Abstract

This study aims to analyze what anti-microbial power contained in plants and starfruit plants, and compare which plants are stronger anti-microbial power. The method used in this study is an experimental method, with Escherichia coli bacteria as a representative of disease-causing bacteria. The data obtained were analyzed using the ANOVA test. Based on the results of the study, the stems and leaves of the plant leaves and leaves of star fruit positive containing the composition of secondary metabolites saponins that have antimicrobial power that utilizes the growth ability of E coli. The average diameter of inhibitory zones of plant extracts of wake-up and starfruit ≥ 21 mm, so it is categorized as having strong antimicrobial power. However, the inhibitory zones formed have not been able to match or beat the inhibition zones C 25% (52.54 and 43.1), ciprofloxacin (64.41), which is antibiotics sold on the market that are made with positive control.

Abstract

Fruit waste management has gained increasing attention as an eco-friendly approach to sustainable agriculture. The increasing accumulation of organic waste, particularly from fruit residues, poses a significant environmental challenge. Utilizing these waste materials for agricultural purposes can contribute to waste reduction and soil fertility improvement. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of orange and tomato juice application on the growth and yield of potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L.), considering the potential of fruit waste as an organic fertilizer. A Randomized Block Design (RBD) was employed with two treatments: orange juice and tomato juice, each at five concentration levels (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) with three replications, totaling 75 samples. The parameters observed included the number of leaves, stem height, number of tubers, and tuber weight. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results indicated that orange juice significantly increased leaf number, stem height, and tuber weight, while tomato juice had a limited effect. No significant interaction was observed between the two treatments. These findings highlight the potential of fruit waste as an alternative organic fertilizer for sustainable agriculture.
