Tacca (Tacca leontopetaloides (Linn.) O. Kuntze) is a tropical plant that is widely used for its starch in some countries as well as a medicinal plant. Tacca has advantages as it can grow on sand in tropical seashore areas and rain forests. Farmers in Madura Island Indonesia cultivated tacca by using mother tubers as propagules and harvest the daughter tubers, but no studies have been conducted on the growth of mini tubers and their cultivation. The purpose of this study was to find the best combination of planting media and the size of mini tuber for growing tacca. The experiment was set in a completely randomized block design with two factors and three replications. The planting media are sand : rice-hull charcoal : cow manure (1:1:1 v/v), soil : sand : cow manure (1:1:1 v/v), soil : rice-hull charcoal : cow manure (1:1:1 v/v), and soil : cow manure (1:1 v/v);mini-tuber weight are1-5 and  5.1-20 g. The result showed that Polynesian arrowroot grow best on sand : rice-hull charcoal : cow manure (1:1:1 v/v) and rice-hull charcoal : cow manure (1:1 v/v) media. Both propagules sizes can be used, but plants from large mini-tuber had better growth and produced larger mother and daughter tubers. Key words: mini tuber, parent tuber, Polynesian arrowroot, organic media planting, secondary tuber

Coffee exocarp waste produced from the harvest can be used as raw material for compost. The composting can be added with other ingredients to add organic material. Cow manure is the one ingredient that can be added to enrich organic materials. In the composting process, the time required will be longer, but the time can be accelerated by adding a bio activator. The finished compost can be applied at the plant to meet crop nutrient elements. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of bio activator variation and doses of cow manure on the quality of compost from coffee exocarp waste. This research was conducted at compost house of Assessment Institute for Agricultural Technology (AIAT) and was held on February - April 2017. This research used factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with two factors; there is a variation of bio activator and doses of cow manure with three replication. Total number of treatment this research were 12 treatment, there are D1S1 = EM4 + 2 kg cow manure ; D2S1 = Moebillin + 2 kg cow manure; Petrofast + 2 kg cow manure; Decoprima + 2 kg cow manure; D1S2 = EM4 + 4 kg cow manure; D2S2 = Moebillin + 4 kg cow manure; D3S2 = Petrofast + 4 kg cow manure; D4S2 = Decoprima + 4 kg cow manure; D1S3: EM4 + 6 kg cow manure; D2S3 = Moebillin + 6 kg cow manure; D3S3 = Petrofast + 6 kg cow manure; D4S3 = Decoprima + 6 kg cow manure. The data obtained will be processed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). If there is a real effect, it will be continued using the BNT test (Least Significant Differences/LSD) with a 5% level. The Results showed the application of bio activator Decoprima (D4) and a dose of 6 kg cow manure (S3) could increase and shows the highest value of pH compost 6,01 (D4) and 6,06 (S3). The dose of 2 kg cow manure (S1) showed the highest compost shrinkage value (34.64%) compared to the 4 kg dose cow manure (S2) (32,22%) and 6 kg (S3) (25,68%). On the other hand, the application of bio activator variation and doses of cow manure did not significantly affect the quality of compost, including N-total (2,15% -2,60%), C-organic (21,40% -24,91%) and C/N ratio (8,81-11,15). The physical properties of the aroma compost show the smell of soil, and the color of the compost is dark brown.
