Abstract:
Agricultural products have great potential to produce untapped farm-to-table agricultural waste. This can happen because the agricultural products are damaged before they reach consumers and become agricultural waste. Therefore, paper aims to investigate the macronutrient content of the compost and liquid organic fertilizer using agricultural waste as the main ingredient. There are two treatments for making compost, namely the composition of the main ingredients (rice straw + lamtoro, rice straw + corn stalks, and lamtoro + corn stalks) and the composition of the supporting material in the form of livestock manure (cow dung, goat manure, and chicken manure). There are five treatment sources of the main raw materials for making liquid organic fertilizer tested, namely banana peel, papaya peel, pineapple skin, tomato, and cassava peel. Macro parameters in the form of N, P, K, and C content were measured using the Kjeldahl, Bray, AAS, and Walkle and Black methods, respectively. The C/N ratio was calculated by comparing the content of C and N. Furthermore, data were analyzed using statistical parameters in the form of ANOVA and DMRT. Making compost with the main ingredients of agricultural waste and supporting materials from livestock manure has a significant effect on macronutrient content in compost. Apart from that, the production of liquid organic fertilizer with the main ingredient of agricultural waste significantly affects the macronutrient content of liquid organic fertilizer produced.
