Abstract

Post-mining lands in Indonesia are characterized by severely degraded soils with low fertility, high acidity, and poor water retention, posing major challenges for agricultural rehabilitation. This study investigates the effect of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) compost at varying dosages (0%, 25%, and 50%) on early vegetative growth parameters of forage maize over a 30-day period. A randomized complete block design was used with six replications per treatment. Key growth indicators—plant height, stem diameter, and their respective growth rates—were measured and statistically analyzed. Results showed that the 50% compost treatment significantly increased plant height (51.87 cm) and height growth rate (1.73 cm/day) compared to lower dosages. Stem diameter parameters, while numerically improved, did not yield statistically significant differences. The improved growth is attributed to enhanced nutrient availability, microbial activity, and water retention due to compost application. These findings confirm that compost from invasive biomass can effectively improve degraded soils and initiate early crop development. The study contributes to sustainable land reclamation strategies and emphasizes that there must be long-term assessments of compost.

Abstract

Rice bran, an important byproduct of the milling process, has enormous potential as a source of local feed ingredients. This research aims to evaluate the physical quality and organoleptic parameters of rice bran to ensure the availability of quality local feed. The research method used is the survey method with a purposive sampling technique, and the data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The findings of this study are expected to provide insights into the optimal use of rice bran in animal feed formulations. By assessing its nutritional value and overall quality, this research could contribute to more sustainable feeding practices in the local agriculture sector. The results show that the best physical quality of rice bran is found in the sub-districts of Panyipatan, Bajuin, and Batu Ampar, which meet the ideal specific gravity and bulk density ranges for use as feed ingredients. In contrast, Tambang Ulang and Kurau have relatively lower values for some parameters, requiring further processing before optimal application. Rice bran from most sub-districts in Tanah Laut Regency is considered suitable for use as feed raw material.

Abstract

Dedak padi merupakan salah satu hasil samping penggilingan beras yang berpotensi besar sebagai bahan pakan ternak, namun kualitasnya sangat dipengaruhi oleh proses pengolahan dan kandungan sekam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi karakteristik fisikokimia dedak padi yang diperoleh dari beberapa pabrik penggilingan di Kabupaten Tanah Laut, Kalimantan Selatan, pada periode Jani–Juli 2025. Parameter yang diamati meliputi kadar air, kadar abu, persentase sekam, serta uji floroglusinol dengan bantuan analisis citra digital. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei dengan teknik purposive sampling, yaitu pengambilan sampel berdasarkan wilayah di Kabupaten Tanah Laut. Sampel dedak padi diperoleh dari 11 kecamatan yang memiliki aktivitas penggilingan padi, dengan setiap kecamatan diambil empat titik penggilingan dari desa berbeda. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara deskriptif untuk menghitung nilai rata-rata, standar deviasi dari parameter kualitas dedak padi di tiap wilayah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kadar air dedak padi berkisar antara 9,36–12,18%, kadar abu 4,79–12,33%, persentase sekam 2,15–27,08%, serta intensitas warna merah dari hasil analisis warna berbasis citra digital pada uji floroglusinol sebesar 10,71–39,27%. Sebagian besar dedak padi tergolong mutu I, sedangkan dedak dari Kecamatan Panyipatan termasuk mutu II. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa semakin tinggi persentase warna merah yang terdeteksi melalui analisis citra digital, semakin besar pula kandungan sekam dalam dedak padi. Hasil penelitian ini menyoroti pentingnya penerapan teknologi analisis sederhana dan akurat untuk mengklasifikasikan mutu dedak padi di tingkat lokal. Direkomendasikan untuk dilakukan penelitian lanjut mengenai analisis proksimat nutrisi untuk memperkuat basis data kualitas dedak padi sebagai bahan pakan.
