Abstract

Caulerpa sp. seaweed. is one of the seaweeds being developed because it has great potential in addition to being consumed by humans, but in the cultivation of Caulerpa sp. Fertilizer is needed as a source of nutrients for growth. The purpose of this study was to determine the length of time and raw materials containing the highest nitrogen and phosphate that can be used as fertilizer as a source of nutrients Caulerpa sp. The design used is a factorial pattern design with a completely randomized basic design. As for what was tested, factor A was the length of fermentation time (14, 16, and 18 days) and the second factor was raw materials (bean sprouts, Gracillaria sp. seaweed and banana weevil). The results showed that different treatments for fermentation time and raw materials had a significant effect (p<0.005) on Nitrogen and Phosphate content. The highest Nitrogen and Phosphate content was obtained at a long fermentation time of 16 days on bean sprouts raw materials of 153.398ppm and 25.585ppm, respectively.
