Cow urine is a bio-fertilizer, however without fermentation it is just waste and could not be effectively utilized by plants. Therefore, this study sought to convert cow urine (waste) to bio-urine and use as a fertilizer. Our strategy is to use local microorganisms (MOL) from Gamal leaves as a starter for fermentation and determine the biodiversity of microorganisms, the nutrients of bio-urine particularly plant hormones, as well as the influence of bio-urine on green mustard (Brassica juncea L.). In our investigation, the microorganisms found in bio-urine are fungi, Aspergillus sp., Rhizopus sp., Phoma sp., Candida sp., Penicillium sp. and Fusarium sp., as well as bacteria, Pseudomonas sp., Burkholderia sp., and Serratia sp. In bio-urine, plant hormones were detected, 1197.6 mg/L. The treatment by bio-urine had significant effect on plant growth with the concentration with 200ml/L water resulting in number of leaves, 11.27, plant height 27.28cm, average weight of fresh plant, 75.37g and average weight of oven dry plants 7.56g. These phenomena clearly indicate bio-urine has the potential as a fertilizer consistent with the goal to utilize waste for organic farming.
