Efficiency of Effective Microorganism Corporation with Animal Manure on the Azolla Yield

Abstract

The experiment was conducted following factorial in Completely randomized design (CRD) with 6x3x2, first factor was carried out with six types of animal manure [chicken powder manure, chicken pellet manure, swine manure, cow manure, quail manure mix with cow manure (1:3) and bat manure mix with cow manure (1:3)] second factor with three varying levels of animal manure (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 kg) and fermented with or without effective microorganism (EM) in third factor. The experiment was conducted in cement pond with 100 cm. of diameter and high 50 cm. (0.79 m²) and 30 days were collected data. The objective was determine the Efficiency of EM corporation with animal manure on the Azolla yield The results found that higher of Azolla yield in cultivated with or without EM fermented of quail manure mix with cow manure (1:3) at 0.5 – 1.5 kg per cement pond and bat manure mix with cow manure (1:3) 1 – 1.5 kg per cement pond than chicken powder manure, chicken pellet manure, swine manure and cow manure in all levels and used 1.5 kg of chicken powder manure were lowest Azolla yield.
