Pengaruh penambahan kultur azotobacter pada feses kambing terhadap kualitas media dan produktivitas cacing tanah (Lumbricus rubellus)
Abstract: The purposes of this
research were to determine the effect of addition of Azotobacter bacterial
culture into media of goat faeces on medium quality and earthworm productivity;
and also to examine the best dose of Azotobacter bacterial cultures addition.
The research material was 800 g earthworm aged 3 months old. The research
method was experimental with Completely Randomized Design using 4 treatments
and 4 replications. The results show that addition of Azotobacter bacterial
culture had a significant effect (P<0.01) on the medium quality and
earthworm productivity (coccoon production, the number of juvenils per coccoon,
coccoon hatching percentage, the numbers and weight of earthworm). The
bacterial culture addition of 350 cc/100 kg goat faeces was found the best. We
suggest to follow the study with observation about the effect of the length of
fermentation to the medium quality and earthworm productivity.
