Abstract

Soil biological properties are various aspects related to the life of microorganisms and macroorganisms in the soil and biological activities. This study aims to understand how soil organisms and their biological activities contribute to soil fertility and plant health. This study used a purposive sampling method and was analyzed using descriptive analysis. Soil biological properties, including the total number of bacteria and fungi, were observed to assess the effect of Black Soldier Fly larvae (kasgot) fertilizer application. The results showed that treatment variations had a significant effect on the population of fungi and bacteria in the rhizosphere. The highest value of the fungal population was recorded in the M1 treatment without the first treatment, while the lowest value was in the M1 treatment with the first treatment, indicating that the type and frequency of treatment can drastically affect fungal growth. For the bacterial population, the M3 treatment in the first application showed the highest effectiveness, while the M2 treatment in the second application showed the lowest results, highlighting the importance of the dose and application stage in increasing the bacterial population. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of selecting the right treatment to optimize the soil microbial population in agricultural practices.

Abstract

Nitrogen fixing fungi are fungi capable of fixing free nitrogen into ammonium or nitrate, so that it can be absorbed by plants. Many species of microbes/fungi have the ability to fix nitrogen, but very few are able to excrete nitrogen in the form of ammonia so that their contribution in providing nitrogen for plants is also still low. This study aims to determine the characteristics and type of nitrogen fixing fungi in fruit and vegetable waste compost. The method used in this research was descriptive method. Identification of nitrogen-fixing fungi was carried out macroscopically by looking at the color of the colonies, the shape of the colonies, and the diameter of the fungal colonies, an then identified by molecularly. There were 4 isolates of nitrogen-fixing fungi capable of forming clear zones on Jensen's media with different morphological characteristics and nitrogen-fixing abilities. The largest diameter of the clear zone was shown in isolate A3 of 3.2 cm which is the fungus Aspergillus niger strain SG1.
