Abstract

Soil biological properties are various aspects related to the life of microorganisms and macroorganisms in the soil and biological activities. This study aims to understand how soil organisms and their biological activities contribute to soil fertility and plant health. This study used a purposive sampling method and was analyzed using descriptive analysis. Soil biological properties, including the total number of bacteria and fungi, were observed to assess the effect of Black Soldier Fly larvae (kasgot) fertilizer application. The results showed that treatment variations had a significant effect on the population of fungi and bacteria in the rhizosphere. The highest value of the fungal population was recorded in the M1 treatment without the first treatment, while the lowest value was in the M1 treatment with the first treatment, indicating that the type and frequency of treatment can drastically affect fungal growth. For the bacterial population, the M3 treatment in the first application showed the highest effectiveness, while the M2 treatment in the second application showed the lowest results, highlighting the importance of the dose and application stage in increasing the bacterial population. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of selecting the right treatment to optimize the soil microbial population in agricultural practices.

Abstract

Regular use of organic fertilizer can improve soil health, reduce erosion, and increase agricultural sustainability by reducing dependence on synthetic chemicals. Kasgot fertilizer or used maggot fertilizer is a type of organic fertilizer produced from maggot droppings (larva lalat Black Soldier Fly) after they decompose organic waste. This fertilizer is rich in essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and contains various beneficial microorganisms that help increase soil fertility. This research aims to determine the effect of cassava fertilizer on the growth of cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L.).This study used non-factorial RAK with 4 administration dose levels, namely: M0= 0 grams/planting hole, M1= 5 grams/planting hole, M2= 10 grams/planting hole and M3= 20 grams/planting hole. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance tests on the parameters of plant height, number of leaves and root weight. The results of the research showed that the parameters of plant height and number of leaves showed significant differences between plants aged 2 WAP and 4 WAP, while root weight did not have a significant difference between treatments and each replication. Additional doses or other organic materials are needed to increase the macro nutrients available in the soil.
