EXHIBIT III OF REGULATION OF THE MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE


DATE : May 29, 2013

MANUFACTURE OF ORGANIC FERTILIZER FOR THE ORGANIC

AGRICULTURE SYSTEM

1. Materials for Organic Fertilizer Manufacturing

a. Materials used in the manufacturing of organic fertilizer may be in

the form of organic garbage from the fields, home garbage, leaves,

agricultural waste and cattle manure, fishery waste, livestock

waste, food processing waste, waste from forest product and paper

industry as well as waste other industries which can be recycled

and other materials as included in Table 1 and Table 2;

b. A number of organic material sources can be given directly into the

soil without being composted first such as green materials of

legumes (azolla, sebandia, mukuna) and waste from mushroom

media. Some materials must be fermented first such as food

industry waste and fish/cattle processing waste. Materials other

than those mentioned above must be composted first;

c. The basic materials of organic fertilizer serve double function to

improve the soil and chemical characteristics of the soil and as

nutrient sources for plants, such as Ca, Mg, P. Additional materials

in the form of natural materials or useful microbe such as

54

rhizobium, P solvent, mychoriza and others serve the function to

improve the quality of organic fertilizer;

d. Prohibited materials for land fertilizer shall be as included in Table

3.

2. Mechanism for Organic Fertilizer Manufacturing

a. Compost

1) Decomposition Process

Decomposition is biological process of decay by microbial

decomposer or cellulolitic decomposer or lignins which may

take place through aerobic or anaerobic process. The

process of decomposition of organic materials is divided into

several stages. The initial stage or intensive decomposition

produces relatively high temperature (60-70 °C) wit hin a

relatively short time, organic materials which are easy to

decompose will be decayed and the complex bond of clay-

topsoil. The resulting product is cured compost.

2) Equipment

a) Composting place/tub in the form of wooden or

bamboo slats serving as composting divider. A

permanent composting tub made of bricks will be

better;

b) Rectangular fence-shaped wooden/bamboo pieces

with the length x width x height = 1 m x 1 m x 1.25 m

55

or bigger as adjusted to the needs and availability of

basic materials. The height and width of the compost

tub shall not be less than 1 m;

c) Sprinklers (bucket/hype);

d) Dark-colored plastic sheet to cover the compost tub to

protect it from rain;

e) Stick thermometer.

3) Composting Method

a) Piling of compost materials

(1) Materials to be composted are gathered.

Materials which are easy to decay are

separated from materials which hard to decay

such as coconut husk or coconut shell,

stick/wooden/bamboo pieces, etc.;

(2) Basic materials which are still big and long are

cut and chopped to accelerate the composting

process. Materials are piled in the compost tub

layer by layer with a height of 20-25 cm each;

(3) If inoculants decomposer us used, then the

inoculants shall be sprinkled or scattered at

each border of pile layers according to the use

instructions (4-5 times watering);

(4) Piling of basic materials in layers shall be

56

conducted until the compost reaches a height

of 1-2 m. if the basic materials used are dry, it

is necessary to water them to maintain the

moisture ((50-60%).

b) The pile of compost basic materials is covered with a

plastic sheet to maintain the moisture during the

composting process;

c) Maintenance of the pile

(1) During the composting process, the

temperature of the compost pile is observed

regularly every 3-4 days by:

(a) opening the plastic cover if necessary

(in the temperature observation

location/thermometer);

(b) making holes with a depth of 20-25cm

using a wooden stick around the pile

and then the thermometer is inserted in

the hole and kept there for 4-6 minutes;

(c) the average compost temperatures at

the five observation points is calculated;

(d) If the temperature is above 60 °C, it

means that the composting process is

quick. Such condition is caused, among

57

other things, by: (1) the compost pile is

too dense, with insufficient aeration, (2)

moisture less than 50% (too dry) or too

wet (above 65%) so as to produce bad

odor or (3) compost has been mature.

(2) Reversal of pile

(a) Compost pile reversal is needed to

maintain aeration and moisture as well

as to level composting temperature;

(b) Reversal procedure: (1) open the

covering plastic sheet and opening one

side of the compost tub (2) remove

compost pile and observe the moisture;

if too dry, add some water until the

moisture reaches 50-60%. The compost

pile which is too wet must be dried first

(3) shake the compost materials and

then pile them again as before and

cover them with a plastic sheet.

