Abstract

The study aims to determine the effectiveness of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae in processing vegetable waste into compost with the addition of molasses and EM4. The composting process was evaluated by analyzing its physical properties (pH, moisture content, temperature, color, and odor) and chemical properties (phosphorus, potassium, and C/N ratio). The results were then compared with SNI 19-7030-2004, along with an analysis of feed consumption and the waste reduction index (WRI). The research was conducted from March to August 2022 at the Environmental Engineering Laboratory, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning, Universitas Islam Indonesia, Yogyakarta. The results showed that the compost composition did not differ significantly among the reactors fed with different types of vegetable waste. The obtained values were as follows: phosphorus (P) 0.00057%, potassium (K) 84.74%, organic carbon (C) 3.51%, nitrogen (N) 4.50%, average temperature 27.34°C, average pH 8.798, moisture content 42.89%, feed consumption 95%, and WRI 1.43. The compost had an earthy odor typical of soil and a dark coloration.
