ABSTRACT
Application of calcite lime has been researched to be able to increase the pH of water and
soil of catfish culture media. Application of lime is not only affected by soil and water pH but
also affected by organic matter as in peat soil that has high organic carbon. This research
aims to know the effect of calcite lime and various C-organic on water and soil pH for culture
of catfish. This research was conducted from July to December 2019 at the Laboratory of
Aquaculture Experimental Pond, Aquaculture Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya
University. This research use Factorial Completely Randomized Design. The first factor is
different dose of calcite lime that are 7000 kg/ha equivalent CaO (K1), 8000 kg/ha equivalent
CaO (K2), 9000 kg/ha equivalent CaO (K3), 10000 kg/ha equivalent CaO (K4). The second factor
is peat soil with different soil organic carbon that are 19.72% (C1) and 59.98% (C2). The results
of this study indicated that K3C1(interaction of dosage of lime 9000 kg/ha equivalent to CaO
and 19.62% C-organic) increased the initial soil pH from 3.2 to 7.43, and water pH from 3.2 to
7.33, and produces 100% survival of catfish, absolute growth of length 9.08cm and absolute
growth of weight 4.60 g.

ABSTRACT
The application of calcite lime has been investigated to increase the pH of water and
soil in catfish rearing ponds. The use of lime is not only influenced by the pH value of the
soil and water, but is also influenced by the organic matter content of the soil in the
maintenance media, such as in peatlands which have high organic C. This study aims to
determine the effect of calcite lime and peat soil with different C-organic contents on the
pH of water and soil of catfish rearing media. This research was conducted from July to
December 2019 at the Aquaculture Experimental Pond Laboratory, Aquaculture Study
Program, Sriwijaya University Faculty of Agriculture. This study used a Completely
Randomized Factorial Design (RALF). The first factor is the difference in the dose of calcite
lime, which is 7000 kg/ha equivalent to CaO (K1), 8000 kg/ha CaO equivalent (K2), 9000 kg/
ha CaO equivalent (K3), 10000 kg/ha equivalent to CaO (K4). The second factor is peat soil
with different soil organic C content, namely 19.72% (C1) and 59.98% (C2). The results of
this study indicate that the K . treatment3C1(intraction of lime at a dose of 9000 kg/ha
equivalent to CaO and C-organic 19.72%) was able to increase pH

PRELIMINARY
Indonesia has a swamp area of 33.4 million hectares (Suriadikarta, 2012).

