Abstract
Sugar is one of the strategic commodities in the Indonesian economy. With an area of around 450 thousand hectares in the 2007-
017 period, the sugar cane-based sugar industry is one of the sources of income for around 900 thousand farmers with the number of
2
workers involved reaching around 1.3 million people. Sugar is also one of the basic needs of the community; the dynamics of sugar
prices will have a direct influence on the inflation rate. One effort that can be done to improve sugarcane productivity is to improve
soil fertility through sugarcane cultivation techniques by engineering microorganism technology. The potential of nature and the
wealth of microorganisms in Indonesia are numerous but have not been explored and utilized to the full Engineering the use of
microorganisms has good prospects for restoring land degradation in sugarcane agroecosystem. Microorganism-formulation was
designed to get the most suitable microorganism combination for sugarcane. Various types of Nitrogen-fixing microorganisms such as
Nitrobacter, Nitrosomonas, Nitrosococcus, and Rhizobium will be combined with Phosphate solvent bacteria such as Pseudomonas,
Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Xanthomonas, Acetobacter Thiobacillus, Thrichodema and some decomposer bacteria. Found the most
suitable formulation for the growth of sugarcane seedlings, formulation of the microorganisms Sacharomyces (S), Azospirillum sp (A),
Azotobacter (Z), Rhizobium (R), Pseudomonas (P), Bacillus dan Trichoderma sp (T) which is formulated in a microorganism
technology with the popular name Refresh Microorganism (RIM).

Introduction1
provide nutrients according to plant requirements have been

obtained [4], only still need to be modified specifically for
sugarcane. The soil health index of Indonesia must also be
considered for better plant requirements achieved [5-7]. The
purpose of this study is to formulate a consortium of
microorganisms that can help sugarcane plants to grow better.
Dependence on chemical fertilizers causes chemical
fertilizer subsidies to increase every year. Environmental
burden caused by the use of chemical fertilizers continuously
in high doses increasingly close the pores of the soil, so that
the absorption of rainwater is greatly decreased and resulting
in frequent floods and drought [1]. In addition, the use of
chemical fertilizers continuously causes the soil to become
hard so that the main crop production of sugar cane becomes
smaller and the yield of sugar obtained is low [2]. It is time
for our farming system to return to nature with organic
farming. Microorganism technology will help organic farming
systems to be realized easily, quality and inexpensive so it
must be prepared on an industrial scale [3].
Synergy between microorganism technologies intended
for the development of organic agriculture and sugar cane
farmers as users is something that needs to be socialized and
implemented in the field. For this reason, continuous research
is needed. The potential of microorganisms in Indonesia is
extraordinary in terms of species, quantity and function; this is
due to the fact that in Indonesia, 2 of these mountain ranges in
the world meet, in Indonesia located between 3 continents and
the meeting of the Indian and Pacific oceans.
2 Materials and Methods
This research was conducted from April in the Laboratory
of the Department of Agrotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture,
Brawijaya University Malang. This formulation research was
carried out by mixing various pure cultures of photosynthetic
bacteria Sacharomyces (S), Azospirillum sp (A), Azotobacter
(Z), Rhizobium (R), Pseudomonas (P), Bacillus (B) and
Trichoderma sp (T) with natural ingredients such as banana
weevil and sugar cane shoots that contain a variety of natural
hormones. The formulation trials are used on sugarcane
seedlings, the seeds that grow best will be found with the
fastest growing indicator of shoots.

Results and Discussion
Based on the synergy test between a consortium of
microorganisms
between
photosynthetic
bacteria
This has the opportunity to build a microorganism
industry that has the opportunity to increase crop production
and quality, especially sugar cane. Reliable pioneer
microorganisms that have been selected by the research team
since the 1990s in this study combined into a force that can
help sugarcane plants to produce high yields with high yields.
Pioneering microorganism formulations that are reliable
in improving polluted environments and helping plants
Sacharomyces (S), Azospirillum sp (A), Azotobacter (Z),
Rhizobium (R), Pseudomonas (P), Bacillus (B) and
Trichoderma sp (T) with a comparison, the formula obtained
F1, F2, F3, F4 and F5 that are used can synergize with one
another. From the results of incubation for 24 hours, each
formula contained dominance and which could blend (Table

Bacterial consortium is a collection of bacteria that work
together to form a community, to produce significant
products.
