Abstract
Research was conducted in February - March 2019 in the central hydroponics greenhouse of Agro Tourism Cilangkap, East Jakarta. The purpose of the research is to producing bokashi fertilizer from baglog waste treatment with variations of EM-4 activator, MOL papaya, MOL banana hump, and MOL cow dung. Baglog waste bokashi fertilizer is made with 6 types of combinations (P0 – P5). The measured bokashi parameters included nutrient content of Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). Data from bokashi parameter measurements were analyzed descriptively, then compared with compost quality standards according to SNI 19-7030 in 2004. The results showed that bokashi fertilizer could be made within 21 days with the results of nutrient content that was in accordance with SNI 19-7030 in 2004. Overall, the resulting bokashi fertilizer contains K elements which is higher than N and P. Bokashi fertilizer with MOL activator shows better quality (C, N, P, K) compared to EM-4.
