EFEKTIFITAS PENGOLAHAN SAMPAH ORGANIK DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN AKTIFATOR EM4 DAN MOL

Abstract

Compost is the result of the weathering process of organic materials because interactions between the decomposing microorganisms work therein. Compost is also one of the types of organic fertilizer because it comes from decayed organic material. Based on preliminary observation which was conducted by researchers in Banto market to 5 vegetable traders the average the vegetables start to rot, wither and not sell are approximately 7 kg each time the trade takes place. To determine the effectiveness of the processing of organic waste by using EM4 an MOL. This research was pure experimental. It used the hottest group design by using the independent sample t-test. The object of this research was organic waste. It was conducted in more than one group with different forms of treatment. The results of this research obtained that average difference in processing organic waste by using EM4 and MOL activators. The average temperature by using the EM4 activator was 28.86 o C. While by using MOL was 29.36 o C. Then, the average humidity by using EM4 activator was 48.79. By using MOL was 49.64 and average pH using EM4 activator and MOL were 4.93 and 5.43. In short, there are average effectiveness differences of EM4 and MOL activators. It can be seen from measurements of temperature, humidity and pH. It is recommended to the public to participate in managing waste, especially organic waste by making compost using EM4 and MOL activators.
