<![CDATA[Maize plants are one of Indonesia's most important food crops, which require nutrients containing sufficient phosphorus (P) for growth. However, soil P availability could be higher due to physical, chemical and biological factors. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of organic fertilizers and phosphate solubilizing agents (MPF) on maize plant quality. This study used a randomized group design with four treatments: no organic fertilizer and MPF (comparison), organic fertilizer only, MPF only and organic fertilizer and MPF. The results showed that treatment with organic fertilizers and MPF positively affected maize plant quality, such as plant height, stalk diameter, number of leaves, leaf area, shoot wet and dry weight, root wet and dry weight, and P. content in plants. This indicates that applying organic fertilizers and MPF can increase soil P availability and P uptake by maize plants. Thus, using organic fertilizers and MPF can be an environmentally friendly and economical alternative to improve the quality of corn plants.]]>

<![CDATA[Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates from the surface of plants, especially leaves. Transpiration is essential in transporting water and nutrients from the roots to the top of the plant and cooling the plant. However, evaporation also causes water loss, limiting plant growth and production in dry areas. Therefore, water efficiency, or the relationship between crops and water consumption, becomes one of the most critical indicators to increase the productivity of crops in dry areas. This article discusses the factors that affect evapotranspiration and water efficiency of food crops, as well as strategies to reduce evapotranspiration and improve water efficiency in arid regions. Some strategies discussed include selecting drought-tolerant varieties, spacing and planting methods, weed control and mulching, and inadequate irrigation. This document should provide information and inspiration to scientists, farmers and decision-makers facing the growing challenge of drought caused by climate change. ]]>

<![CDATA[Food security is an increasingly important global issue amidst population growth and climate change. This article examines the potential for collaboration between the agricultural and aquaculture sectors in realizing sustainable food security. This "Green Collaboration" approach aims to optimize resource use, increase productivity, and minimize environmental impact. Research methods include comprehensive literature studies and case study analyses from various countries that have implemented integrated agriculture-fisheries systems. The research results show that integration of these two sectors can increase the efficiency of land and water use, improve the nutrient cycle, and increase farmer income. Aquaponic systems, for example, combine fish farming with hydroponics, producing animal protein and vegetables simultaneously with more efficient use of water. Apart from that, the use of agricultural waste as fish feed and the use of fishery waste as organic fertilizer creates a more sustainable production cycle. Challenges in implementing this collaboration include the need for appropriate technology, training for farmers and cultivators, and supporting policies. In conclusion, the "Green Collaboration" between agriculture and aquaculture has significant potential to improve food security, production efficiency, and environmental sustainability.]]>

<![CDATA[Global climate change has become a serious threat to the aquaculture sector, including tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) cultivation in tropical waters. This research aims to analyze the impact of climate change on the sustainability of tiger prawn cultivation in Indonesia. The method used is a literature study and secondary data analysis from various trusted sources. The research results show that climate change has a significant impact on aquatic environmental parameters, such as increasing water temperature, changes in salinity, and ocean acidification. This condition affects the physiology, growth, and survival rate of black tiger prawns. Increasing water temperature causes stress in shrimp, reduces growth rate, and increases disease susceptibility. Changes in salinity due to erratic rainfall and rising sea levels disrupt the shrimp's osmotic balance. Ocean acidification hurts the calcification process of shrimp shells. In addition, climate change also increases the risk of natural disasters such as floods and storms, which can damage farm infrastructure. To maintain the sustainability of tiger prawn cultivation, an adaptation strategy is needed which includes improving cultivation technology, developing shrimp strains that are resistant to environmental changes, and implementing environmentally friendly cultivation practices. Further research is needed to develop more accurate climate change impact prediction models and effective mitigation strategies for the tiger prawn cultivation industry in tropical waters.]]>
