Abstract

Natural inert dust has been used as a grain protectant since the ancient Aztecs of Mexico to this modern era. Natural inert dust is divided into three groups: the first group includes sand, kaolin, paddy husk ash, wood ash, and clay; the second group includes mineral dust; and the third group includes natural silicas such as diatomaceous earth and zeolite. Natural inert dust has a unique mechanism for killing insect pests. Inert dust particles penetrate the insects’ exoskeleton, causing dehydration through the cuticle. Relative humidity is a crucial factor affecting the efficacy of inert dust application. Inert dust has been traditionally used by farmers, which impacts the insects, such as decreasing population, no insect resistance, and being environmentally friendly. Problems of using inert dust include visible residues on grain, airborne dust, reduced flowability, bulk density reduction, and adverse effects on downstream processing machinery. Moreover, inert dust is a very light product, thus it may cause human respiratory illness. The inert dust can be applied to the smaller or larger storage containers. Natural silica can be readily integrated into modern agriculture as a pest management solution.

Abstract

The development of cocoa in Indonesia was followed by an increase in cocoa waste in the form of fruit skins as much as 75% of fruit skins. The purpose of this study was to determine the formulation of fungi (Trichoderma harzianum and Pleurotus ostreatus)and methods of composting cocoa fruit skin waste as well as analysis of the quality of the compost produced.  The research was conducted at Bontomanai village, Bungayya sub-district, and Gowa district which all have composting facilities on February to June 2023 . The quality testing of compost and counting the amount of Phytophtora palmivora spores in cocoa pod husk compost was carried out in the Plant Disease Laboratory, Department of Plant Pest and Disease, Faculty of Agriculture, Hasanuddin University. This study consisted of three activities, there were producing compost, checking the quality and maturity of the compost, and measuring the amount of P. palmivora spores in the cocoa pod husk compost. This study included six treatments, notably P0: without Bioactivator, open pile, P1: T. harzianum, open pile, P2: P. ostreatus, open pile, P3: T. harzianum + P. ostreatus, open pile, P4: T. harzianum + P. ostreatus, open pile P4: without Bioactivator, close pile, P5: T. harzianum, close pile, P6: P. ostreatus, close pile, P7: T. harzianum + P. ostreatus close pile. Based on the compost maturity test and nutritional content analysis of cocoa waste, it can be seen that the most effective treatment in composting cocoa pod shells was the T. harzianum + P. ostreatus in open pile treatment, the highest levels of P2O5 and K2O but lowest levels of C/N.  Composting process had also reduced the amount of P. palmivora in cocoa pod husk waste.
