(Unila): Satria Ladiba, one the Unila students demonstrated the process of making \u00a0liquid organic fertiliser. He first poured out liquid organic fertiliser (POC) that has been fermented for two weeks.<\/p>\n
The thick, yellow-brown liquid then flowed from the pot into a small bucket, looking clean and without spreading foul odours. Dozens of participants were paying close attention to the fertiliser made from a mixture of goat manure, molasses and EM4.<\/p>\n
The fermentation process is deemed successful when the colour of the POC solution turns yellow-brown, and when neither maggots nor foul smell is found.<\/p>\n
The student majoring in soil studies at the Faculty of Agriculture, Unila, deliberately brought a sample of liquid organic fertiliser in the forms of goat manure and molasses as basic substances of\u00a0POC production.<\/p>\n
The POC and Biosaka were created\u00a0by Satria Ladiba and\u00a0his\u00a0colleagues,\u00a0Alex Sandro Nainggolan, Ida Septiani Anjelica, Intan Wulandari, Lulu Wahyu Utami, Nia Jessica Lona, and Nur’aini Elsyifa Putri.<\/p>\n
The aimed at providing the farmers with knowledge and skills in\u00a0making POC and Biosaka so that they\u00a0had capability of generating\u00a0their own fertiliser.<\/p>\n
POC is made of goat or cow manure\u00a0and\u00a0molasses\u00a0and it is\u00a0mixed with agricultural EM4 as decomposing bacteria, and water. All ingredients are mixed until evenly distributed and put into a tightly closed container, fermentation lasts\u00a0for 14 days under anaerobic conditions (without oxygen).<\/p>\n
Unlike POC, Biosaka is made from\u00a0fresh green grass and\u00a0the extract of leaves\u00a0free from\u00a0by pests, fungi, and viruses.\u00a0It is a plant extract solution as an elicitor that can increase plant productivity.<\/p>\n
Biosaka contains hormones, spores, and bacteria that can spur the formation of secondary metabolites so that plants have resistance to pathogens and grow more fertile.<\/p>\n
The use of biosaka in plant cultivation is also one of the efforts to protect ecologically-based plants to preserve the environment. Biosaka is mixed with water and sprayed on the leaves of plants once for every ten days. [PR Team]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
