Closed-house broiler chicken farming enhances productivity and animal welfare by maintaining optimal environmental conditions. However, reliance on grid electricity for air control systems increases operational costs and environmental impact. This study investigates the implementation of a solar-powered air control system to regulate temperature, humidity, and ventilation in closed-house broiler farming. The system integrates photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, energy storage, and a smart control mechanism. The system's performance is evaluated based on energy consumption, solar energy generation, and environmental parameters. Results show the system effectively maintains optimal broiler growth conditions while reducing energy dependence. Energy savings of up to 10% are achieved, leading to lower operational costs and improved sustainability.The findings demonstrate the feasibility of solar-powered solutions in broiler farming, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing farm resilience. Future work will explore IoT integration for real-time monitoring and further energy optimization.

Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora L.) is the type of coffee most widely developed by farmers in Indonesia. The BP308 is a clone discovered by the coffee and cocoa research center which is included in the Robusta coffee clone which has a large and sturdy stature. One of the coffee plant maintenance activities that needs to be carried out is pruning so that coffee plant productivity can be optimal by removing old branches that are less productive and replacing them with young branches that are more productive. Pruning is a clipping, especially for plants that have difficulty growing reproductive branches. Clipping is carried out at the beginning of the rainy season so as not to stimulate the formation of flowers on the circumcised branches. The method used T-test calculations from the results of rejuvenation of single stems with treatment of one node and two nodes resulting from clipping on shoot growth and the data is then analyzed using a quantitative descriptive analysis method. The results show that there is no influence on shoot length parameters. However, it has a significant increase in the number of leaves from 1,47 to 2,33, and it has a significant increase in shoot diameter from 1,63 mm to 2,38 mm. This is the first study comparing single vs. double node clipping on BP308 clone under specific microclimate conditions.

Tomato farmers in Indonesia face challenges such as unpredictable weather conditions that can affect crop yields. Climatic stress, such as drought and heat, can have significant effects on plant growth. Plant Biostimulant have been shown to alleviate climatic stress in plants by modifying physiological processes and enhancing stress tolerance, ultimately improving crop growth and productivity. Recently, weed extract can serve as a biostimulant to improve growth and productivity of crops. This research aimed to determine the best concentration of weed extract-based biostimulant (WEBB) to increase tomato growth and production in dry season. The research was conducted on June to September 2024 in Tutul Village, Balung District, Jember Regency. The research used Randomized Block Design consisted of five levels of WEBB concentrations, i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 ppm. The concentration of WEBB at 1 ppm significantly increased early growth of stem and the number of leaves at 2 WAP by 16.39% and 39.02% respectively. The application of WEBB at 1–2 ppm also showed a significant increase in the number of fruits by 24.49% compared to control. This indicated that 1 ppm WEBB were effective in stimulating the early growth and fruit formation on tomato plant.

Catfish (Clarias sp.) is a type of freshwater fish that people often consume because of its high nutritional value, deliciousness, and affordability. However, catfish products are often damaged due to high water content. Production of catfish flour is an alternative to make catfish products more durable and easier to diversify. The objective of this study is to determine the proximate and nutritional content of catfish flour produced using different drying times (duration) and temperatures. This study used an experimental laboratory method with two treatment factors, namely drying temperature consisting of 2 levels (60°C and 150°C) and drying time (duration) consisting of 2 levels (36 hours and 3 hours). The result showed the proximate and nutrition content of catfish flour with a drying temperature of 60°C and duration of 36 hours was fat 17.3402%, protein 83.9166%, water 9.8682%, ash 4.7125%, Fe 0.0157%, Ca 0.0602%, Zn 0.0029%. While the proximate and nutrition content of catfish flour with a drying temperature of 150°C and duration of 3 hours was fat 22.0204%, protein 85.9741%, water 6.1044%, ash 4.2682%, Fe 0.0022%, Ca 0.1073%, Zn 0.0032%. This finding reveals that drying temperature and time affected catfish flour's proximate and nutrition content.

This study aims to develop a transporter robot as a learning tool for elementary and secondary school students to introduce them to robotics. The robot features a differential drive system and a lifting arm akin to a forklift system. The robot is controlled using an ESP32 microcontroller and connected to an Android application through a Firebase cloud database. Utilizing an IoT platform, the training can be conducted online, allowing students to control the robot remotely while it remains at the training location. The transporter robot is designed to provide an interactive and hands-on learning experience in robotics, enabling students to grasp fundamental concepts in robotics, programming, and control systems. The differential drive system offers excellent maneuverability, while the lifting arm allows the robot to perform tasks such as lifting and moving objects, adding functional aspects to the learning process. Test results indicate that the robot performs well under online control, with fast and accurate responses to commands from the Android application. The use of Firebase ensures stable and real-time communication between the robot and the application. This implementation not only enhances the accessibility of robotics training but also enables the development of students' STEM skills in a more flexible and affordable manner. The study concludes that an ESP32-based transporter robot with online control via an Android application and Firebase cloud database can be an effective and innovative learning tool. This tool aims to enhance students’ STEM skills -especially in programming, control systems, and mechanical design- through interactive, real-world applications.

The drying stage critically determines the quality of Modified Cassava Flour (MOCAF), directly affecting its functional properties. Insufficient moisture removal leads to detrimental effects including structural degradation and microbial proliferation, while over-drying promotes oxidation. Existing drying methods lack precision and reproducibility, underscoring the need for a MOCAF-specific dryer system. The central challenge is to develop a drying method that is both rapid and efficient while simultaneously preserving product quality. This study aimed to design an optimized drying model for micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), leveraging a TRIZ-driven innovation process to enhance MOCAF quality and process efficiency. Applying TRIZ facilitated the systematic identification and resolution of conflicting design parameters (e.g., rapid drying vs. product integrity). A hybrid technology model was then developed—combining infrared heating, forced-air circulation, and LPG combustion. Performance was evaluated in a pilot unit capable of drying 50 kg of wet MOCAF per six-hour batch, under controlled conditions: 76 °C drying temperature, 2.1 m³/min airflow, and 413 g/h LPG consumption. The optimized dryer achieved a water removal rate of 315 g H₂O/hour. Comparative benchmarking against conventional sun and cabinet dryers showed the hybrid system significantly reduced drying time while maintaining superior structural and functional properties. The TRIZ-based, hybrid MOCAF dryer offers a scalable, cost-effective solution tailored to MSMEs. By closing the innovation loop—linking TRIZ principles directly to enhanced performance metrics—this study delivers practical, field-ready technology. Key contributions include the first documented integration of infrared, forced-air, and LPG heating in MOCAF drying, optimized process parameters, and clear industrial applicability.
