Biofertilizer is a living microorganism that is useful for increasing soil fertility and the quality of production of a plant. Biofertilizer VP3 which has been formulated and developed in previous studies contains 3 soil bacteria, namely N free fixing bacteria, phosphate and bacterial solvents EPS producing bacteria (exopolysaccharide). VP3 biological fertilizer that is applied with compost can be used to degrade compost into humus (fine particles / colloids) which plays an important role for microorganisms, soil and plants with applications for a certain period. The design used was a randomized block design (RBD) with 8 treatments 3 replications. Provision of biofertilizers and NPK fertilizers affect the viability of soil bacteria. The treatment of VP3 biofertilizer with compost and combined with NPK fertilizer 25%, 50% and 75% had yields (number of pods and weight of dry seeds) green beans which were not significantly different or not significant, while biological fertilizer treatment with compost with NPK combination 25 % has the yield of green beans which is not significantly different from the treatment of biofertilizers and compost only. The treatment of VP3 biofertilizer with compost alone without a combination of NPK fertilizer is more economical for farmers.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
