The potential of treated human manure and urine as fertilizer on maize (zea mays L.)

Utilization of feces and urine as soil fertilizer are an effective solution for lands with limited resources and difficultly to obtain agricultural inputs. The aims of the study is to determine the potential of feces and urine as a source of nutrients in Maize crops. This research has been conducted on May to September 2017 at field as the Academicals Business Unit Agro Techno Park, Brawijaya University, Jatikerto, Kromengan-Malang. This research used experimental of factorial with randomized block design with 7 treatments and 3 replication. The utilization of fertilizers derived from feces and urine potential to use for increasing corn production due to provide the same results with of common organic fertilizers such as goat manure and chemical fertilizer. In Maize yields it is seen that the use of both solid and liquid fertilizers derived from human waste (feces and urine) and inorganic fertilizers showed no different results. This means that when compared to the control of Treatment 1, treatment 2 to 7 gives the same yield on Maize crops, so that the plant requires fertilizer as a nutritional requirement.
