The purpose of the research is to producing bokashi fertilizer from baglog waste treatment with variations of effective microorganism (EM-4) activator, local microorganism (MOL) papaya, MOL banana hump, and MOL cow dung. The research was conducted in February - March 2019 in the central hydroponics greenhouse of Agro Tourism Cilangkap, East Jakarta. Baglog waste as bokashi fertilizer was made with 6 treatment combinations (P0 – P5). The measured bokashi parameters included nutrient content of Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). These parameters were then compared with compost quality standards according to SNI 19-7030-2004. The results showed that bokashi fertilizer was able to be made within 21 days, in which the nutrient content parameters were in accordance with SNI 19-7030-2004. Overall, the resulting bokashi fertilizer contains much higher K elements than N and P. The findings confirmed that bokashi fertilizer with MOL activator has superior quality (in C, N, P, and K content) compared to that of with EM-4 activator.
