IMBANGAN KOTORAN KAMBING DAN DAUN BAMBU KERING TERHADAP KARAKTERISTIK KOMPOS

This research aims to determine the characteristics of goat feces compost with the addition of dry bamboo leaves through experiments. The type of research used was experimental using RAL in a unidirectional pattern with 3 treatments and 6 replications. In formula P1, 15 kg of goat feces is used and 15 kg of dry bamboo. In the P2 formula, 10 kg of goat feces is used and 20 kg of dry bamboo. Meanwhile, in P3, 20 kg of goat feces is used and 10 kg of dry bamboo. Research analysis uses the RAL and Duncan tests. The results showed that the balance of goat feces with the addition of dry bamboo leaves in 3 treatments with 6 replications showed a real difference in the characteristics of the compost. The results of research on P1 with 6 replications showed that the temperature reached an average of 29C, the water content reached an average of 51,733%, the average color was blackish brown, the average odor was not strong and had an earthy smell, and the texture was smooth. The results of the research on P2 with 6 repetitions showed that the temperature reached an average of 28C, the water content reached an average of 49,400%, the average color was brown, the average smell was not strong and had an earthy smell, and had a rough texture. The results of the research on P3 with 6 repetitions, it shows that the temperature reaches an average of 30C, the water content reaches an average of 54,400%, the average color is blackish brown, the average smell is strong, and the texture is slightly rough. From these results it can be concluded that the P1 formula produces characteristics that are in accordance with SNI for compost maturity. Meanwhile, the P2 and P3 formulas produce characteristics that are not in accordance with SNI for compost maturity