Cultivation of catfish (Pangasiussp.) in swamps is constrained by the low pH value
which generally contains a pH of 3-4 (Sumantriyadi, 2014). Based on BSN (2002)
the tolerance limit for the pH value for cultivating catfish ranges from 6.5 to 8.5.
Calcification efforts were made to overcome this. According to Boydet al.(2002),
liming can be done to neutralize acidity in the soil and increase the concentration
of total alkalinity and total hardness in the waters. Limestone materials commonly
used in cultivation include agricultural lime (calcium carbonate/dolomite),
hydrated lime, and burnt lime/quick lime(Boyd, 1998).
According to Kordi and Tancung (2007), the lime commonly used for liming is
calcite lime (CaCO3). Based on Nugraha's research (2018), the use of 7000 kg/ha
calcite can increase the pH of swamp water from 3.4 to 7.9 and soil pH from 3.4 to
7.7 and results in 100% survival, growth in absolute weight of 17.99 g, absolute
length growth 8.26 g. Saputra's research (2018), states that the use of calcite lime
at a dose of 7000 kg/ha can increase the pH of swamp water from 3.6 to 7.8 and
soil pH from 3.6 to 7.9 and results in 100% survival, absolute weight growth. 10.80
g, and absolute length growth of 6.00 g. Both studies were carried out on swamp
soil with a 6.58% organic content.
According to Boyd (1998) the need for lime in liming fish farming ponds is also
influenced by the organic matter content of the soil. According to Hanafiah (2005)
that the composition of organic matter in swamps is generally very high, due to
the decay of plants. According to McCauleyet al.(2017) soils with a high amount of
organic matter generally have a higher cation exchange capacity and therefore
have a buffering capacity orbufferhigher. The constant or value of the organic-to-
organic C-conversion factor for agricultural soils ranged from 1.724 to 2.0. The
conversion factor value was obtained based on 58% carbon content in organic
matter (Nelson and Sommers, 1996). Soils contain varying levels of C-Organic,
mineral soils usually contain C-organic between 1% to 9%, while peat soils and
organic layers of forest soils can contain 40% to 50% C-organic (Tarigan, 2018).
The test results at 2 different sampling locations in the Mariana and Rambutan
areas, namely 19.72% and 59.98% (Baristand Industri Palembang). Therefore, it is
necessary to do research on the application of liming using calcite lime on soils
with different C-organic contents. different to get the optimal dose of calcite for
catfish culture.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The materials used in this study included catfish (5±0.6 cm long), swamp water,
commercial pellets (30% protein content), peat soil (
ISBN: 978-623-399-012-7
C-organic soil 19.72% and 59.98%) and calcite lime ± 40 kg. The tools used in this
research include water tanks, tarpaulin ponds, pH meters, rulers, and digital
scales.
Experimental design
The experimental design used in this study was a factorial completely
randomized design (RALF) with two treatment factors. The first factor is 4
treatments of different doses of calcite lime (K17000; K28000; K39000 and K410000
kg/ha CaO equivalent) and the second factor is peat soil with soil organic C
content of 19.75% (C1) and 59.98% (C2), with 3 replications.
Ways of working
Research Preparation
Research preparation includes preparation of calcite lime, maintenance containers,
preparation of water and pond bottom soil. Calcite lime used as much as ± 40 kg. The
maintenance container used is a tarpaulin pond measuring 1 x 1 x 1 m3as many as 24 pieces.
The study was carried out with an open system (a pool without a roof) and in each pond was
given aoutletat the top of the pool. The maintenance media water was taken from the
Mariana and Rambutan areas with ±6000 liters each. The bottom soil of the pond was taken
from the Mariana and Rambutan areas, each ± 3700 kg.
Subgrade Liming
The soil that has been taken is then dried by drying in the sun, then sieved
using a waring with a size of 2 mm and put into each maintenance container with
a soil height of 15 cm from the bottom of the maintenance container. Liming is
carried out by sprinkling calcite lime evenly on the soil surface and stirring evenly,
then the soil is left for ± 15 days under field capacity water content conditions so
that the lime can react with the soil. During the incubation period, soil pH was
measured daily.
Water Filling
The maintenance container, which has been filled with subgrade and limed, is filled with swamp
water that has been accommodated. The water level is about 50 cm above the subgrade. The water was
left for 8 days before stocking the fish, so that there was a balance between the water and the soil.
During the 8 days, the pH of the water was measured every day.
Pisciculture
Fish that have been prepared are acclimatized in advance in the rearing pond.
There are 15 fish stocked in the pond. Before stocking the fish, the fish were
weighed and the length was measured. During rearing, the fish are given
commercial feed (30% protein content) with regular feedingat satiation.The
frequency of feeding was three times a day, namely at 08.00, 12.00 and 16.00
WIB. Fish were kept for 30 days.
Observed Variables
The variables observed in this study included soil and water pH measured on
days 0, 10, 20 and 30 of fish rearing, survival, growth of absolute weight and
length of fish.

Data analysis
Data on water and soil pH, survival, growth of absolute weight and length of fish were
tested using analysis of variance (ANSIRA) at 95% confidence interval. Against the treatment
that had a significant effect, continued with the analysis of the Least Significant Difference
(BNT) further test.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Soil acidity (pH)

The results of the analysis of variance showed that the treatment of different doses of
calcite lime (K1, K2, K3, and K4) had a significant effect on the pH value of the soil during
incubation (15 days). BNT further test results0.05Table 1 shows that from day 11 to day 15
lime with a dose of 10,000 kg/ha (K4) was significantly higher than the dose treatment of
7,000 kg/ha (K1) and 8,000 kg/ha (K2) but not significantly different compared to the
treatment at a dose of 9,000 kg/ha (K3).

BNT further test resultsα0.05showed on the 3rd, 8th, 9th, 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th day of
incubation soil pH on the interaction of lime dose treatment of 10,000 kg/ha and C-organic
content of 19.72% (K4C1) was significantly higher than the other treatments, but not
significantly different from soil pH in the interaction treatment with a lime dose of 9,000 kg/ha
and a C-organic content of 19.72% (K3C1). Based on these results indicate that the pH value of
the soil will be higher at high doses of liming and low organic C.
The results of the analysis of variance showed that the treatment with different doses of
lime (K) had a significant effect on soil pH on days 0.10,20,30 fish rearing. Meanwhile, the

