Abstract

The application of organic substance (manure) and crop diversity have positive impact on improving soil organic matter to promote plant growth and the life of soil biota. Earthworm is a member of soil biota important to enhance soil fertility and known as indicator of soil quality. The objective of this study was to know the effect of goat manure and vegetable crop rotation on the population and biomass of earthworm. The research was conducted in privately owned young coffee plantation in Sumberjaya area, West Lampung from December 2007 to June 2009. Treatments were arranged in a split plot design where dosages of goat manure (0, 5, and 7.5 ton/ha) as main plot and vegetable crop rotation as subplot. The three cropping patterns were continuous planting of legume vegetable, legume followed by non legume vegetables, and continuous non legume vegetables for four consecutive seasons. Results showed that dosages of goat manure at 7.5 ton/ha significantly increased the number and biomass of earthworm. We found three earthworm species, namely Pontoscolex corethrurus (anesic/endogeic), Malabiria levis (endogeic) and Drawina sp. (endogeic). Continuous planting of legume vegetable (bean and yard-long bean) promoted highest number of earthworm population and biomass. The benefit of goat manure application was not only to improve soil structure and plant nutrient absorption but also to bring in food source for earthworm.
