STUDI KOMPARATIF ANTARA PENAMBAHAN EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISM-4 (EM-4) DAN LEACHATE (AIR LINDI) SEBAGAI STIMULATOR DALAM PEMBUATAN KOMPOS
Abstract: The amount of trash
continues to grow rapidly, while the sewage treatment capacity is still inadequate.
The developing of alternative sewage treatment is still needed. This study
aimed to deter-mine the difference of time, temperature, pH, C / N ratio and
the levels of N, P, K in the compost. This study used experimental posttest
design with control group. The populations were all the garbage leaves at the
campus I of UMS which was 170 kg per day. For as much as 27 kg samples were
taken. There were 3 groups, which were control, EM-4 and leachate group.
Leachate was taken from Garbage Dump
(TPA) Putri Cempo, Surakarta. Each group
used 3kg of leaves and
was repeated 3 times. Statistical test of this study was One
Way Anova test. The results showed that there was a difference of time, temperature
and pH of composting between EM-4 and the addition of leachate. On P levels there
was not any significant difference of the compost between those with the
addition of EM-4 and leachate, while there were significant differences of the
levels of N and K. The average levels for compost with EM-4 addition were N
(1.25%), P (1.44%) and K (0.97%). While average levels for com-post with
leachate addition were N (1.17%), P (1.35%) and K (0.89%). The ratio of C / N
of the compost with the addition of EM-4 and with the addition of leachate
showed significant differences with p d” 0.01.
