Abstract

The goal of this research is to develop the six (6) types of soil with the help of the substrates: Ash, chopped banana stem, baking soda for the development. This research also intended to know the absorption capacity of the six (6) types of soil. The researchers applied the (3) substrates in six (6) types of soil to increase the soil porosity. It was observed that with the help of the applied soil substrates, the soil porosity increased. Using these (3) substances, the porosity yielded a significant increase with the porosity of each soil in the (3) treatments (T1-T3), compared to the pure soil (C). The researchers recommend to upgrade the six (6) types of soil in absorbing the water, make use of the 3 different substrates, and mix these substrates to efficiently increase the soil porosity.
