Abstract

The livestock areas are characterized by vast quantities of animal wastes that can be used as organic manure through composting and biochar production for soil fertility enhancement. This work aims to estimate the potential of increasing soil fertility and red chili production by employing biochar and poschar from different animal wastes. The design used for this study is a factorial pattern and randomized block. The first factor is the type of biochar used, including no biochar, biochar derived from cow manure, biochar derived from goat manure, and biochar derived from chicken manure. The second factor is the type of poschar; this includes poschar derived from cow manure, poschar derived from goat, poschar derived from chicken manure. It can be concluded from the investigation outcomes that applying biochar and poschar substantially affects soil factors such as water content, pH, EC, humic acid, fulvic acid, C, N, P, K, and CEC values. Red chilies increase and yield higher per hectare when various forms of biochar and poschar are applied. The combustion of cow manure and application of biochar products and biochar made from chicken manure produce the highest agronomic performance.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of biochar and poschar fertilisers derived from livestock manure on red chilli yields and soil organic matter variations. The results demonstrated that the interaction between biochar and poschar substantially affected the fresh chilli pod weight per plant and organic matter content. Applying biochar and poschar organic fertilisers derived from animal manure substantially influenced plant height, fresh fruit weight per plant, and soil organic matter. The interaction between cow manure and poschar from poultry manure produced the highest yield of chilli fruit weight per plant, or an increase of 323.88% compared to the absence of biochar and poschar. The organic matter content of the soil underwent a significant change, with the highest organic matter content resulting from the interaction between chicken biochar and chicken poschar, which increased by 143,00% compared to the control group.

Abstract

The ornamental plant farmer group Agro Pudak Lestari has long cultivated chrysanthemums. In the cultivation of chrysanthemums, the Agro Pudak Lestari farmer group experienced several obstacles, namely yields that did not meet market criteria caused by white rust disease. Antagonistic microorganisms (Trichoderma sp.) effectively control white rust disease. White rust disease is a soil infectious disease so countermeasures are carried out by making compost containing the biological agent Trchoderma (Trichocompost fertilizer). From the survey results, the results of flower damage due to rust disease reached 80%. Furthermore, after the application of Trichocompost fertilizer treatment, it suppressed rust disease by 56.4%. From this activity, it was able to reduce yield losses by 23.4% and increase farmers' income by 28.2%. The use of Trichocompost fertilizer can overcome white rust disease in chrysanthemum plants so it can increase farmer productivity.
