On June 9, 2018, a team of students from the Faculty of Biology won third place in the poster category in the 2018 National Food Technology Competition (NFTC) at Widya Mandala Catholic University, Surabaya.
In this competition, a team consisting of Faridatul Hidzroh, Nurina Tahta Afwi Maulina, and Chalvia Zuyyina presented a research poster with the title “Melon Hikanet, a superior fruit innovation from fruit diversification. Local.”
Comments:
Research on melon hikanet has been conducted since January 2017 by the Gama Melon Team under Dr. Budi Setiadi Daryono, M.Agr.Sc. The hikanet melon presented in the poster is a hybrid melon produced from a cross between Hikapel and Tacapa silver melons. In the future, Hikanet melon is expected to become one of the new superior melon cultivars which can compete with imported variants.
