Abstract

The study aims to analyze the differences in the C/N ratio of leaf organic waste compost due to variations in aeration rate and composting time using the aerated static pile method. One pile of compost weighs 40kg with a ratio of 2:1:1 (fresh leaves: cow manure: sawdust). The height of the compost used is 55 cm with a width of 100 cm. Variation of aeration rate used is 0.5, 0.7L/min.Kg with open windrow control. C/N ratio analysis is done weekly. The results showed that the best aeration rate variation was 0.7L/min.Kg because it produced the lowest C/N ratio, namely 14.7. Statistical test results stated that there was no difference in the C/N ratio of leaf organic waste compost due to variations in aeration rate and composting time.
