<![CDATA[The potential of Exotic Earth worm Endogeik (Pontoscolex corethrurus) for Production Vermikompos   granules (Vermigran) Local Organil-Based Materials. In 2011, total demand for organic fertilizer in Indonesia was 12.394 million tons and 2.601 million tons of new available. This requirement will continue to increase until 2015, so the opportunity  to  develop  great organic fertilizer. One disadvantage of the use of organic fertilizers is very much in   volume (bulky), it is necessary   vermikompos manufacturing innovation in  the  form  of granules to  be  more efficient  in  the applicationand transport. Research objectives are: (1) study the potential    of earthworms in producing vermikompos Pontoscolex   corethrurus of l local organic ingredients, and (2)produce quality vermikompos in the form of granules. The study   was  conducted in  a  greenhouse Fak. Agriculture and in  the  yard  of a house in Ngesrep,  Boyolali, in July-November 2011. The   study design using a Completely Randomized Design, factorial,two factor. Factor 1 is composed of three types of worms  cedar, and the second factoris the variation of the type of organic material, consisting of 7 cedar. The variablesmeasured were vermikompos nutrient quality and speed of the water solubility vermikompos  granules. The results showed that Pontoscolex corethrurus high potentialto produce vermikompos that meet ISO  quality  compost.  Cow  pile, pile quail, water hyacinth  can be used as a raw material  vermikompos.  Clay,  starch, starch and claymixture (1:1) can be used as an adhesive vermikompos granules (vermigran) soluble in  water at <48 hours. Production vermigran great potential for  developmentas a high-quality organic fertilizer.]]>
