Soil chemical properties have important roles for supporting tobacco growth
and productivity. The study was conducted in 2014 to identify location-specific
critical soil characteristics (i.e., soil-chemically-fertility indicators), build soil
chemical properties index (SCPI), and understand the correlation between the
SCPI with tobacco productivity in Jember district. The SCPI was constructed by
applying principal component analysis procedures. Cation Exchange Capacity,
total N content, soil pH, and available-P were identified as key indicators of soil
fertility in the study area. Four sub districts namely Ambulu, Kalisat, Wuluhan
and Sumberjambe were categorized as high level of SCPI, while others were
classified as low to medium categories. It had positive correlation between SCPI
and tobacco productivity, meaning the higher the SCPI the better the tobacco
productivity.
