Cara sederhana menguji kualitas POG: Untuk petani agar tidak tertipu

Sudah menjadi tuntutan jaman kalau aplikasi pupuk saat ini sedang bergeser dari pupuk kimia ke pupuk organik. Lebih khusus lagi ke pupuk organik granul (POG). Pemerintah memberikan subsidi sangat besar untuk POG, dan juga POC (Pupuk Organik Cair).

Greatness of White-rot Fungi

Phanerochaete chrysosporium

One of the distinction of white-rot fungi (WRF) is ability to degrade lignin completely into CO2 and H2O. This capability not possessed by other microorganisms. Experiments in the laboratory that reported in scientific scientific journals prove this evidences.

JPP has enzymes that can degrade lignin, ie: laccase, lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase. These enzymes are a very strong oxidant. This enzyme can break down lignin. As we know that lignin is a very complex macromolecules and very strong protector. Lignin are a protective compound, which is very strong and very resistant.

This unique ability of WRF could be use for many proposes. For examples, WRF used to degrade organic matter that high lignin content, lignocellulose biomass. Recently, WRF are developed for biopulping, biobleaching, and degrade pollutants.

Cara Mudah Menguji Keaslian Pupuk Kandang atau Kohe (Kotoran Hewan)

Tingginya permintaan pupuk organik granul (POG) mendorong permintaan bahan baku POG ini. Bahan baku utama POG adalah kompos, baik kompos dari sisa tanaman atau kotoran hewan (pupuk kandang). Permintaan kompos, terutama kohe sangatlah tinggi.

Andaikan saja, menurut bocoran (jangan dipercaya ya..), kebutuhan POG tahun depan mencapai ratusan ton. Taruhlah 500 ton saja. Proporsi pupuk kandang dalam POG kurang lebih 60%, jadi kebutuhan kohe mencapai 300 ton. Ini kohe kering (kadar airnya di bawah 10%), halus, dan sudah matang. Perkiraan jumlah kohe mentah yang diperlukan bisa mencapai 1000 ton. Permintaan yang luar biasa besar.

Oil Palm Mill Waste

Indonesia today is a biggest producer of CPO (crude palm oil) in the world and has the largest palm oil plantation in the world. Palm area in Indonesia in 2007, according Dirjenbun, Department of Agriculture, estimated to reach 6.6 million ha and the production of CPO in the year reached 17.3 million tons. The area and production is expected to continue to rise given the current intensively conducted slowly opening new oil, especially in the island of Kalimantan and Papua.

Mushrooms on OPEFB (Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches) Pile

Some time ago I visited one of the oil palm plantation in Palembang. Area of palm oil palm plantations is not too large, approximately 8000 ha (core plantation) and 40,000 ha (plasma). Fresh fruit bunches (FFB) harvested from the plantation is then processed in the palm oil mill near at one end of the garden. Factory processing capacity currently approximately 50 tons of FFB / hour. From the processing of FFB produced CPO (crude palm oil), waste OPEFB (oil palm empty bunches), and liquid waste. OPEFB waste volume large enough, in one day can reach 150 tons.

Managing Organic Waste from Traditional Markets: Easier and Cheapest Method

This article about managing organic waste is a different with articel which I have previously written (Managing Organic Waste in Bunderan Traditional Market, Sragen-Indonesia). This method of managing organic waste is more simple and better than the previous method.

Organic waste from traditional markets, have slightly different characteristics with waste from housing. The composition of the waste from traditional markets are more dominated by organic waste. Plastic trash fewer than plastic waste from the housing. Moreover, if the waste came from the vegetable market or a fruit market, the organic waste will be more. I think this article is more suitable for the waste from traditional markets, more specifically the waste from vegetable and fruit market. This article based on real experience. Processed organic waste into compost and organic fertilizer granules.

Organic Fertilizer, Biofertilizer, and Chemical Fertilizer

Many people are often wrong in perception when using chemical fertilizers, bio-fertilizers and organic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers and bio-fertilizers is often equated with chemical fertilizers. Every kind of those fertilizers is very different.

Pabrik Pupuk Organik Granul Besar di Jawa Tengah

Beberapa waktu yang lalu saya sempat main ke sebuah pabrik pupuk organik granul skala besar. Kapasitas per harinya bisa mencapai 200 ton POG. Pemilik pabriknya adalah Bapak Haji M. Bisri dan lokasinya di Secang Jawa Tengah.

Dengan kapasitas sebesar ini, rasanya pabrik ini adalah pabrik POG terbesar di Jawa Tengah yang pernah aku kunjungi. Lebih besar dari yang di sragen, klaten, dan jogja.
