APPLICATION BIOFERTILIZERS BIOVAM - LIPI TO PROMOTE PLANT GROWTH OF JACKFRUIT

Applications of biofertilizer products (BIOVAM - LIPI) is one activity biovillage program - LIPI to promote plant growth of jackfruit. The research shows that the application of biofertilizer BIOVAM significantly different at plant height and diameter compared to the control. Back to nature, to harness the potential of soil microbes as biofertilizer. The fact that happened people prefer to use chemical fertilizers. Because the effect of the use of biofertilizers slow even though the price of expensive chemical fertilizers. While the use of biofertilizers can preserve the environment and produce organic products are safe. Exploiting the potential of soil microbes as biofertilizer with simple technologies that easily made and applied by farmers. But this is also not an easy thing, to change the mindset of farmers in using biofertilizers BIOVAM. Farmers prefer chemical fertilizers because it feels better than the biofertilizer without any further consideration of the impact on the environment.Utilization of environmentally friendly biofertilizer is expected to compete with chemical fertilizers. The result is more secure or organic products. The purpose of the activity biovillage is to compare the use of biofertilizers BIOVAM with control (without biofertilizer), reducing the use of chemical fertilizer and produces healthy food. Jackfruit plant chosen was one of the models of tropical forest plants and plant jackfruit already widely known by the public. Jackfruit plants also have the potential in which the fruit and seeds of the plant are edible jackfruit, wood of the plant can be used, and so on. The results of the use of biofertilizers on crops jackfruit showed biofertilizer can be more to support jackfruit plant growth. Through the program biovillage, jackfruit plant seedlings will be given the first use of biofertilizers BIOVAM started from seed. Utilization of biofertilizers for forest plants can help in reforestation and forest development program undertaken by the municipality in dealing with geothermal. Expected from biovillage program with simple technologies that utilize the potential of microbes can be useful for creating environmentally friendly