(c) Harvesting of organic/compost fertilizer

(1) If for three consecutive days the

temperature in the compost pile

decreases up to 25-30°C, the

58

moisture of 50-60% and the pile

volume decreases up to 40-60%,

then the compost is ready to

harvest;

(2) Open the plastic cover and

remove the compost pile and dry

it until the water content reaches

15-20% by way of air drying of

the compost in a place protected

from the sun;

(3) Mature compost or organic

fertilizer has the following

characteristics: odorless or

smells like soil, crumbs, blackish

brown. The compost may be put

into sacks or in a place protected

from the sun and rain;

(4) Enrichment of organic fertilizer

(a) The mature compost may

be enriched with the

addition of natural

materials such as

limestone, dolomite,

59

zeolite,

phosphate/potassium and

useful soil microbes

(rhizobium, P solvent,

growth substance

producer, mycorrhiza, anti-

pathogenic substance,

etc.);

(b) Prepare the organic

fertilizer or mature

compost in a certain

weigh, such as 50 kg;

(c) Mix a number of

compact/powder enriching

agents using the formula

of organic fertilizer

enriching agent = 1:5-10.

Scatter such formula on

the organic fertilizer

overlay and then shake it

carefully using a shovel

until it is even;

(d) If the enriching agent is in

60

the form of microbes in

liquid/solution, then it shall

be shaken more carefully

for all parts of the organic

fertilizer;

(e) Store the enriched organic

fertilizer in sacks and

incubate it for several days

to evenly mix the

materials.

b. Vermicompost

1. Vermicompost Process

Vermicompost is also called worm compost, vermices or

worm manure fertilizer, which is the final product of organic

material decomposition by certain worm species.

Vermicompost is rich with nutrients, can be used as natural

fertilizer or soil conditioner. The process of making

vermicompost is also called vermicomposting.

2. Vermicompost Equipment

a. Small Scale

1) Various boxes (containers) made of wood or

plastic and boxes or containers from styrofoam

or metal are not recommended because

61

Styrofoam can release toxic materials affecting

the worms’ environment, while metal absorbs

heat, is easy to rust and releases heavy metal

into the vermicompost;

2) The shapes of the boxes for small-scale

vermicompost consist of three types, namely:

a) Non-partitioned box/non-partitioned

space for making vermicompost.

The bed is placed on the base on which

the worms and organic materials are

kept. The bed of the next layer is placed

above the organic materials, and then

the worms will compost the organic

materials and the bed. This box type is

often used because of its small size and

because it is easy to make. However,

during compost harvesting, it is difficult

to take out the worms and compost

materials from the box.

b) Vertically-partitioned box (with vertically-

arranged squares)

The tray at the bottom is first filled with

organic materials. If the organic

62

materials are still full, then they have not

been done so that the compost cannot

be harvested yet. Thinned organic

materials indicate that the compost has

been ready to harvest. The bed of the

same time which resembles the tray

under it is set, on which new organic

materials are filled. This is intended for

some of the worms to migrate to the

upper tray layer. If some of the worms

have migrated, the compost at the lower

level can be harvested and the worms

taken along with during harvesting are

free worms which can be used for

seedlings in other composting boxes.

This box makes harvesting easier;

c) Horizontally-partitioned box (box model

with trays leaning on each other or

adjacent trays)

This is for allowing the ground worms to

migrate and find food in the next boxes.

This box is made to make the compost

harvesting process easier. The

63

horizontally partitioned box is made like

a non-partitioned box but with double

length. The box is horizontally divided

into two parts partitioned by chicken

wire. At the beginning, one side is filled

with organic materials and if the organic

materials have decreased by half, then

the other side is filled with new organic

materials. If enough number of worms

has migrated, the mature compost along

with the remaining worms can be

harvested. This box type is a bit longer

than the non-partitioned box, but it is

small enough to be placed in the house.

b. Large Scale

The making of vermicompost on a large scale

does not use boxes, but an open space. The

method is relatively easy and simple because it

is enough for organic materials as growth

media and the habitat of worms to be spread

on a place or floor with partition walls.

Subsequently, worms are added on it so that

the worms do the composting by eating such

64

organic materials.

3. How to make vermicompost

a) The decomposing ground worms are put into the

available box. A certain amount of kitchen waste

suitable for worms can be added into the box every

day or every week. At the beginning of vermicompost

making, the worms’ food in the form of kitchen

garbage is given in a maximum amount of ½ the

weight of the worms. Adult worms may be given food

according to their weight;

b) Organic materials added contain carbon and are

made like dry leaves on the forest bed which is the

natural habitat of ground worms. Organic materials

are arranged not too densely to allow for sufficient

aeration for the worms to breathe and for aerobic

decomposition process to occur;

c) Various types of organic materials can be used as

vermicompost materials including agricultural waste,

sawdust, cardboards and other decayed materials.

Avoid putting grass pieces or remains of pesticide-

sprayed plants into the composted materials. In small

scale boxes, pesticide-sprayed banana peels can kill

all the existing worms.

