| dc.description.abstract | Sponge plastic is one of the plastic wastes that difficult to degrade. Recently
research reported that Tenebrio molitor L larvae have a potential capability to
degrade the plastic waste. But still lack of information according to the effect
of feed composition on survival, and growth of T. molitor L larvae. The
purpose of this study was to determine the effect of plastic feed composition
on the rate of degradation of sponge plastic waste, survival, and growth of T.
molitor L larvae. The method used in this study was an experimental
laboratory using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) and using controls
and six treatments with 3 repetition times. The parameters measured in this
study were survival (%), body length growth (cm/week) and body biomass
(gram/week) and degradation rate (gram/week). The data obtained from the
research results will be analyzed using ANOVA which is then tested by
Duncan. The results showed that feed composition had a significant effect
(p=0.001) on the rate of degradation of plastic sponge waste, survival
(p=0.000) and growth (p=0.001) of T. molitor L larvae. degradation, survival,
and growth of T. molitor L. larvae. | en_US |
