Description
Summary:Hydroponic farming in Indonesia is starting to develop in line with the increasing market demand for quality vegetables. This phenomenon is a business opportunity for the production of hydroponic vegetables, which are known to have high nutritional content and free of synthetic pesticides. The integration between hydroponic vegetable production and Black Soldier Fly (BSF) has the potential to increase production yield and income of Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSME’s). Thi study aims to compare the effect of the use of hydroponic nutrients from bioconversion of organic waste by BSF larvae on the productivity of hydroponic bok-choy (Brassica rapa L.), and to compare MSME’s income through the design of the Business Model Canvas (BMC). The study was conducted as a true experiment with a Posttest-Only Control design that utilized the liquid residue of BSF larvae bioconversion (leachate) as a hydroponic nutrient mixture. AB Mix 100% nutrition was used as a control for comparison with AB Mix:Leachate (60:40). The results showed that the wet weight of hydroponic bok-choy given a mixed nutrient solution of AB Mix:Leachate (60:40) was not statistically significant. However, the use of BSF can increase the income of MSME actors with the BMC design of the BSF integrated hydroponic farming system by 17.52%. The increase of income is indicated by the decrease of BEP value from 3,242.29 kg to 3,038.99 kg, as well as the increase of R/C ratio from 1.55 to 1.68 in the integrated hydroponic agriculture BMC design for a small scale of 400 m2 with a continuous harvest weekly.
