THE EFFECT OF ORGANIC BIOFERTILIZER FROM BSF LARVAE (Hermetia illucens) AND LOCAL MICROORGANISM ON THE GROWTH OF CAISIM MUSTARD PLANTS

One of the solutions developed for utilizing organic materials in agriculture is the use of biological fertilizer. This research is different from previous fertilizer research, where the biofertilizer in this study came from empty palm oil bunches, animal waste by using maggots (BSF larvae, Hermetia illucens) and local microorganisms to degrade them. The aim of this research is to obtain the composition of organic biofertilizer from three wastes that have been processed using maggots and local microorganisms. This research method uses RAL with 12 treatments with 3 repetitions. The results of a study of organic biofertilizer from BSF larvae and a consortium of local microorganisms on white mustard plants (Brasica chinensis) showed that treatment with a combination of animal waste, microbes and BSF larvae showed good results on the growth of white mustard plants. This is proven by the results of measuring soil pH, the highest height of chicory plants and the highest number of leaves compared to other organic biological fertilizer treatments, which were produced at the end of the measurement on day 30, the pH in the treatment with that combination is 4, plant height is 33 cm, and the number of leaves is 20.
