“…It was noticed that the organic substances used for this research had higher amounts of organic carbon and particularly sugarcane trash used for this study (Table 1). These results are in agreement with the results found by the Chang et al (2019); Krishnavane et al, (2020) while working on the sugarcane trash compost production.…”

“…Burning of trash liberates 1240 kg CO2 and other greenhouse gases and loss for nutrients (USDA, 2017). About 45 kg N lost/acre, environmental pollution, resource wastage soil biomass, soil fertility and soil health (Chang, 2019;Dalia et al, 2017;). Generally sugarcane trash is burnt because growers think that it is laborious, alters germination and cultivation pattern.…”

Arable land degradation, agro-waste management coupled with irrational use of chemicals has led to concern about soil and environmental health. The sugarcane crop generates lot of vegetative biomass after harvesting, which is burnt in field creating environmental implications. A research trail was conducted at green house premises department of soil and environment SAU Tandojam. The waste byproducts of the sugarcane trash was blended with pressmud, poultry and goat manure to have decomposed nutrient rich product subjected to 130 days decomposition/composting. Results revealed that the pH had significant relationship with organic substrate decomposition used for the compost preparation blended with sugarcane trash. The organic carbon loss or mineralization showed great variability and had relationship with the substrate used and decomposition time for a finished product. The more organic carbon (31.80%) was recorded for Cspm and (31.80%) C was found for Cpm. Compost product was rich in carbon potassium values corresponding (4.6%) for Cspm and (2.7%) K for Cgm. It was concluded that sugarcane trash can best be blended with sugarcane press mud of agro-industrial waste. Further it could be recycled with agro-industrial waste for waste management, reduce pollution, chemical fertilizers and used as organic soil amendment.

“…Ginger plants that were sprayed with the liquid organic fertilizer looked greener and fresher while those that were not sprayed with liquid organic fertilizer looked pale yellow and unhealthy (figure 4). This was in accordance with the findings of research conducted by Abro et al, (2019). The use of organic fertilizer derived from bananas and other organic sources accelerated composting and increased organic matter, resulting in increased plant growth quality.…”

COVID-19 pandemic had several detrimental effects on the world’s economy and people around the world. Ginger farmers in Genteng Kulon village, Banyuwangi Regency, are one of the communities affected by COVID-19. Since COVID-19 came, the price of chemical fertilizers has remained expensive, and the price of ginger is very high, up to IDR 90.000 per kg, so ginger farmers need a new affordable alternative fertilizer. Fostering the manufacture of liquid organic fertilizer from banana stem waste is the right option to help ginger farmers meet their fertilizer needs and make it efficient in using available waste. The method used in this community development was through the Community Service Program consisting of various activities: training on the production of liquid organic fertilizer; packaging; labeling; and application to ginger plants. The success of this program was evidenced by the level of farmers’ understanding of the procedure being taught, which was assessed using a questionnaire. The results showed that the farmers’ understanding of the material being taught significantly increased as compared with that before they were educated. The percentages of average understanding of the training material for liquid organic fertilizer, packaging, labeling, and application were 75%, 80%, 80%, and 85% respectively. These numbers were very different from those representing the farmers’ knowledge before the training. These average percentages were 15.5%, 14%, 16.5%, and 11.5%. Therefore, this program was successful in providing new knowledge to farmers in the production of liquid organic fertilizer.
