ABSTRACT
Target research to determine the effect of tobacco cigarette industry waste vermicompost on the growth and production of Cucumis melo L Red Aroma varieties. Randomized block design (RBD) research methods repeated three times with 4 treatments: S1 = vermicompost dose of 1000 kg / ha; S2 = vermicompost dose of 2000 kg / ha; S3 = vermicompost dose of 3000 kg / ha; S4 = vermicompost dose of 4000 Kg / ha, plus S0 = control without treatment vermicompost; observation variable length of plants, number of leaves, leaf area, fruit weight per fruit, fruit volume and fruit brix; statistically analyzed with ANOVA F test. Tools used, meter, scales and refractometer. Materials used vermicompost tobacco waste, Aroma Red Cucumis melo seed varieties. The results turned out tobacco cigarette factory waste can be used as organic fertilizer. It is shown to affect the growth and yield of Cucumis melo L Red Aroma Varieties, namely: plant length, number of leaves, leaf area, fruit weight, fruit volume and sugar content in fruit.
KEYWORDS: vermicompost, tobacco cigarette industry waste, Cucumis melo L.
I. INTRODUCTION
In the process of production in the industrial sector can produce more than one form of waste, and for the sustainable development of the waste industry should be assessed although resources requires, time, and costs, in accordance with the rules of the environment: adopted an idea [1]. Environmental Assessment provides a rational approach to sustainable development. Development have led to an adverse impact on the environmental in view of the deteriorating environmental Industrial condition in and araund Industrial township It has become necessary to account for the environment while planning for the such areas [1]. Waste if managed properly can provide benefits. Cigarette factories in their production processes impacting waste plant called tobacco cigarette waste, every day throw away more than 20 tons of waste. The alleged waste can be processed into vermicompost. Based on the results of laboratory research cigarette factory warehouse salt [2], sewage plant tobacco cigarettes contain Organic Carbon 50.97%, 1.83% total nitrogen, phosphorus as P2O5 0.41%, and Potassium as K2O 1.89%. Nitrogen Carbon phosphorus and potassium is an essential element for plant growth, Cucumis melo L is supposedly a response to vermicompost from sewage treatment plant tobacco cigarettes.