65

d) Maintenance of vermicompost

(1) Worms used in the composting process grow

optimally at the temperature of 12-21°C so that

the temperature of composted organic

materials must be maintained within that range.

Pheretima hupiensis worms want a

temperature of around 28°C, the cocoons

hatch at 30°C and young worms die at 32°C;

(2) Moisture and pH. If liquid forms in the box, the

liquid must be channeled. This liquid can be

used as fertilizer for plants. If the pH is too low,

lime or dolomite may be added;

(3) Aeration; In the composting process, worms

need oxygen and therefore, the box must be

made in such a way that it ensures optimum air

circulation in the compost materials. This can

be done by reversing the compost materials

regularly or making holes in the composting

box. Not enough air will lead to the anaerobic

process causing decay and foul odor.

e) Method or organic material addition

There are two methods of adding organic materials

into the box:

66

1) adding organic materials directly from the top

part to be subsequently covered with a layer of

other organic materials and the process is

repeated during every filling,

2) pocket feeding system: the upper layer of

organic materials is arranged and the food is

buried at the bottom. The food (organic

material) location is switched during each

feeding and there are often more than one

feeding boxes. Vermicomposting often

combines the aforementioned two methods.

f) The problem of foul odor is generally caused by too

much forage in the box, especially nitrogen mixed

with hydrogen which forms ammonia. To neutralize

this odor, it is necessary to add some carbon

materials. The function of carbon is to absorb nitrogen

and to form odorless mixture. Papers and dry leaves

are good carbon sources. The addition of too much

carbon will slow down the decomposition process;

g) Certain types of organic materials may attract pests

such as mice and flies if such materials contain

kitchen waste, especially meat. Such condition can be

mitigated by using a box size which can tightly cover

67

the organic materials and by using boxes made of

materials that mice do not like.

THE MAKING OF PESTICIDE

FOR THE ORGANIC AGRICULTURE SYSTEM

1. Materials

a. Main Materials

The main materials which may be used in making pesticide for

organic agriculture are all permitted materials (except for synthetic

chemical pesticide) as set out in Table 1 which, among other

things, may be made of natural mineral materials, materials from

plants or materials from biological agents. Materials used

(particularly plants) should come from organic plants. However, if

they have not been available, materials not from organic plants, but

not from genetically engineered plants.

b. Auxiliary/Additional Materials

1) Such materials are badly needed in the formulation (for

example, auxiliary materials to prevent the formula from

being damaged quickly, pH regulator, stabilizing solution to

make oil soluble in the water, carrier, etc.);

2) Such materials are not bio-degradable and not persistent like

DDT;

74

3) Such materials have adverse impacts on the environment as

well as on non-targeted organisms, including human beings;

4) Such materials have impacts on the produced final products.

If such auxiliary materials are used, their concentration must

the lowest possible concentration (not dominating the

formula).

c. Prohibited materials

Materials prohibited from being used in making pesticide for organic

agriculture shall be as set out in Table 2.

2. Facilities

Facilities for making pesticide for organic agriculture shall not be

contaminated by prohibited materials pursuant to SNI 6729:2010

concerning the Organic Food System.

3. Process

In general, the pesticide making process for organic agriculture is divided

into three ways, namely:

1. Physical/mechanical: including pressing, pulverization, incineration

and other methods not requiring any solvent or any other

chemicals;

2. Chemical: including extraction, maceration (material submersion),

fermentation and other processes usually requiring special

equipment;

75

3. Biological: including multiplication of biological agents or related to

the utilization of other living creatures.

Organic pesticide can be made by a number of methods, according to the

resources and local capacity (local wisdom) by prioritizing materials

existing around the business units as well as the methods mastered by

business units, as described in the following example:

a. Botanical Pesticide

1) Pressing

This method is applied to produce oil from plants. Plant

materials to be pressed are usually those containing liquid

such as oil, for instance neem seeds (Azadirachta indica) or

jatropha (Ricinus communis or Jathropha curcas).

2) Pulverization

This method is conducted to produce powder used to control

pests, particularly warehouse pests to protect grains,

especially those to be used as seeds, for instance pyrethrum

flower (Chrysanthemum Cinerariaefolium) being made as

powder which is very effective in controlling warehouse

pests and able to protects seeds in the place of storage.

3) Incineration

This method is applied to produce ash used for controlling

pests, particularly warehouse pests. Plants used usually

76

have a terrific smell or contains materials which may cause

irritation, such as ash resulting from the burning of citronella

(Cymbopogon nardus) which contains a high level of silica

so that it may hurt insects (particularly warehouse pests)

causing desiccation (continuous excretion of bodily liquid

until death).

