Efektivitas Kombinasi Tiga Jenis Mikroorganisme Lokal (Mol) Terhadap Laju Kematangan Kompos Sampah Organik

Abstract

Solid waste is one of the environmental health problems because it pollutes, source of disease, and breeding places for vectors and rats. One of the primary sources of organic waste is trading activities in the market. The study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the compost maturation rate using local micro-organisms (MOL) as bio activators obtained from stale rice, pineapple peel, and cassava peel. This research is a quasi-experiment with two repetitions. Each treatment uses 0.5 kg of organic matter from market waste, with three MOL combinations. Variations in MOL composition in each combination (in ml) were 10:90, 20:80, 30:70, 40:60, and 50:50. The data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey tests to determine differences in the rate of compost maturation between combinations and differences between individual MOLs. The results showed that the average compost ripening was 18.3 days (15-24.5), the lowest was in the MOL of stale rice and pineapple peel (50:50). The compost maturation rate was significantly different based on the and was significantly different from the MOL for stale rice and pineapple peel (p-value=0.009). Research has proven that MOL from household waste can be used as a bio activator in making compost from market waste. The lowest compost maturation rate used MOL of stale rice and pineapple peel, at a ratio of 50:50.

Efektivitas Komposting Limbah Padat Serai Wangi Dengan Menggunakan EM4 dan Mikro Organisme Lokal (Nasi Basi dan Serai Wangi)

“…Berdasarkan Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 18 Tahun 2008 mengenai pengelolaan sampah, bahwasanya sampah adalah sisa kegiatan sehari-hari manusia atau dari proses alami yang berbentuk padat 1 . Sampah yang tidak dikelola dengan baik memiliki potensi untuk menyebabkan gangguan bagi lingkungan seperti pencemaran tanah, dapat menjadi tempat perkembangbiakan vektor dan binatang pengganggu, menimbulkan bau dan mengganggu estetika 2 .…”
