Summary: | The objectives of this research were to study effect of difference in media
compotition for silk worm culture toward production of silk worm biomass that
used mud, chicken manure and solid waste of tofu, and to know media
compotition that produce the highest silk worm biomass. The research was using
Completely Randomized Design with four treatments and three replications in
semi recirculating system. Treatment 1 (P1) was using 40% mud and 60% chicken
manure. Treatment 2 (P2) was using 40% mud, 45% chicken manure and 15%
solid waste of tofu. Treatment 3 (P3) was using 40% mud, 30% chicken manure
and 30% solid waste of tofu. Treatment 4 (P4) was using 40% mud, 15% chicken
manure and 45% solid waste of tofu. Production and biomass growth were
analyzed using Analysis of Variance and Duncan�s Multiple Range Test. The
results showed that difference in media compotition for silk worm culture that
used mud, chicken manure and solid waste of tofu significantly (P<0.05)
influence silk worm biomass production. The highest silk worm biomass was
1933,71±156,95 g/m
2
(12,64 times increased) on P3 that containing a mixture of
40% mud, 30% chicken manure and 30% solid waste of tofu. Effect of treatments
on silk worm biomass production shown in quadratic equation y = -1,0545x

+
71,797x + 459,2 for chicken manure and y = -1,0545x
2
+ 54,743x + 970,82 for
solid waste of tofu.
