Abstrakt
Effective microorganisms' bokashi fermentation is proposed
to upcycle food waste to novel feed supplements, and to (partially) replace
traditional composting of food waste (and secondary residues from
industrial processes) to facilitate both plant production and soil quality as
well as to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose was to assess the
influence of bokashi tea treatment on the growth of tomato transplants.
There were two treatments: one with bokashi tea and second without bokashi
tea (control). Tomato transplants treated with bokashi tea tended to be higher
than those in control; while the results were not significantly different. The
number of leaves of tomato transplants treated with bokashi tea was not
significantly different. The stem diameter of tomato transplants was 13%
greater (P = 0.04) in bokashi tea treated plants than in control. Conclusion:
Bokashi tea improves the growth of tomato transplants by increasing stem
diameter and is allowing for plants to take up more nutrients.
