Preventing Stunting in Indonesia, Chemistry Researchers FMIPA UNEJ Develop Hydrolyzed Fish Organic Fertilizer

Participating in government programs in an effort to prevent stunting, the research team from the Department of Chemistry at FMIPA UNEJ developed organic fish hydrolyzate fertilizer. Using this fertilizer on rice plants can produce rice that has a high content of important minerals, namely zinc and iron. Rice with a high zinc content is needed to reduce stunting, and high iron content helps reduce anemia and maintain the body’s immune system. This was revealed during an educational event for the farming community in Karangrejo Village, Jember (21/4) that was organized by the FMIPA UNEJ Chemistry Student Association.

At yesterday’s educational meeting, apart from the farmers who were members of the Karangrejo farmer group, there was also PPL Mrs. Yatmi, who had also paid attention to the independent study activities of Chemistry Department students in Kranjingan Village, Jember. This is in line with Drs. Achmad Sjaifullah, M.Sc., Ph.D., who said that we never teach farmers to grow crops but accompany farmers to use fish hydrolyzate fertilizer. Mr. Sjai, nicknamed Drs. Achmad Sjaifullah, M.Sc., Ph.D., an activist for fish hydrolyzate organic fertilizer, also known as Tirta Sari Mina organic fertilizer, said research had been carried out since 2009.

Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Jember, My Choice!!!

The new academic year will soon arrive, and there are 3 entrance routes to University of Jember: Seleksi Nasional Berbasis Prestasi (SNBP), Seleksi Nasional Berbasis Tes (SNBT), and Seleksi Mandiri Mahasiswa Baru (SEMMABA UNEJ). Next, the question arises: Where will you choose to study? What study program will you choose? What faculty will you choose? Of course, there are many considerations to make sure prospective students make the right choice. It could be that the choice falls on the study program at FMIPA-UNEJ. However, if you are still a little unsure about choosing, we will reintroduce FMIPA UNEJ. The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Jember University has four undergraduate study programs, namely mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology.

This is where the source of all knowledge is, if there is a term not the first choice?? Maybe it needs to be explained, that everyday life is discussed at FMIPA UNEJ, one of which is the field of Biology. Still have any doubts? Mathematics? All calculations, both basic and complex, start from here. What about Physics and Chemistry? When you hear it, you definitely imagine a collection of formulas or theories, but if you put it into practice directly, that’s where the fun and challenges will emerge. It’s time to note and remember that the undergraduate study program at FMIPA University of Jember has become a college target. Continue reading
