The Application of Fermented Pineapple Waste and Rice Washing Water Liquid Organic Fertilizer on The Content of Crude Protein and Crude Fiber of Golden Timothy Grass (Setaria sphacelata)
Abstrak
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving liquid organic fertilizer (POC) which fermented from a mixture of pineapple waste and rice washing water, on the crude protein and crude fiber content of golden timothy grass (Setaria sphacelata). The research used pols (root slips) of golden timothy grass as planting material. Pineapple waste, rice washing water, brown sugar and EM4 were the ingredients used in the fermentation process of making liquid organic fertilizer (POC). The study was an experimental research using a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments, namely P0 = 0 ml POC (control), P1 = 150 ml POC, P2 = 200 ml POC, P3 = 250 ml POC, and with five replications. Parameters observed were crude protein and crude fiber content. The results showed that the administration of POC which fermented from a mixture of pineapple waste and rice washing water, had no effect on the crude protein and crude fiber content of golden timothy grass.
Keywords : golden timothy grass (Setaria sphacelata), liquid organic fertilizer (POC), pineapple waste, rice washing water, crude protein, crude fiber
