Abstract: Shrimp shell contains protein, chitin, and calcium carbonate. The quality of shrimp waste based on its
nutrient content is quite good and suitable to be used as material for making liquid fertilizer, but until now this waste
has not been processed and utilized optimally, causing environmental pollution, especially odors and poor
environmental aesthetics. The purpose of this study was to determine that shrimp waste can be used as liquid organic
fertilizer, to know how to process shrimp waste so that it can be used as liquid organic fertilizer, to determine the
effect of using liquid organic fertilizer with bacterial biodecomposer EM4 on the growth of chili plants and to know
the nutrient content in liquid organic fertilizer from shrimp shell. The method used in this study was an experiment
by trying several samples of the experimental design to measure the growth of chili plants for 10 days with
fertilization 2 times a day. There are 5 samples with a ratio of shrimp shell composition and EM4 bacteria, namely
(I) 20%: 10%, (II) 30%:10%, (III) 40%:10%, (IV) 50%:10%, (V) 60%:10%. The best research result of Shrimilizer
in sample V with a ratio of shrimp shell and EM4 bacteria was 60%:10% where this sample gave better chili growth
results, namely the stem length was 5 cm and the leaves were more fertile and fresh. These results were better than
the use of chemical fertilizers which only experienced a stem length of 2.8 cm. The nitrate content contained in the
SHRIMLIZER is 37.6 mg/l while the pH is on a scale of 6.9. Those value met the Indonesian national standard which
sets the nitrate level for liquid fertilizer between 33-38 mg/l. For its own pH between 4-8.

1. INTRODUCTION
According to (Keraf, 2002) the emergence of environmental problems is a moral problem of human behavior.
The environment is not merely a technical issue. Poor waste management will become a serious problem in the
surrounding environment. In addition to causing unpleasant odors, the presence of waste because of its nature tends
to reduce the quality, function and ability of the environment. The presence of waste directly or indirectly causes
inconvenience or negative impact on the health of the surrounding community. This is because the pattern of waste
treatment is always associated with relatively expensive technology and management. However, not all waste has
such a perception. Through the development of existing research, many types of waste can be recycled for reuse.
Data on the potential of shrimp in Indonesia Shrimp is one of the important commodities in Indonesia. The
Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) released data on an increase in national shrimp production by 2.6%
from 338,060 tons in 2009 to 352,600 tons in 2010 and currently from year to year the potential for shrimp continues
to increase, which is estimated to increase by 7.4 on average. % per year (Trenggono, Diamantina, & P., 2019)
(Trubus, 2019). The development of shrimp farming is one of the missions of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and
Fisheries led by Sakti Wahyu Trenggono, who targets this year's shrimp production to increase by 32 percent
compared to last year's to more than 785,000 tons. In the last 5 years, national shrimp production has increased
significantly, namely 13.9% per year by looking at the land potential and development potential as well as the
technology we already have. National shrimp production in 2015 is targeted at 785,900 tons or an increase of about
32% from shrimp production in 2014 of 592,000 tons (KKP, 2019).
Shrimp demand is predicted to remain positive along with the increase in population, income, urbanization, and

