EFEKTIVITAS CAMPURAN SAMPAH KUBIS DAN DAUN MANGGA SEBAGAI KOMPOS DENGAN VARIASI AKTIVATOR

Abstract

Magetan society  rarely take advantage of the organic waste. So it is necessary to do
research on composting. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of sewage treatment
using cabbage and mango leaves as main material and activator used were cow dung, goat
dung and EM4.
This is a pre-experimental research. Data collected by the experiment, measured and
observed. 27 samples of 3 diferent-processes were 9 sample using cow manure activators, 9
second sample using goat droppings activator and 9 third sample using activator EM4. The
data were then analyzed by calculating the average weight reduction of waste.Analyses using
ANOVA test.
Based on the result of statistical test, it is known ρ sign 0,000 < α (0,01) so that H
is
accepted or no difference to the effectiveness on variation activator mixture of cabbage and
mango leaves as compost. The results showed that the use of cow dung activators weight
decreased 28.20%, temperature (27-37) ° C, pH (6.6 to 7), humidity (55-70)%. The use of
goat dung activators weight down 40.90%, temperature (28-39) ° C, pH (6.7 to 7), humidity
(65-75)%. The use of EM4 weight decreased 61%, temperature (27-40) ° C, pH (6.6 to 7),
humidity (55-75)%.
We recommend using EM4 activatorbecause the result is the best. Keep the
temperature and humidity so that the composting process is going well.
