Abstract

Penurunan kesuburan tanah akibat degradasi lahan dan penggunaan pupuk kimia yang berlebihan menjadi tantangan utama dalam peningkatan produktivitas pertanian di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan dan menguji amelioran organik yang terbuat dari arang sekam, ampas kopi, dan ampas teh (2:1:1) sebagai solusi untuk memperbaiki kualitas tanah dan meningkatkan pertumbuhan tanaman melon. Metode penelitian menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) dengan empat perlakuan: tanah kontrol (A1), tanah dengan arang sekam (A2), tanah dengan pupuk kandang (A3), dan tanah dengan amelioran (A4). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan amelioran (A4) secara signifikan lebih unggul dibandingkan perlakuan lainnya. Amelioran (A4) mampu meningkatkan kandungan C-Organik tanah hingga 3.18%, menaikkan kapasitas tukar kation (KTK) menjadi 20.50 Cmol kg-1, dan menetralkan pH tanah ke level 6.20. Perbaikan sifat fisik dan kimia tanah ini berdampak positif pada pertumbuhan vegetatif tanaman melon, di mana perlakuan amelioran menghasilkan tinggi tanaman (48.6 cm), jumlah daun (13.6 helai), dan panjang akar (56.8 cm) tertinggi. Kesimpulannya, formula amelioran dari arang sekam, ampas kopi, dan ampas teh menunjukkan efek sinergis yang efektif dalam memperbaiki kesehatan tanah dan mendukung pertumbuhan tanaman secara optimal, serta berpotensi mengurangi ketergantungan pada pupuk anorganik.
