Land intensification is one approach to increasing rice production, including through the utilization of saline land. Saline soil contains salt levels that can cause plant cell damage, reduced photosynthesis, and decreased water and nutrient efficiency. As a result, rice production on saline soil is suboptimal unless balanced with soil improvement efforts and proper nutrient management. The study was conducted in Ujung Gagak Village, Nusa Kambangan, Cilacap Regency, through a farmer action research initiative. This study aimed to determine the effect of using a compound biofertilizer formula on several varieties under saline soil conditions. Fertilization influenced the severity of plant symptoms and plant height resulting from soil salinity in the field during the vegetative phase. The varieties exhibited significant differences in response regarding leaf greenness, the severity of plant symptoms caused by salinity stress, and the number of tillers during both the vegetative and generative stages. The local Ngaos Mawar variety showed better growth, as evidenced by higher leaf greenness and lower severity of salinity toxicity symptoms compared to the other varieties. The Ngaos Mawar variety is classified as tolerant, Inpara 08 and Inpari 34 as moderately susceptible, while Inpara 09 is classified as susceptible based on field observations. The application of compound biofertilizer and the absence of such application did not affect insect population size. Insect population size by guild showed significant differences. The number of natural enemies was higher than that of pest insects and neutral insects. The application of compound biofertilizer resulted in moderate arthropod diversity, with a fairly balanced ecosystem. The utilization of saline land also requires attention to the appropriate planting time and simultaneous planting across the entire field to anticipate pest outbreaks.
