The continual increment of a population requires sufficient food, while agricultural land for rice cultivation keeps on declining. Therefore, the habit of consuming rice needs to be reduced. This study was aimed to get the best quality analog rice from non-milled rice based on the proportion of raw materials, time, and sensory. This study used the ingredients of cassava flour, sorghum, sweet potatoes, corn + lablab bean, and soybeans. Cooking oil, salt, glycerol monostearate, Na-alginate, and sodium three polyphosphates were used as additional ingredients and mixed in various formulation/ratios. These formula ingredients were extruded using KL Protecal Twin-screw to produce analog rice grains. A randomized block design was used in this study. The randomized block design was repeated three times. In order to determine the best treatment, this study employed the 5% LSD test. The results of this study showed that flour from cassava, sweet potato, sorghum, corn + lablab bean, and soybeans can be formulated as an analog rice ingredient. Cassava flour, sweet potato, sorghum, corn + lablab bean were used as the source of carbohydrates, and the soy flour was used as a source of protein. This study found that the best ratio would be 4.5: 4.5: 1 for cassava flour: 50% corn + 50% lablab bean flour: soy flour. The cooking process required 1.5 mL to 2 mL of water per gram of analog rice, and the cooking time would be 10-15 mins. The sensory values of color, taste, aroma, and texture were on the scale of average like to very like.

Biofertilizer enable to improve nutrient cycle in soil and induce plant growth and production, but sweet potatoes farmers in Indonesia are still use only chemical fertilizer as a source of plant nutrient. The objectives of this experiment were to evaluate the effect of different doses of consortium biofertilizer to reduce chemical fertilizer dose; and maintain yield and sweetness of two sweet potato varieties. The experimental design was completely randomized block design which tested six combinations of different chemical fertilizer and biofertilizer doses. Analysis of variance was performed to determine any significant differences between the means of treatments. The results showed that the response of both sweet potatoes varieties on combined application of chemical and bio fertilizer was differ. All treatments did not change tuber number and weight of sweet potato var. Awachy-1 but increased those of var. Rancing. Application of diazotrophic bacteria (Azotobacter, Azospirillum and Acinetobacter) mixed with phosphate solubilizing microbes (Pseudomonas and Penicillium) with reduced fertilizer doses up to 75% did not alter soil available nitrogen and phosphorous. Despite different fertilizer rates, tubers number of both sweet potato varieties in individual plot was similar. Yield did not change due to reduction of fertilizer dose up to 75% when biofertilizer was applied. However, yield was potentially decreased when chemical fertilizer was only 50%. All fertilizer treatments did not change the sweetness of tuber which indicated by constant brix. Research suggested that biofertilizer might substitute 25% of chemical fertilizer to obtain the same yield and quality of tuber, and maintain the availability soil nitrogen and phosphorous.

Tailings are waste generated from the processing of gold ore. The tailings in Kertajaya Village, Sukabumi are generally dumped into a pond or garden which is then used by the community to grow crops. The characteristics of the tailings, which contain low organic matter, microorganism activity, CEC and essential nutrients, make it necessary to improve their condition. This study aimed to determine the effect of adding top soil and compost to the tailings on the growth of sweet potatoes in the vegetative phase. This experiment used a factorial randomized block design with two factors, namely a top soil-tailing ratio of 3 levels (70: 30% w/w; 50: 50% w/w; and 30: 70% w/w) and a compost dose of 4. level (without compost (control); 10 t ha-1; 20 t ha-1; and 30 t ha-1) with 3 replications. The results showed that the combination of the addition of top soil ratios and the dose of compost to the tailings had no effect on the addition of tendrils length, tendril diameter and number of sweet potato branches during the vegetative phase. The addition of 70% top soil independently on the tailings had an effect on the highest increase in tendril length, tendril diameter and number of branches of sweet potato. Meanwhile, the application of compost dosage of 30 t ha-1 had the highest effect on the number of branches of sweet potato.

Utilization of maize waste as the organic matter sources in agricultural land couldn’t be directly applied, caused by late decomposition prosess. An effort to accelerate of maize waste decomposting needed bioactivator. The research was conducted in green house and Bajeng Research Intallation from March to August 2015. The research was arranged in randomized block design using isolate bacteria and fungus just one or theier combining ie: three bacteria  (B7.1,E7.7and E7.11), three fungus (M7, O5, P7), and four bacteria-fungus combining(B7.1+O5, B7.1+M7, E7.7+P7, B7.1+E7.7+O5), EM4 and N,P,K fertilizer(200,45,60) ha-1as the check treatment. Just one isolate fertilized by 75 percent N,P,K while combine isolate fertilized by 50 percent N,P,K recommended. The results indicated that just one decomposer E7.7 produced high enouugh grain yield not siqnificantly different by N,P,K (200,45,60) and five other just one treatment (E7.11,B7.1,M7 and O5), however siqnificantly different with combining decomposer (B7.1+O5, E7.11+M7, E7.7+P7, B7.1+E7.7+O5 and EM4). This mean that using stalk plus leaf waste maize compost could be subtitution in organic fertilizer untill 25 percent. Meanwhile combining decomposer was good enough for composting stalk and leaf of maize waste ie. isolate B7.1+O5 and E7.7+P7 although not significntly different with the other combine isolate including EM4. Thise case related by applied 50 percent N,P,K inorganic recommended fertilizer did not sufficient to supporting maize nutrient.Key Words: Decomposer, Bacteria, Fungus, Composting,Maize waste
