Sugar is one of the strategic commodities in the Indonesian economy. With an area of around 450 thousand hectares in the 2007-2017 period, the sugar cane-based sugar industry is one of the sources of income for around 900 thousand farmers with the number of 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). © 2020, Dorma Journals.
