Abstract :
Agricultural waste in the form of rice straw is
a potential local raw material that can be processed into
organic fertilizer and bokashi. At harvest time, this rice
waste is very abundant and has not been utilized
optimally. The use of straw in relation to providing
nutrients and soil organic matter is remodeling it into
compost. EM4 activator is a material that contains
several microorganisms and helps speed up the
compostingprocess.
The purpose of this study was to utilize rice straw
waste with EM4 activator, to measure the physical
properties of the bokashi fertilizer, temperature, color,
smell, texture, pH, and length of time to make bokashi.
This research was conducted in the area of the State
Agricultural Polytechnic Production Laboratory of
Samarinda. This research was conducted for 3 months
starting from October 20 to December 20, 2017,
including preparation, making bokashi, data collection
andreporting.
The results of the research on making bokashi
fertilizer from rice straw (Oryza sativa L.) using
activator EM4 can be seen that the observation of
bokashi fertilizer was carried out until the 21st day and
it looks ripe with observations of temperature 28 C °, pH
7, brown color. blackish andodorless.
