Abstract

The higher the generation of Pterocarpus indicus, the higher the environmental pollution. This can be overcome by vermicomposting. To improve the quality of the compost, it is necessary to add cow dung and sawdust to the compost. In this study, vermicomposting used the earthworms Eisenia fetida and Eudrilus eugeniae with a composting time of 21 days. The purpose of this study was to analyze the chemical and physical characteristics of the quality of the compost produced from the composting process. The compost material in this study was consist of Pterocarpus indicus, cow dung, and wood powder. Parameter values of Nitrogen, Carbon, Phosphorus, C/N ratio, Potassium, moisture content and C/N ratio will be compared with SNI 19-7030-2004 Concerning Compost Specifications from Domestic Organic Waste. The results of this study indicated that the type of worm and the adding of Banana Hump Local Microorganism affected the physical parameters of the compost yield, as well as affect the chemical parameters, namely pH, potassium, C/N ratio in the compost yield. The type of worm did not affect the value of phosphorus content in the compost. Moisture content, temperature, pH, potassium in the compost of all reactors complied with SNI 19-7030-2004. The ratio of C/N and phosphorus in compost produced from composting using earthworms Eisenia fetida and Eudrilus eugeniae complies with SNI 19-7030-2004. In addition, the compost produced the highest shrinkage compared to compost without earthworms.
