Summary: | Bacterial compatibility testing is very important to determine which bacteria will be consorted as bio activators when making liquid organic fertilizer. Bacteria that are inoculated into the manufacture of liquid organic fertilizers must have a cooperative and synergistic relationship with fellow bacteria to be efficient in their role as bio activators. To obtain this potential, a compatibility test against bacterial isolates needs to be carried out so that liquid organic fertilizers will be made efficient and effective. The research purposes are to obtain the compatible properties of functional bacterial isolates and their impact on liquid organic fertilizer’s nutritional content. The study was carried out at the Plant Protection Laboratory and Greenhouse of the Payakumbuh State Agricultural Polytechnic, West Sumatra from July to September 2022. The research method began with the rejuvenation of the dry bacterial isolates of
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus
, and
Bacillus thuringiensis
. Followed by the compatibility test using the double culturing method, a total of 20 treatments with three replications. The bacterial consortium is inoculated into the manufacture of fertilizer. The results of the compatibility test against
P. aeruginosa
and genera of Bacillus showed all treatments were compatible which was indicated by the absence of a halo inhibition zone with a compatibility index value between 0.67-1 and could be combined in a consortium as a bio activator. The best P