BNT further test resultsα0.05(Table 4) shows that the soil pH in the K . treatment
3C1(interaction dose of lime 9000 kg/ha equivalent to CaO and Corganic 19.72%)
was significantly higher than the other treatments, but on days 10, 20, and 30 it
was not significantly different from K4(10000 kg/ha CaO equivalent). The results of
the study by Nugraha (2018) used calcite lime (CaCO3) with a dose of 7,000 Kg/ha
equivalent to CaO (P1) can produce soil pH from 3.4 to 7.7 with a soil organic C
content of 6.58%. While in this study with a dose of lime 9000 kg/ha equivalent to
CaO (K3) and soil organic C content of 19.72% (K3C1) was able to increase the pH
value of the soil from 3.2 to 7.43, while the same dose of lime with 59.98% C-
organic content was only able to increase the soil pH value from 3.2 to 6.67. This
is in accordance with McCauley's statementet al.(2017) that soils with a high
amount of organic matter generally have a higher cation exchange capacity and
thus have a buffering capacity orbufferhigher. So it takes lime with a higher dose
in soil with a greater C-organic content to increase soil pH.
Degree of Acidity (pH) of Water

The results of the analysis of the various treatment doses of lime (K) had a significant effect on the pH of the
water on day 0 and day 1 of incubation. Meanwhile, in the treatment the C-organic content of the soil had a
significant effect on the pH on days 0.1, 4, and 5 during incubation. BNT Advanced Test Resultsα0.05The pH of the
incubation water for the treatment with different doses of lime (K) and the treatment for the difference in the C-
organic content of the soil (C) are presented in Table 5.
BNT further test resultsα0.05(Table 5) shows that the pH of the water in the K . treatment4
(10000 kg/ha CaO equivalent) on the 2nd day was significantly higher than the pH of the
water in the K . treatment1(7000 kg/ha CaO equivalent), K2(8000 kg/ha CaO equivalent) and K3
(9000 kg/ha CaO equivalent). Meanwhile, the treatment of soil C-organic content of
19.72% was significantly higher on days 0, 1, 4 and 5 compared to the pH of water on the
treatment of soil C-organic content of 59.98%.
The results of the analysis of the interaction treatment between the different doses of lime (K) and the
difference in the content of organic C (C) significantly affected the pH value of the incubation water on days
2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8. Results of the BNT Follow-Up Testα0.05The pH of the incubation water, the interaction of the
treatment with the difference in lime dose (K) and the treatment with the difference in the C-organic content of
the soil (C) are presented in Table 6. The results of the further test of BNTα0.05shows that in the treatment

treatment significantly affected the pH value of the rearing soil on days 10,20, and 30. Result
of further test BNTα0.05in the treatment of different doses of lime (K) (Table 7) shows that the
pH of the rearing water in the K . treatment4(10000 kg/ha CaO equivalent) was significantly
higher than the other treatments, but on day 10 the difference was not significantly different
from K treatment.3(9000 kg/ha CaO equivalent). Meanwhile, in the treatment the difference in
soil C-organic content (C) (Table 7) showed that the pH value of the maintenance water in
treatment C1(soil C-organic content 19.72%) significantly higher than the C . treatment2(soil C-
organic content 59,98%).

able to increase the pH of the water from 3.0 to 7.8 at the C-organic content of the
soil of 6.58%. Meanwhile, in this study, it was able to increase the pH of the water
from 3.2 to 7.33 with the same dose at 19.72% subgrade organic C content.
Meanwhile, the soil with 59.98% C-organic content was only able to increase the pH

Fish Survival and Growth

The results of the analysis of various treatments of different doses of lime and
peat soil with different soil organic-C content had a significant effect on the survival
of catfish (Table 9) but had no significant effect on growth in absolute weight and
length of catfish (Table 10).

Based on the results of analysis of variance, the interaction treatment of lime

and peat soil had no significant effect on the growth of absolute weight and
length of catfish. Prihadi (2007) stated that fish growth is influenced by external
and internal factors. External factors include physical, chemical, aquatic biology,
internal factors include heredity, disease resistance and the ability to utilize food.
CONCLUSION
Giving calcite lime has an effect on soil and water quality in catfish rearing
media. The best dose of calcite lime is a combination of 9,000 kg/ha CaO
equivalent in soil with 19.72% organic content (K3C1) which can increase the pH
of swamp water from 3.2 to 7.47 and soil pH from 3 .3 to 7.43, and resulted in
100% survival, 9.08 g absolute weight growth and 4.60 cm absolute length
growth.
