Abstract

Jember Regency is an agricultural area. Giving fertilizer is one of the agricultural activities. It usually contains a phosphate. If fertilizer is used too much, it will cause environmental pollution. The level of phosphate pollutants increase that can cause eutrophication. Phytoremediation is a plants utilization technology to reduce pollutants. This study aims to determine the effect of Typha sp. and Echinodorus palaefolius to reduce phosphate levels from fertilizer residues. The research reactor was a batch. The reactor used bed evapotranspiration system. Phytoremediation test analysis was carried out every two days for 8 days. Typha sp. and E. palaefolius on the day 8th observation levels phosphate were down by 90,33% and 92,86%. The most efficient in this experiment was E. palaefolius.
