This study focuses on the characterization of bacterial communities in Takakura compost specifically applied to Saga plants. Takakura compost, known for its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and efficacy in producing high-quality compost, utilizes the natural processes of microorganisms to break down organic materials. The research involves the analysis of bacterial communities during the comp…
Compost has an important ecological role in increasing soil fertility, plant growth and sustainable agriculture, especially in recycling organic waste. This research characterizes the role of Plant Growth Promoting Fungi (PGPF) derived from Takakura compost and analyzes the influence of microbial communities on saga plants (Abrus precatorius). Takakura Compost is an alternative because of i…
Abrus precatorius, known as Saga, is a legume plant belonging to the tropical Asia region that is known for its toxicity. Precedent research has shown that Abrus precatorius leaves and roots have a potential effect on treating various diseases such as cough, bronchitis, hepatitis, and cancer. However, Saga plants are being undervalued in Indonesia due to the lack of knowledge on the benefit…
"The study delves into the characterization of bacterial communities within Takakura composting. Takakura composting is a method integral to organic waste management, and serves as the focal point for understanding microbial dynamics during decomposition. The research aims to make takakura compost with two different compositions and characterize the bacterial community in the Takakura compo…
This study highlights the environmental consequences of landfill buildup while addressing the issue of insufficient food waste management in Indonesia and the 1.3 billion yearly instances worldwide. The study focuses on the Takakura Composting Method (TCM), which combines fermentative microorganisms and locally created materials to provide a sustainable household-scale solution. The Takakur…
With the increasing demand for ornamental plants during the pandemic, improving the growth and aesthetic qualities of ornamental plants have become a priority. To improve the growth of ornamental plants, chemical fertilizers are used as they readily supply plants with essential nutrients. However, since the excessive usage of chemical fertilizer is linked with environmental degradation, a m…
Fertilizer has been commonly used to improve plant growth and crop yield due to the high demand of food sources. Organic fertilizers, such as vermicompost, maggot’s zoo compost, and tricompost, are the environmentally friendly alternative to chemical fertilizers. This experiment aims to evaluate the effectiveness of common organic fertilizers through comparison to RHA and NPK fertilizer on th…
