Growth Performance of Hermetia illucens and Tenebrio molitor in Different Organic Waste Biconversion Process

The amount of organic waste in Indonesia has increased. One solution to reduce the amount of organic waste is to use the concept of bioconversion. Bioconversion can be done using the larvae of insects Hermetia illucens and Tenebrio molitor. The type of organic waste and the amount of organic waste given affects the change in body weight of the larvae Hermetia illucens and Tenebrio molitor (P>0.01). The largest change in the body weight of Hermetia illucens larvae occurs in the market waste media and the largest change in the body weight of Tenebrio molitor larvae occurs in chicken manure. The survival rates of Hermetia illucens and Tenebrio molitor are highest in the market waste media.
