| Summary: | Excessive chemical fertilizers can increase carbon emissions and accelerate land degradation. To overcome this challenge, mitigation efforts are needed, such as using biofilm-forming microbes to reduce water evaporation and household waste as compost and liquid organic fertilizer to improve degraded soil quality. This study aims to determine the effect of Biofilm Biofertilizer, Compost, and Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) on the growth of pakcoi plants. This study used a three-factor (fertilizer type, inorganic fertilizer doses, and organic fertilizer doses) with a Complete Group Randomized Design with 14 treatments (N0: Control, N1: 100 % NPK + 0 Organic fertilizer, NB 2: 75% NPK + 25% BFBF, NB 3: 50% NPK + 50% BFBF, NB 4: 25 % NPK + 75% BFBF, NB 5: 0% NPK + 100% BFBF, NP 2: 75% NPK + 25% LOF, NP 3: 50% NPK + 50% LOF, NP 4: 25 % NPK + 75% LOF, NP 5: 0 NPK + 100 % LOF, NR 2: 75% NPK + 25% Compost, NR 3: 50% NPK + 50% Compost, NR 4: 25 % NPK + 75% Compost, NR 5: 0% NPK + 100% Compost). The observation parameters in this study include plant height, number, and width of leaves. Data analysis was carried out with ANOVA and continued with DMRT. The results showed that the 50% NPK + 50% biofilm biofertilizer treatment can increase plant height, leaf width, and fresh weight of pakchoi plants compared to the control, while the number of leaves with 100% LOF was 16,69% higher than the control. These findings support climate change mitigation strategies by reducing chemical fertilizers that contribute to carbon emissions while adopting sustainable agricultural practices that utilize biofilms and organic materials to increase productivity while maintaining ecosystem health. |
