Analysis of C/N Ratio Content in Market Waste Compost Fertilizer
Garbage, especially organic garbage, is created in higher numbers due to population development, and conventional markets are the main source of waste.Waste that is not managed appropriately will result in environmental pollution.However, compost can be generated from organic waste that comes from market garbage.Compost fertilizer is made by blending balanced components and managing aeration using a compost starter.One of the most important components of the overall nutritional balance is the ratio of organic carbon to nitrogen.This study used various bioactivators to calculate the C/N ratio of market waste.First, as part of the investigation, organic market trash is composted.The C/N ratio in the control, EM4, MOL, and rabbit urine treatments must subsequently be explained in the laboratory.Based on the research findings, C/N was 8 in control treatment and 4.35 in EM4 therapy.In the MOL therapy, the value was 6.69, whereas in the rabbit urine treatment, it was 8.18.None of these four treatments were able to achieve the compost quality parameters according to the regulations.
