study conducted by Gama, Oktaviani, and Ririn (2016) demonstrated that using Beka-

Pomi organic fertilizer significantly improved rice production, with yields ranging from
10% to 40%.

Furthermore, research on applying organic fertilizers with nano technology has
yielded significant results in treating rice plantations. By combining these fertilizers with

chemical fertilizers, as per the prescribed treatment requirements in Bojonegoro (PPL
Disperta Bojonegoro, 2018), the productivity of paddy production has increased by

18% to 36%. This increase is equivalent to 1 to 2.5 tonnes per hectare yield.

Applying organic fertilizers aims to enhance agricultural output, as Wells and
Johnson (2020) stated. These fertilizers, derived from organic matter and plant com-

ponents, are classified into various methods. Organic fertilizers address issues re-
lated to plant health, safety, and environmental cleanliness arising from their use. Ad-

ditionally, they serve as a source of ingredients for vegetables. Secondly, this pre-

ventive action is implemented to mitigate any issues that may develop during storage
and post-production handling. Furthermore, the assessment of the risk associated

with utilising organic fertilizer is based on its potential negative impact on climate
change and the environment, stemming from both the organic fertilizer itself and its

vegetable constituents.

Bumb and Baanante (2020) propose using organic fertilizers in conjunction with
other fertilizers as a supplementary measure to maintain agricultural productivity and

land fertility. This approach can effectively address the decline in plant populations and
environmental degradation. Organic fertilizers provide essential plant nutrients, re-

storing soil fertility and thus boosting crop yields and food production. Furthermore,
increased soil fertility for crops results in a greater amount of biomass that can be

utilized to replenish them. This ensures a continuous supply of organic matter for de-

velopment and meets the fertility requirements of vegetables.
Additionally, the waste from these plants serves as organic fertilizers, aiding in

reducing soil erosion. Therefore, properly managing organic fertilizers and comple-
mentary materials can establish a symbiotic relationship between land, plants, and

plant production. The growth of plants can be enhanced by utilizing organic fertilizers

in highly fertile areas with favorable agroecological conditions. This, in turn, leads to
increased food production, alleviating the need to clear valuable forest habitats for ad-

ditional plantations. Consequently, the practice of forest clearing can be ultimately re-
duced.
