Abstract

Lampung is one of the best provinces in Indonesia in the agricultural sector. Research on agriculture in Lampung continues to develop over time. To expand land, research on agricultural land is needed. Agricultural soil contains chemical elements that support soil fertility. The aim of this research is to find out which chemical elements have the best correlation with soil fertility. The samples used were agricultural soil samples from the South Lampung and Pesawaran areas. The method used is a geochemical method with pH measurements and X-Ray Fluorescence testing. The results obtained were that the Mg element had a very strong correlation with soil fertility so that in the future the Mg element could be used as an indicator of soil fertility levels. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
