The Effectiveness Of Using Organic Waste As Compost Using Composter And Biopory Methods On The Growth Of Sawi Plants

Abstract

The waste produced by humans is increasing along with the increase in population. From the data from the Kediri Regency Environmental Service (DLH), at least in 2019 in Kediri Regency there were recorded 503 tons of waste. That is what is resulted from the activities of the community in one day. This study aims to analyze the differences in the use of kitchen waste as a biopore and composter for mustard plants. The research method used is an experimental method, using a RAL research design (Completely Randomized Design). The data analysis technique used is One Way Anova and General Linear Model. The results of the research that has been carried out using the Anova test results obtained a significant value <0.05 so that it can be concluded that there is an effect of adding composter to the growth of height and number of leaves of mustard plants. Meanwhile, in the GLM test of mustard plant height, a significant value was obtained <0.05 so that it was concluded that the addition of composter and biopori affected the growth of mustard plants with different doses, but did not determine the height and number of leaves on mustard greens. From the research that has been done, it is concluded that biopori compost and composter are effective to be applied to mustard plants. So it is hoped that the biopori and composter methods can be applied by the community in an effort to reduce household organic waste as compost.
