Pemanfaatan Hidrolisat Nasi sebagai Pupuk Organik Cair dalam Media Aklimatisasi Ubi Kayu (Manihot esculenta Crantz): Sebuah Tinjauan

Abstract

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important tuber crop which productivity is influenced by nutrient availability and soil fertility. Rice waste, a food waste still commonly found in households, contains carbohydrates, macronutrients (N, P, K), and micronutrients that have the potential to support plant growth. This review article analyzes the current literature on the use of rice waste as organic material in cassava cultivation through tissue culture and application to growing media. The results of the study indicate that fermentation of rice waste produces a liquid organic fertilizer that improves the physical, chemical, and biological quality of the growing media, supports the growth of shoots, roots, and tubers, and can increase productivity and crop quality. Furthermore, the use of rice waste as organic fertilizer also offers a solution to reduce food waste and an environmentally friendly agricultural alternative. However, further research is needed to optimize dosages, processing methods, and long-term application across various cassava varieties and land conditions.
