“…Aplikasi kombinasi biochar dan kompos secara bersamaan memberikan efek terbaik dalam meningkatkan sifat tanah dan pertumbuhan Amaranthus sp. Pada sistem pertanian perkotaan (Japakumar et al, 2021). Kombinasi biochar sekam padi dan kompos jerami memberikan hasil yang lebih baik dibanding aplikasi tunggal pada komponen produksi padi (Barus, 2016).…”

Biochar is the remains of carbon that is not burned and has the form of powder or charcoal with small pores that can absorb and store nutrients and water. Therefore, the use of organic materials such as biochar and compost can help increase soil fertility and plant growth. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which the effect of biochar and compost on the growth of pakcoy plants on vertisol soils. This research method treated biochar and compost with the following treatment arrangements: A) B0 = control, B) B1 = 2% Biochar content, C) B2 = 4% biochar content, D) B3 = 6% biochar content, E) B4 = 2% compost content, F) B5 = 4% compost content, G) B6 = 6% compost content. The data obtained were processed statistically according to the 5% BNT variance analysis procedure to determine the effect of the treatment. The results of this study can be concluded that there is a treatment containing 6% biochar which is the best treatment for plant height parameters. While the treatment of 6% compost content is the best treatment on the number of leaves parameter.

Compost Based on Pulp and Paper Mill Sludge, Fruit-Vegetable Waste, Mushroom Spent Substrate and Rye Straw Improves Yield and Nutritional Value of Tomato

et al. 2021

Plant biomass in the form of waste materials and by-products from various industries can be a valuable material for the production of composts and growing media for urban gardening. In this study, pulp and paper mill sludge, fruit-vegetable waste, mushroom spent substrate and rye straw were used to produce compost that was further used as a medium component in container cultivation of tomato. The plants were grown in containers with a capacity of 3 dm3 filled with three types of compost-based growing media supplemented with high peat, fen peat, pine bark and wood fiber. The tomato plants grown in 100% peat substrate served as controls. The plants grown in the compost-enriched media had a higher leaf greening index and percentage of ripe fruit, and exhibited an increased content of total polyphenols and flavonoids, potassium, calcium, magnesium and copper in fruit as compared with the control. The tomatoes grown in a medium consisting of 25% compost, 30% high peat, 15% low peat, 20% pine bark and 10% wood fiber reached the highest fresh fruit weight, total polyphenol content and L-ascorbic acid levels. This study demonstrated that the compost produced from natural materials from various sources was a valuable potting medium supplement with positive effects on tomato yield and nutritional value.
