Perbedaan Kualitas Kompos Sampah Organik Menggunakan Effective Microorganism 4 (Em4) Dan Larva Black Soldier Fly Di Desa Buduk Tahun 2020

Abstract

Abstract. Composting is an effort in managing organic waste that can be done with the help of microorganisms to accelerate the composting process. One way is to use EM4 and Black Soldier Fly larvae. The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in the quality of EM4 compost and Black Soldier Fly compost. Type of research used is pre-experimental design with one-shot case study design and use test independent t test to analyze differences in the quality of compost. The samples used are 8 of Black Soldier Fly compost samples and eight secondary data of EM4 compost that have been tested before. The results showed that the average N, P, K content in EM4 compost was N (1,7250%); P₂O₅ (0,6975%); K₂O (0,9338%) while the average content of N, P, K in compost Black Soldier Fly is N (1.6625%); P₂O₅ (0.9988%); K₂O (3.5038%) with the result of statistical test using independent t test show that there are differences in the value of potassium while the value of nitrogen and phosphorus has no difference.