demand for healthy food (FAO, 2008)(Munuera-Aleman, Delgado-Ballester, & Yague-Guillen, 2003) For example,
shrimp shell waste is a by-product of the frozen shrimp processing industry. Shrimp shells and crab shells from
seafood waste are potential sources for the manufacture of chitin and chitosan, which are commercially potential
biopolymers in various industrial fields. The benefits of chitin and chitosan in various fields of modern industry are
quite numerous, including in the pharmaceutical, biochemical, biotechnology, biomedical, food, nutrition, paper,
textile, agriculture, cosmetic, membrane and health industries. In addition, chitin and chitosan and their derivatives
have properties as coagulation emulsifiers and emulsion thickeners (Marganof, 2003).
The by-products are heads, shells and tails of shrimp. Shrimp shell contains protein (25% - 40%), chitin (15%
-20%), and calcium carbonate (45% - 50%). The chitin content of shrimp shells is less than that of crab shells. The
chitin content in crab waste reaches (50%-60%). However, the raw material that is easily obtained is shrimp, so the
process of making liquid fertilizer uses waste from shrimp shells (Soetomo, 1990). The quality of shrimp waste based
on its nutrient and nutrient content is quite good and suitable to be used as material for making liquid fertilizer, but
until now this waste has not been processed and utilized optimally, causing environmental pollution, especially odors
and poor environmental aesthetics.
Organic fertilizers have long been known to farmers, long before the Green Revolution took place in Indonesia
in the 1960s. However, since the Green Revolution, farmers have started to use a lot of artificial fertilizers because
they are practical to use and most of the high-yielding varieties do require high macronutrients (NPK) and must be
available quickly. According to (Simamora & Salundik, 2005), Liquid organic fertilizer is fertilizer that comes from
animals or plants that have undergone fermentation. the chemical content in it is a maximum of 5%. Another
researcher, (Hadisuwito, 2007) said that liquid organic fertilizer is a solution of decaying organic materials from plant
residues, animal waste, and humans which contain more than one nutrient element. The recent awakening of public
awareness of the impact of using anorganic fertilizers on the environment and the decline in soil fertility has
encouraged and required the use of organic fertilizers (Waryanti, Sudarno, & Sutrisno, 2012). In the short term,
chemical fertilizers are indeed able to accelerate the planting period because their nutrient content can be absorbed
directly by the soil, but on the other hand, in the long term it will have a negative impact. negative impacts, such as
land shifts. The hardness of the soil is caused by fertilizer residues or residues from these chemical fertilizers, so that
as a result the soil is difficult to decompose. Chemical properties are relatively more difficult to decompose or break
down compared to organic materials. The harder the soil, the harder it is for plants to absorb nutrients. Use a higher
concentration of fertilizer to get the same yield as the previous crop.
The process of root distribution and root aeration (breathing) is disrupted and results in the roots not being able
to function optimally and this in turn will reduce the production capacity of these plants (Notohadiprawiro, 2006).
Combining the existing potential with agricultural and environmental problems, the researchers took the initiative to
utilize shrimp shell waste in restaurants and fish auction places as an ingredient in the manufacture of liquid fertilizer
with the help of EM4 bacteria, while to determine the effectiveness of the liquid organic fertilizer that has been made,
in this study we used fertilization experiments on chili plants.
From the background above, in this study the following problems can be formulated: 1). How is the process of
making liquid organic fertilizer with shrimp shell waste? 2). How is the effect of liquid organic shrimp shell fertilizer
on the growth of chili plants? 3). How about the test results for liquid organic fertilizer from shrimp shells? Based on
the formulation of the problem above, the objectives of this study are: 1). To know the process of making liquid
organic fertilizer from shrimp shell waste 2). To determine the effect of using liquid fertilizer from shrimp shell waste
on chili plants 3). To know the nutrient content in liquid organic fertilizer from shrimp shell. The benefits to be
achieved from writing papers and the broad impact on the development and utilization of science and technology in
society. There are several benefits from this research, which are as follows: For researchers, 1). Provide writer's
creation and innovation 2). Develop science and technology 3). Increase knowledge about the growth and production
of chili plants by providing liquid organic fertilizer from shrimp shell waste. For Society, 1). Providing information
to the public about the benefits of processing shrimp shell waste 2). Providing solutions in making environmentally
friendly liquid fertilizer. For Government, help improve community welfare by utilizing shrimp waste that pollutes
the environment.

4. CONCLUSION
From the results of the panel, it can be concluded as follows:
1. The best SHRIMLIZER (Environmentally Friendly Liquid Fertilizer) is a concentration between 600gr of
shrimp shell and 100 ml of EM4 bacteria with a height growth of 21cm to 26cm after 10 days of treatment
with the condition of the plant growing more fertile and the condition of the leaves being fresh and fertile.
2. The effect of shrimp shells on chili plants containing chitin and calcium carbonate with a mixture of EM4
inoculation containing Photosynthetic Bacteria (Rhodopseudomonas Sp), Lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus
Sp), Yeast (Saccharomyces Sp), Actinomycetes, and Fermented Fungi (Aspergillus and Penicillium) which
can accelerate plant growth is proven by the increase in height in stems and fresh and fertile leaf conditions.
3. The nitrate content contained in the SHRIMLIZER is 37.6 mg/l while the pH is on a scale of 6.9. Those value
met the Indonesian national standard which sets the nitrate level for liquid fertilizer between 33-38 mg/l. For
its own pH between 4-8.
Suggestions
1. It is hoped that this research can be used as a reference in the development and further research.
2. There are still many shortcomings in this study, therefore further research is needed, which is expected to
improve the shortcomings in this study by standardizing extracts and, adding concentrations, and extending
the observation time of stem and fruit growth in chili plants.
