Abstract

Inorganic or chemical fertilizers are often used by farmers to increase crop yield and quality in a short period of time. However, continuous use of inorganic fertilizers in high doses can reduce soil fertility, disrupt the balance of microorganisms, and pollute the environment. To address these impacts, the use of organic fertilizers becomes an environmentally friendly alternative that can improve soil structure and sustainably increase agricultural productivity. This practical experiment aims to understand the process of making vermicompost from a mixture of household organic waste and animal manure, as well as to evaluate the quality of the resulting vermicompost. The methods used include preparation of raw materials, pre-composting for seven days, worm inoculation, and maintenance of the medium for 30 days. The results of the experiment show that the vermicomposting process can accelerate the decomposition of organic materials and produce organic fertilizer with a fine texture and brown color. dark brown, with an earthy smell. Nutrient content analysis showed an increase in nitrogen and phosphorus levels compared to the raw material. Thus, the resulting vermicompost is suitable for use as an organic fertilizer for an increase in nitrogen and phosphorus levels compared to the initial material. Thus, the resulting vermicompost is suitable for use as an organic fertilizer to improve soil fertility and support sustainable agricultural cultivation.

Abstract

Vegetable waste, a form of organic matter, poses a risk of environmental pollution when not properly managed. This waste is produced in substantial quantities by communities and can contribute to environmental degradation. A viable solution to this issue is the conversion of vegetable waste into organic fertilizer through fermentation. This community service initiative was designed to enhance participants' knowledge and skills in producing organic fertilizer from vegetable waste and promoting eco-friendly waste management practices. The activity was conducted at the Universitas Sulawesi Barat Greenhouse and involved students from the 2023 cohort of the Agroecotechnology Study Program. The methodology included demonstrations followed by practical sessions, which encompassed the preparation of tools and materials, the preparation of the EM4 bioactivator, the mixing process, and fermentation. The findings indicate that participants effectively comprehended and executed the steps necessary for organic fertilizer production. An improvement in participants' knowledge was demonstrated by evaluation results, with the average pre-test score increasing from 2.00 to 4.18 in the post-test. In addition to knowledge enhancement, the training provided participants with technical skills in organic waste processing and heightened their awareness of the importance of the "reduce, reuse, and recycle" principles in supporting sustainable agriculture. Thus, training on the production of organic fertilizer from vegetable waste has proven to be an effective educational tool and a strategy for sustainable environmental management.
