaf triggers decreased in chlorophyll content. High Mn concentration caused the increase in ROS accompanied by a higher level of antioxidant enzyme activity and lipid peroxidation (Rao et al., 2016Rao IM, Miles JW, Beebe SE & Horst WJ (2016) Root adaptations to soils with low fertility and aluminium toxicity. Annals of Botany, 118:593-605.).

Based on the result of the study it is recommended for soybean varieties that had high yield in each soil type and the fertilizer used, depending on the limiting factors in each soybean varieties. The suggestion for future study is that an optimum dose for soil quality parameters affecting soybean varieties is determined.

CONCLUSION

The highest yield of soybean per hectare on Dering I grown in Lithic Haplusterts and Ustic Epiaquerts was 1.38 and 1.27 tons.ha-1 respectively while Grobogan in Ustic Epiaquerts 1.24 tons.ha-1.

Dering I showed the mean of the highest yield and most suitable in all soil types, while Gema showed the mean of the lowest yield and not suitable in all soil types.

Soil quality parameters that had a significant influenced on the production of soybean varieties in agroforestry systems with kayu putih were chemical characteristic consisting of availability of P, Mg, NH4 +, Mn and Ca.
