Study of the Quality of Some Compost Fertilizer Simantri Production in Bali in Accordance with Indonesian National Standard-2004 (SNI 19-7030-2004). In Bali currently has circulated various types of compost, but testing of the quality most have not done regularly. Efforts to protect the consumer need to be implemented through the compost quality testing in the laboratory. This is done to prevent counterfeiting and ensure the quality of the compost is already in line with the quality standard SNI-2004. Among compost circulating in Bali, is compost Gapoktan Simantri production. The purpose of this study is to determine some of the physical and chemical properties of some Simantri’s compost circulating in Bali, whether in accordance with the criteria of the quality of compost SNI 19-7030-2004. Compost quality standards  SNI-2004 are water content (<50%), pH (6.8 to 7.49), total-N  (> 0.4%), C-organic (9.80 to 32%), P2O5 (> 0.10%), K2O (> 0.20%), C / N ratio (10-20), organic matter (27-58%), smells like soil, blackish color, and the temperature not hot. Compost sampling method for testing a composite on Gapoktan Simantri in Bali as many as 20 samples of compost. Parameters include: water content (grafimetri), pH (electrode glas), total-N (method of Kjeldhal), P2O5 and K2O (method of extracting HCL 25%), organic C (method of Walkley and Black), material organic, EC (coductometer), C/N ratio, color, temperature, and smell of the compost. Data obtained from the analysis in laboratory are compared to standard quality of compost according to SNI 19-7030-2004. The results showed that the total-N of compost Simantri is very high (1.13 to 2.11%), P content is very high (0.103 to 0.123%), K content is very high (0.902 to 2.342%),  C-organic is very high (14.08 to 25.48%), C/N ratio (10.52 to 18.52),  organic matter (24.87 to 43.93%) (all of these parameters in accordance with SNI-2004) ; pH  (6.65 to 8.36) (some not suitable SNI-2004), EC (2.31 to 8.46 mmhos/cm2) (some very high), moisture content (36.60 to 56.60%) (some not suitable SNI-2004), blackish color, smells like soil, and temperature not hot (according to the standard SNI-2004).The majority (57.14%) of compost Simantri examined in accordance with the  standard quality compost SNI-2004, but  (42.86%) is not in accordance  (pH and water content of compost).

Increased Yields Onion Plant and Changes of Soil Chemical Properties with Semiorganic Fertilization on Inceptisol Soil Tabanan. Thisexperiment to study the effects of inorganic fertilizer (P) and organic fertilizer (K) on the chemical properties as well as onion yields. A Factorial Randomized Block Design pot Experiment was conducted under Inceptisol soil conditions located at Kerambitan District, Tabanan Regency. The inorganic treatments consisted of P0 (control), P1 (50kg Phonska ha-1 + 200 kg ZA ha-1), P2 (100 kg Phonska ha-1 + 150 kg ZA ha-1), P3 (150 kg Phonska ha-1 + 100 kg.ZA ha-1). The organic treatments consisted of K0 (control), K1 (2 tons ha-1), K2 (4 tons ha-1), K3 (6 tons ha-1). Plant parameters observed including: plant height (cm), maximum number of leaves, maximum number of tubers, fresh and oven dry weight of tubers and hypothetical tubers fresh yields. The observed chemical soil properties including: soil pH and CEC.  All data were analyzed using variance analysis and Duncan's test (0.05). The results showed that all fertilization treatments have significant effects on most parameters observed except plant height, soil pH and CEC. The P2K2 (100 kg Phonska ha-1 + 150 kg ZA ha-1) and (4 tons ha-1) treatment resulted in the best effects on the number tubers (7.7 tubers), weight of fresh tubers (37.9 g), tubers dry weight (6.5 g) per pot respectively. The highest hypothetical yields (9.5 tons ha-1) were also found under this treatment as well as the highest soil pH (6.6) and CEC (46.8 me 100g-1 of soil).

This study aim is to determine the effect of the application of Gaharu-C fertilizer formulation of sapwood formed on agarwood plants at three specific locations in Tabanan Regency. This research is a factorial experiment with basic CRD design (completely randomized design). The first factor is location specific consisting of 3 location namely: Pupuan Subdistrict (Pu), Penebel Subdistrict (Pnl), and District of East Selemadeg (Sl). The second factor was the treatment of the Gaharu-C formula fertilizer consisting of 2 ie: 0 (without fertilizer), and C (Gaharu-C fertilizer formulation: 100 g urea + 100 g SP-36 + 100 g KCl) + (7.5 kg compost ) + (75 g dolomite) per tree), each treatment replicated three times. Number of plants used as many as 18 trees. Parameters observed included increased stem diameter, sapwood color, weight of sapwood, resin content and soil chemical properties data. Data analysis used variance analysis and LCD test (?= 0.05). The results showed that specific-location factors had significant effect on increasing stem diameter. However, had no significant effect on the color of sapwood, sapwood weight and resin level of sapwood. The fertilizer factor of Gaharu-C formula has no significant effect on all parameters observed. The highest increase of stem diameter was obtained at Pupuan location (0.40 cm), followed by East Selemadeg (0.32 cm), and the lowest Penebel (0.15 cm). The weight of sapwood and the highest resin content was obtained at the Sl C treatment of 5.34 g and 6.43%. The best application of Gaharu-C fertilizer formulation is in East Selemadeg Subdistrict.

The formulation of chicken eggshell waste with market waste compost to increase the yield of green mustard (Brassica juncea L.). Aims to find the best and environmentally friendly organic fertilizer formula to increase the yield of green mustard and improve some soil chemical properties. This research is a pot experiment in a greenhouse, using a simple randomized block design consisting of 7 combinations. Fertilizer formulas that were tried were: F0 (without treatment), F1 = (100 kg of shell + 10 tonnes of compost), F2 = (200 kg of shell + 8 tonnes of compost), F3 = (300 kg of shell + 6 tonnes of compost), F4 = (400 kg of shell + 4 tons of compost), F5 = (500 kg of shells + 2 tons of compost), F6 = (600 kg of shells + 0 tons of compost), and each treatment was repeated 4 times. The parameters observed included: maximum plant height (cm), fresh plant weight at harvest, oven dry plant weight, soil pH, C-organic content, CEC and soil Ca content at harvest. The data were analyzed statistically, tested for variance. If the effect of the treatment had significant, then continued with the 5 % Duncans test. The results of this study indicate that the treatment has a significant effect on plant height growth, fresh weight and oven dry weight of plants, as well as changes in soil chemical properties such as: C-organic, soil CEC, and soil Ca content. The fresh plant weight was obtained in treatment F2 (9.55 g), followed by F3 (9.37 g), and F1 (9.18 g) per pot. While the highest CEC was obtained in the F2 treatment (36.31 me 100 g-1) with a soil Ca content of 7.52 me 100 g-1. The best fertilizer formula from this study was found in the F2 treatment.
