Phytoremediation of Coastal Land Using Manure and Grass Plants

Endang Dwi Purbajanti

Abstract: High salt concentrations cause disruption of the absorption of nutrients and water needed in metabolic processes. Characterization of saline soils is needed so that improvements or phytoremediation can be planned so that saline soils can be utilized as agricultural land. Land improvement can be done by using fertilizers and grass plants. Organic matter or fertilizers can play a role in binding grains with secondary soil grains in the formation of solid aggregates. This will affect porosity, water supply and storage, soil aeration, and soil temperature. The characteristics and effects of manure as amendment and grasses as phytoremediation to overcome salinity in saline soils are discussed in this paper.

Keywords: grass plants, organic matter, porosity, saline soil, soil aeration
