Abstract

Ecoenzyme is an organic fermentation solution obtained from household organic waste, which has great potential in supporting sustainable environmental management. This study aims to review the benefits and applications of ecoenzymes based on current literature, and evaluate their relevance to global environmental challenges. The results of the review indicate that ecoenzymes play an effective role in waste treatment, pollution reduction, and improving soil and water quality. In addition, ecoenzymes also contribute to climate change mitigation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Despite its significant benefits, the adoption of ecoenzymes on a large scale faces challenges, such as the lack of standardization of production processes and the need for more in-depth scientific validation. Therefore, further research is needed to optimize the use of ecoenzymes and support their application in various sectors. This study is expected to be a reference for the development of environmentally friendly technologies that are in line with the principles of sustainable development. Key words: ecoenzyme, environmental management, sustainable development, climate change mitigation, organic waste

Abstract

Eco-enzyme is a fermentation product of organic waste containing bioactive compounds and nutrients, making it a potential liquid organic fertilizer to enhance horticultural crop growth. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different eco-enzyme concentrations on the growth and biomass of spinach (Amaranthus spp.). The experiment used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments: P0 (control, without eco-enzyme), P1 (eco-enzyme 5 ml/L), P2 (eco-enzyme 10 ml/L), and P3 (eco-enzyme 15 ml/L), each replicated four times. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Levene’s homogeneity test, one-way ANOVA or Kruskal–Wallis according to assumption fulfilment, followed by Tukey HSD or pairwise non-parametric comparison. The ANOVA test results showed significant differences between treatments in the first week (F = 36.085; p < 0.001) and the second week (F = 12.349; p = 0.001). The Tukey HSD follow-up test showed that in the first week, all treatments were significantly different, while in the second week significant differences were only found between P3 and P0 and P1, and P2 and P1. In the third week, the homogeneity assumption was not met (p = 0.013), so the analysis was continued using the Kruskal Wallis test. The results showed a significant difference (p = 0.011), but the follow-up test only confirmed the significant difference between P3 and P1. Fresh and dry weights also showed significant differences, with P1 outperforming P3. In conclusion, applying eco-enzyme at a moderate concentration (5 ml/L) effectively enhanced spinach growth and biomass, whereas higher concentrations reduced its effectiveness.Kata Kunci: eco-enzyme, Amaranthus spp., plant growth, biomass