4) Extraction

a) Simple extraction with water as solvent (Aquous

extraction). This method is applied to obtain pesticide

preparations which are usually used a moment after

finishing the production process because, if stored,

they will not last long, for example the extraction of

Derris eliptica roots with water to control pests.

This method may be directly applied without

maceration first, as it may be applied by maceration

for some time (1-2 days) before filtered and used.

b) Extraction with the help of solvents (chemicals) such

as alcohol, hexane, acetone, and other solvents. This

is allowed but it must be followed by the solvent

evaporation process (taking solvent from the formula),

so that only the concentrate of pesticide from plants is

left. For example, extraction of soursop seeds

(Annona muricata) or sugar apple seeds (Annona

77

squamosa).

5) Distillation

This method is applied to obtain the essential oil. Distillation

is conducted by including the materials to be distilled

(leaves, roots, tree bark, grains, etc.) into the distilling kettle

to be subsequently steamed or boiled and the steam will be

channeled through the cooling condenser so that the

condensation (from steam to water) process occurs. The oil

and water in the fluid produced by such process will be

subsequently separated. The example of this process is the

distillation of clove leaves (Syzygium aromaticum) or

citronella (Cymbopogon nardus).

b. Pesticide from Biological Agents

Several methods generally performed are:

1) Making simple preparations by stirring worms or larvae

which have been attacked by virus and then mix them with

water to be sprayed to the pests of the same species with

the expectation that such virus will be able to infect the

targeted pests;

2) Multiplying biological agents, such as Beauveria bassiana

mushroom or Mearhizium anisoplae using artificial media

such as corn or rice in which, in its application, the artificial

media which has contained mushroom is diluted with water

78

and then filtered and sprayed to the plants;

3) Formulating a form of fluid or powder, such as Bacillus

thuringiensis which have largely been sold in the market in

the form of formulas or nematodes categorized as insect

pathogen. However, it is necessary to track the conformity of

the materials used in the formula with SNI-6729:2010.

c. Natural Pesticide from Mineral and other Materials

The use of natural materials such as sulfur, the making of bordeaux

mixture and other preparations in the organic agriculture system, is

allowed if such materials are directly taken from the nature without

any initial processing. For example, the use of natural materials

such as sulfur which has been processed as an active material in

making fungicide formula is not allowed.

GUIDELINES ON THE CERTIFICATION OF ORGANIC PRODUCTS

1. Certification Requirements

a. Management requirements

Management requirements are absolutely required to ensure that

the system can run in an effective, efficient and sustainable

manner. Management requirements are universal in nature so that

they are commonly referred to as the “universal program”.

Several management requirements for the purpose of application of

organic product certification based on the normative references

above are as follows:

1) Scope

The scope of activities includes cultivation production

facilities, processing, marketing and other matters including

the types of commodities which must be stated.

2) Organization

Business units must explain the personnel responsible for

their activities, including their duties and functions.

3) Personnel

The personnel shall be responsible for developing, applying,

82

updating, revising and distributing activity documents

according to their fields.

4) Document Maintenance

Business units must maintain all documents which constitute

a part of the system, such as regulations, standards,

instructions and guides.

5) Purchase of Production Facilities

Business units must have a policy and procedures for:

a) Selection and evaluation of suppliers;

b) Selection and purchase of production facilities the use

of which affects the quality of organic products;

c) Acceptance and storage of production facilities;

d) Maintenance of records related to the purchase of

production facilities as well as actions taken to check

the conformity.

6) Complaints

Business units must have policies and procedures to settle

complaints from customers or all related parties.

Records/notes of all complaints and investigations as well as

corrective actions taken by business units must be

maintained.

7) Control of inappropriate products

Business units must have policies and procedures which

83

must be applied in the event there is any aspect of the

work/process or organic product which is not in accordance

with the procedures, standards or technical regulations as

well as customers’ requirements which have been agreed

upon. The policies and procedures must ensure that:

a) the responsibilities and authorities to manage

inappropriate work/process or products are

determined and the actions (including to stop the work

and to hold the products) are stipulated and taken if

any inappropriate work is found;

b) evaluation is conducted on non-conformity of the

work/process or products which occurs;

system. The procedures for corrective actions must be

started with an investigation to determine the roots of the

problem.

9) Preventive actions

Potential causes of non-conformity, both technical and

management, must be identified. If preventive actions are

required, the plan for preventive action must be prepared,

applied and monitored in order to reduce the likeliness of

similar non-conformities and to benefit from conducting

improvement. The procedure of preventive actions includes

the initial stage of actions and application of control to
