Dosen UMM Temukan Farm Mapper
Kota Malang, Bhirawa Dosen Fakultas Pertanian dan Peternakan (FPP) Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM), Wahono menemukan cara spektakuler untuk pemetaan lahan dan penyebaran bibit di daerah yang sulit dijangkau manusia. Wahono, menciptakan pesawat tanpa awak (drone) yang diberi nama Farm Mapper. Kandidat Doktor Universitas Gajah Mada (UGM) ini merancang sendiri alat-alat tersebut untuk menyelesaikan disertasinya dengan fokus pada inovasi yang mendukung kebutuhan pupuk untuk tanaman di area yang sangat luas. Awalnya ia hanya ingin membeli pesawat sejenis untuk mendukung disertasinya. Namun karena harganya sangat tinggi, lebih dari Rp 700 juta, muncullah ide untuk menciptakan drone sendiri. “Untuk membuat pesawat ini, saya harus menguji coba ulang dengan memodifikasi dari model pesawat tanpa awak sejenis yang sudah ada sebelumnya,” ungkapnya. Dengan background keahlian di bidang teknologi informasi, drone yang dikembangkan Wahono diyakini memiliki teknologi high resolution real time. Pesawat ini mampu memetakan (mapping) wilayah hingga luas 800 sampai 900 meter sekali terbang dalam waktu dua jam. “Hal ini tentu membuat proses pemetaan lahan jadi jauh lebih efektif dan efisien. Kalau harus mengukur satu persatu ke lapangan membutuhkan waktu lama dan mengeluarkan biaya yang sangat tinggi,” kata dia. Mantan kepala Unit Pelaksana Teknis (UPT) Komputer UMM ini, menyatakan Farm Mapper menggunakan sensor canggih yang mampu memetakan area luas tanpa menggunakan remote control. “Kita tinggal program pesawat ini mau terbang ke area mana yang akan kita mapping, sambil melihat proses pemetaan di front station pada layar komputer, sampai dia kembali lagi,” terangnya. Hasil pemetaan yang diperoleh tadi langsung terunggah di komputer yang telah dipasang aplikasi khusus. Data tersebut bisa direkonstruksi dalam model 2D dan 3D. Selain untuk bidang pertanian, Wahono menuturkan, Farm Mapper juga bisa digunakan untuk pemetaan terumbu karang dibawah permukaan laut pada pulau-pulau kecil. Diakui dia, banyak kendala yang ia hadapi saat proses uji coba, mulai dari hal teknis sampai hilang saat pesawat jatuh. “Seperti saat hujan deras, pesawat yang kita terbangkan terjebak dan hanya bisa berdiam di udara hingga baterainya hampir habis. Saat hujan reda, pesawat memang bisa kembali terbang normal,” tuturnya. Namun karena baterai hampir habis pesawat tidak sampai kembali ke orbit awal dan akhirnya pesawat yang ia buat dengan biaya sekitar 20 juta itu pun jatuh. “Waktu itu tempat jatuhnya berjarak sekitar 2 km, saat saya mau ambil ternyata sudah hilang,” tuturnya. Kedepan, Wahono berencana mempercanggih drone ciptaannya itu. Ia akan menambahkan sensor collision avoidence dan route alternative yang mampu menghindari tabrakan pesawat dari objek tak terduga didepannya hingga pesawat mampu mengubah arah secara otomatis.

Riza Rahman Hakim Reveals The Potency of Castor Oil Seed as Fish Feed
Nowadays, the seed of castor oil (jarak) is commonly used as the ingredients for fuel. However, it turns out that the waste can be recycled to become the ingredients for fish feed of protein economically. Reza Rahman Hakim S.Pi, M.Sc., the Animal Husbandry Dept. lecturer has proven through his research. Due of his discovery, the Bojonegoroan lecturer successfully holds the Master of Science title in the Department of Aquaculture, Kasetsart University, Thailand. The idea appeared when seeing the reality of Indonesia that lacking the energy source from fish feed. According to Reza, bungkil/oil cake (from soybean) and fish flour as the protein source currently are getting hard to find and the existence compete with the human needs. Based on this, he continued, the existence of fish feed ingredients of protein source that can replace the function of the expensive bungkil is necessary. “After straining the oil, the waste of those seed is dumped and not useful. It turns out that this waste is able to replace 75 % of soybean flour, of course it’s very efficiency and economic,” said by the achiever of abroad scholarship from Dikti. Moreover, he explained that in order to be a feed, the oilcake of jarak seed must be detoxified prior in order to remove its contents of toxin and anti-nutrients substances. On this process, he built cooperation with Chemistry Department of Kasetsart University. The result showed that the content of crude protein from the jarak seed oilcake is almost equal with the soybean oilcake. “It turned out that the contents of amino acid in the jarak seed oilcake is also better than soybean oilcake”, added by the lecturer who got the best presenter for young lectures’ research by Kopertis VII. According to him, jarak seed oilcake is still very rare to be applied in Indonesia. It makes him sure about its big potential to be developed. In the future, he plans to continue in developing his research until it can be used widely in fishery field. “If UMM will expand the unit production of jarak seed biodiesel, of course it becomes the strategic way to continue its expanding so that it can be truly integrated and zero waste,” he said. Through his study in the White Elephant country, he also explained that its advancement in managing fishery farming sector must be exemplary for Indonesia. All fishermen of small until industrial scales already apply good fish farming procedure or Good Aquaculture Practice. Moreover, the good relationship between university and stakeholder can be seen clearly. “The university has become the stakeholder’s reference in providing quality fish,” he said. (agung/t_iqa)
