Abstract

The increase in organic waste in Tulungagung Regency has become an environmental problem that requires proper and sustainable management solutions. One way to manage it is through bioconversion using Hermetia illucens maggots. The success of bioconversion is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the medium and the moisture level. This study aims to find out the effect of variations in the medium and moisture on maggot growth as well as to analyze the optimal medium for the bioconversion process. This study uses an experimental method with a quantitative approach consisting of three treatments: organic waste medium with husk as a dry condition (P1), organic waste medium with added water as a wet condition (P2), and organic waste medium without any treatment as the control (P3). Each treatment was repeated three times. The parameters observed included maggot weight and medium moisture levels. The results of the study show that Treatment P1 resulted in the highest maggot growth, reaching 40.87 grams, 41.50 grams, and 42.10 grams at a humidity of 60-63.3%. Treatment P3 produced maggot weights of 29.23 grams, 29.80 grams, and 29.80 grams with humidity between 82.3-85.7%. Treatment P2 showed the lowest growth with weights of 28.35 grams, 27.90 grams, and 25.60 grams at 97.9-99.9% humidity. Based on the study results, media mixed with rice husks showed more stable humidity and better aeration, supporting maggot growth. Using rice husks as a media mix is an optimal treatment for supporting the growth of Hermetia illucens maggots compared to other treatments and also supports the organic waste bioconversion process.
