Abstract Sorghum is the fifth most required cereal crop globally. Sorghum bicolor has the advantage of being adaptive to both lowland and dryland, with drought-tolerant and wide adaptability. The low nutrient availability in dryland requires additional effective fertilizers to increase sorghum productivity. The research aimed to assess the application of organic, inorganic, and biofertilizers for sorghum productivity on dryland. Research in Central Java, Indonesia as dryland sorghum areas, from November 2022 to February 2023. The experiment cooperates with the farmers in a split-plot design, the main plot was two varieties and subplots of four fertilizers. The enhanced… More >

Abstract With a growing population, changes in consumerism behavior and trends in consumption in Indo-Pacific Asia, our seafood processing and consumption practices produce a large volume of waste products. There are several advantages in regulating and sustaining shellfish processing industries. The major advantage of waste management is that it leads to better conservation of natural resources in the long run. Shrimp shell waste contains useful biomaterials, which are still untapped due to inadequate waste disposal and solid waste management. Chitin, the major component of shell waste, can be extracted either chemically or biologically. The chemical extraction More > Graphic Abstract
