Abstract

Using inorganic fertilizers has been proven to increase soil productivity, but excessive use can cause soil and environmental damage. To overcome this problem, liquid organic fertilizer from banana humps can be an alternative solution. This article explains the process of making liquid organic fertilizer from banana corms and its impact on plant growth through community service and practicum activities. Students from the Agroecotechnology Study Program at Greenhouse of the Universitas Sulawesi Barat have successfully produced liquid organic fertilizer. The manufacturing process involves cleaning, cutting, and fermenting banana corms with the addition of brown sugar and rice washing water. The results of this fermentation can improve soil quality and plant productivity with an application method that is quite efficient and environmentally friendly.

Abstract

High evaporation in coastal areas leads to salt accumulation in the soil, elevating soil salinity. Tomato plants (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) are one of the ideal plants for evaluating saline soil amelioration strategies. Inadequate saline soil treatment is an obstacle for farmers in developing their agricultural practices. Therefore, saline soil remediation using biochar was conducted to reduce soil salinity levels. The study was conducted using a non- factorial randomized block design (RBD) with 4 replications and 4 treatments, namely B0 (control), B1 (50 grams of biochar), B2 (100 grams of biochar), and B3 (150 grams of biochar) with observation parameters of plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, and number of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AMF) spores. The results of this study showed that biochar had no significant effect on plant growth and the number of spores in tomato roots. Therefore, based on the study's results, the use of biochar in tomato growing media did not significantly affect plant growth parameters or the number of AMF spores in the growing media. Various factors, including environmental conditions and interactions between the growing media and host plants, may influence this. Recommended that further research be conducted on the process of producing biochar using anaerobic pyrolysis or closed pyrolysis methods. This is important because anaerobic combustion can produce more stable biochar.
