Abstrak
PT Nusantara Segar Abadi merupakan perusahaan yang berfokus dalam bidang budidaya pisang jenis Cavendish yang terletak di Kabupaten Jembrana. Badan Pusat Statistik melaporkan data produksi pisang di Indonesia tahun 2022 mencapai 9.245.427 Ton, PT NSA menyumbang produksi tahun 2022 sebesar 68.254 ton. Permasalahan yang dihadapi PT NSA adalah penanganan limbah buah pisang yang tidak sesuai spesifikasi akan mengakibatkan polusi dan estetika. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik kompos dari metode continuous flow bin vermikompos. Perlakuan penelitian ini adalah 7 kg bedding kotoran sapi dengan 1 kg cacing (A1), 7 kg bedding kotoran sapi dengan 1,5 kg cacing (A2), dan 7 kg bedding kotoran sapi dengan 2 kg cacing (A3) yang masing masing diberikan 1,25 kg limbah pisang dalam selang waku 3 hari. Parameter pengamatan sesuai dengan Standar Nasional Indonesia 19-7030-2004. Data diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan analisis statistik deskriptif. Setelah 18 hari menunjukan kinerja pengomposan dan karakteristik kompos yang berbeda beda, pada parameter C/N rasio pelakuan A1 melebihi standar maksimum yakni 20,12%, sedangkan pada perlakuan A2 yakni 16,43% dan A3 yakni 16,11% sudah memenuhi standar. Pada karakteristik lainnya mempunyai nilai pH 7,4-7,5, kadar air 8,8% – 9,69%, Kadar C-Organik memiliki nilai 27,43% – 29,37%, Kadar N-Total 1,46%–1,71%, Fosfor (P) 0,15%–0.25%, dan Kalium (K) 0,33% – 0,37% sudah sesuai dengan standar kompos dari SNI 19-7030-2004. Pelakuan A3 dengan 2 kg cacing menjadi perlakuan terbaik karena parameter teknis dan unsur makro pada seluruh pengujian sudah memenuhi standar.
Abstract
PT Nusantara Segar Abadi is a company that focuses on the cultivation of Cavendish bananas located in Jembrana Regency. According to the Central Statistics Agency, banana production data in Indonesia reached 9,245,427 tons in 2022, with PT NSA contributing 68,254 tons to the production in the same year. The challenge faced by PT NSA is the improper handling of banana waste, which can lead to pollution and aesthetic issues. This research aims to create compost from banana waste using the continuous flow bin vermicomposting method. The research treatments include 7 kg of cow dung bedding with 1 kg of worms (A1), 7 kg of cow dung bedding with 1.5 kg of worms (A2), and 7 kg of cow dung bedding with 2 kg of worms (A3), each receiving 1.25 kg of banana waste every 3 days. Observations are conducted according to the Indonesian National Standard 19-7030-2004. The obtained data are analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis. After 18 days, the composting performance and characteristics of the compost vary. In terms of the C/N ratio parameter, treatment A1 exceeds the maximum standard at 20.12%, while treatment A2 is at 16.43%, and treatment A3 is at 16.11%, meeting the standard. Other characteristics include a pH value of 7.4-7.5, moisture content of 8.8%–9.69%, organic C content of 27.43%–29.37%, total N content of 1.46%–1.71%, phosphorus (P) content of 0.15%–0.25%, and potassium (K) content of 0.33%–0.37%, all of which comply with the compost standards specified in SNI 19-7030-2004. Treatment A3, with 2 kg of worms, proves to be the best treatment as technical parameters and macroelement content in all tests meet the standards.
