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.
