Abstract

Soft soil in rice field has a hardpan layer of less than 0.3Mpa. The usage of farm mechanization in rice field cannot be performed due to the hardpan structure cannot accommodate the load of heavy machinery. To overcome this problem, the method of soft soil replacement is used in order to revitalize the hardpan layer which has been damaged due to the stagnant water problem. Field study was conducted to test the soft soil replacement method to solve the problem of land on soft soil plot in Alor Senibung. A total of 4 plots have been prepared for the experiments where the top layer of paddy soil has been removed and replaced with other soil. After the soil has been compacted, the hardness of the hardpan was measured from time to time and is presented in this paper. The results from this study are expected to overcome the soft soil problems.
