Abstract: Waste is a material that is wasted from all the results of human activities or natural processes that are not utilized. Based on
the form, the waste is classified into three parts one of which is solid waste which is often called the waste. Dump trash that increasingly
pollute the environment requires a technique to manage waste into something useful, especially organic market waste. Alternative
market waste processing, especially organic vegetables and fruit skin waste that is done is making an eco-friendly bio pesticide called
eco garbage enzyme. Eco garbage enzyme will be applied as a bio pesticide to be used on hydroponic vegetable crop of lettuce. This
study aims to process organic waste market as eco garbage enzyme and to know its influence on the growth of lettuce plant. The method
used in this research is descriptive quantitative. This research produces eco garbage enzyme which is the result of semi aerobic
fermentation that can be applied as an environmentally friendly bio pesticide. Eco garbage enzyme gives a real influence on root
length, stem circumference, and dry weight of lettuce plant with the best concentrations of eco garbage enzyme is 10 cc / L.

designed using single factor experiment that is because this The process of making eco garbage enzyme is conducted for
research is only influenced by one factor that is 2 months starting from September until November with the
concentration. The study was also designed from the first step is to process and sort the market waste, especially
preparation stage of eco garbage enzyme materials, the organic waste of vegetable and fruit waste. The preparation
manufacture of eco garbage enzyme, testing on growing of eco garbage enzyme is done by weighing the material from
vegetables lettuce. The design of the research is the method fruit and vegetable waste, brown sugar, and water with the
performed by Rosukan (1986) shown in the following ratio of vegetable and fruit waste 3, brown sugar 1, and water
diagram. 10 which is then stored in 5 L plastic bottle.

Eco garbage enzyme is fermented semi-aerobic for 2 months

and produces a light brown solution. The eco garbage
enzyme solution was then tested to determine the macro and
micro nutrient content. Based on the results of the highest
macro element content test of potassium macro element (K)
of 203 mg / L and phosphorus (P) of 21.79 mg / L. Potassium
content (K) will be shown in the growth of many leaves and
not perforated. In addition to the potassium macro element,
in the eco garbage enzyme solution of phosphor (P) which
can be shown in a good root system on the growth of lettuce
plants. A macro nitrogen element (N) with a small content in
the solution of the eco garbage enzyme will affect the high
growth of the lettuce plant.
