Tea shoots processing intended to alter the chemical composition of fresh tea shoots, so bring the desired properties. Freshly plucked tea leaves containing water 75% of the weight of the leaves. The water contained in the leaves removed through the process of withering and drying in the processing of green tea. Green tea liquid waste obtained from the milling process and not used optimally, it needs a touch technology that can turn liquid waste into useful liquid organic fertilizer. The use of an activator / starter (micro-organisms) in green tea liquid waste is an alternative technology to improve the health and fertility of the soil and plants. The purpose of this study to determine the benefits of using liquid waste of green tea on the growth of tea seeds. Results of analysis of the utilization liquid waste of green tea with the addition of starter (EM-4) has not shown any real effect on the percentage of seedling growth and seedling growth (plant height, number of leaves and greenery). Keywords: liquid waste, green tea, organic matter.

Tanaman tebu (Saccharum officinarum L) termasuk kedalam famili rumput- rumputan (graminae) seperti halnya padi, glagah, jagung, bambu dll. Tanaman ini bagian pangkal hingga ujung batangnya mengandung air gula. Uret (Lepidiota stigma F.) merupakan hama utama pada tanaman tebu yang menyerang ketika masih berada pada fase larva. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder dan dianalisis menggunakan uji korelasi dan regresi. Berdasarkan dari hasil data yang didapat diketahui tingkat serangan hama uret paling tinggi terjadi pada tahun 2014 yaitu 35,46 dan tingkat serangan hama uret paling rendah terjadi pada tahun 2017 yaitu 6,80. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi tingkat serangan hama uret adalah curah hujan, suhu, kelembapan, rendemen dan rotasi tanaman.

Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kandungan unsur hara limbah cair hasil dari pengolahan teh hijaudan fermentasi limbah cair teh hijau yang digunakan sebagai bahan pupuk organik. Hasil analisa fermentasi limbahcair menunjukkan kandungan C-organik tinggi dan kandungan hara makro serta mikro yang rendah (C-organik5,7; N 0,24%; P 0,06%; K 0,69%, Cu 1,63 ppm dan Zn 3,33 ppm). Pemanfaatan limbah cair teh hijau sebanyak 1liter dengan penambahan starter (EM-4) sebanyak 10 ml belum menunjukkan pengaruh terhadap persentase bibittumbuh dan pertumbuhan bibit, yaitu tinggi tanaman, jumlah dan kehijauan daun bibit teh.Kata kunci: limbah cair teh, pupuk organic, bibit tehABSTRACTThe purpose of this study to determine the nutrient content of liquid waste from the processing of green teaand green tea fermentation liquid waste used as organic fertilizer. The benefits to be obtained is to provideinformation on the nutrient content of the liquid waste from the processing of green tea and green tea fermentationliquid waste used as organic fertilizer. Results of analysis of liquid waste showed high content of organic C (5,7%)and nutrient content of macro and micro low i.e N 0.24%, P 0.06%, K 0.69%, Cu 1.63 ppm and Zn 3.33 ppm.Liquid waste green tea as much as 1 liter with the addition of starter (EM-4) as much as 10 ml has not shown theeffect on the percentage of seedlings and growth of seedlings i.e plant height, number of leaves and greenery.Key words: liquid waste of tea, organic matter, tea seedling
