Uji Kualitas Pupuk Organik Cair (POC) dari Mikroorganisme Lokal (MOL) Kulit Nanas

Abstract

MOL is a solution resulting from fermentation using natural basic ingredients available both in nature and organic waste from household waste. MOL functions as a reformer of organic matter, plant growth, biological fertilizers, vegetable pesticides and soil fertility. This study aims to determine the quality of liquid organic fertilizer (POC) from local microorganisms (MOL) pineapple peel with different fermentation times and whether it is in accordance with the PERMENTAN standard no. 70 of 2011. This research was carried out at the Seed House, Department of Agroecotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture, Lambung Mangkurat University, Banjarbaru with a fermentation time of 7 and 14 days. The research was carried out in June-July 2021. The parameters observed were temperature, pH, humidity, color, scent and sediment. The results showed that liquid organic fertilizer (POC) from local microorganisms (MOL) fermented pineapple skin for 7 days and 14 days, both of them did not have good quality because their nutrient content was still low. Based on the quality test of liquid organic fertilizer (POC) from local microorganisms (MOL) pineapple peel is still not in accordance with the PERMENTAN standard no. 70 of 2011.
