Abstract

The increase in greenhouse gases emissions (CH₄) in the atmosphere will contribute to an increase in global warming. The increase in methane gas (CH₄) is related to the solid and liquid waste of beef cattle which is not used optimally by some farmers, so it tends to contribute to the increase in methane gas (CH₄). Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study to reduce methane (CH₄) emissions through processing the solid and liquid waste into trichocompost, bio urine, and bio slurry as a source of organic fertilizer for sweet corn (Zea mays L. Sacharata). This study aimed to examine the pattern of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the form of methane gases (CH₄) through the use of trichocompost, bio urine, and bio slurry on sweet corn (Zea mays L. Sacharata). This study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) design with 4 treatment groups with 4 replications, each test consisted of 2 (two) experimental units. The treatment consists of a combination of inorganic fertilizers (SP36, KCL, Urea) and organic fertilizers (trichocompost, biourine and bio slurry). The treatments were as follows: (1) 100% inorganic fertilizer (Io₁₀₀) (2) 75% inorganic fertilizer + 25% organic fertilizer (Io₇₅O₂₅), (3) 50% inorganic fertilizer + 50% organic fertilizer (Io₅₀O₅₀), (4) Inorganic Fertilizer 25% + 75% organic fertilizer (Io₂₅O₇₅). Observed variables: the pattern of flux methane gas (CH₄) after the first and second fertilization and the emission of methane gas (CH). The results showed that the highest CH₄ flux in the first fertilization resulted from Io₇₅O₂₅ treatment, while in the second fertilization; the highest CH₄ flux production wasproduced in Io₁₀₀ application and the lowest at Io₂₅O₇₅. The lowest CH₄ emissions produced werebytheIo₂₅O₇₅ treatment. The results showed that the usage of inorganic fertilizers (N-P-K) 25%,50%, 75% replaced with organic fertilizers (Trichocompost, Bio urine and Bio slurry) based on beef cattle 75%, 50%, 25% on sweet corn field (Zea mays L. Sacharata) could reduce methane (CH₄) emissions around 75%, 38.68% and 21.68%.
