This study aims to determine the source of eco-enzyme raw materials and the most appropriate dilution volume to produce quality eco-enzyme fertilizer for plant growth. 1 (sugar): 3 (fruit and vegetable waste): 10 (water). The resulting eco-enzyme liquid is processed into fertilizer through the dilution process. Eco-enzyme fertilizers from each raw material source contain different organic N, P, K, and C nutrients. Besides that, some enzymes are beneficial to plants. This research is experimental in the laboratory. The experimental design was factorial design using a completely randomized design as the based design with the treatment of various sources of raw material for eco-enzyme E1 (fruit waste), E2 (vegetable waste), and E3 (fruit and vegetable waste). The parameters observed are N, P, K, and C Organic. The results showed that in terms of the quality of eco-enzyme fertilizers, the best order of eco-enzyme fertilizers was eco-enzyme fertilizer from vegetable waste (E2), eco-enzyme fertilizer from fruit and vegetable waste (E3), and eco-enzyme fertilizer from fruit waste (E1). Based on the NPK content in eco-enzyme fertilizer, eco-enzyme fertilizer is still below the quality standard for liquid organic fertilizer but the enzymes contained in eco-enzymes can also spur growth in plants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
