Pemberdayaan Petani Pumpikatu melalui Penerapan Mina Padi sebagai Upaya Optimalisasi Lahan Sawah

2025-10-07T00:37:57+00:00

Pumpikatu Hamlet, Bulukumba Regency, has considerable potential in rice field areas, yet the management practices remain limited to conventional rice cultivation, resulting in relatively low productivity and farmer income. One promising alternative is the mina padi system, an integrated approach that combines rice cultivation with fish farming in the same field. This system not only improves agricultural output but also provides additional income from aquaculture. This community service program aimed to provide counseling and technical assistance to farmers in Pumpikatu Hamlet in order to enhance their understanding of the mina padi concept, improve cultivation skills, and promote more productive and sustainable land management. The methods included the delivery of extension materials, participatory discussions, technical simulations of land utilization, and direct assistance in the establishment of demonstration plots. The results indicated an increase in farmers’ knowledge regarding the benefits and application of the mina padi system, the development of positive attitudes and motivation to adopt the technology, and the initiation of trial implementation on group-managed rice fields as a demonstration model. Therefore, this program successfully broadened farmers’ perspectives on sustainable agricultural innovations and is expected to contribute to higher land productivity and improved community welfare.

Pelatihan Pembuatan Bubur California Untuk Mencegah Serangan Hama Tikus di Desa Setail Kecamatan Genteng

2025-09-22T15:05:36+00:00

Rodent infestations in rice fields have become a persistent and serious challenge for farmers in Desa Setail, Genteng, Banyuwangi. Various control methods such as the installation of owl house, the use of rodenticides, and fumigation have been applied, however, the results remain suboptimal. In response to this issue, KKN of the University of Jember 2025 collaborated with the Flamboyan Farmers’ Group and the Agricultural Extension Officer to introduce an innovative and environmentally friendly alternative known as Bubur California (BC). BC is a locally developed biopesticide formulated from sulfur and limestone, which has the potential to reduce rat populations while minimizing ecological risks compared to synthetic chemicals. The program was implemented through participatory learning approaches, including structured socialization sessions and hands-on demonstrations of BC production. These activities enabled farmers to directly engage in the process, thereby enhancing their technical skills and practical knowledge of sustainable pest management. The outcomes revealed strong enthusiasm among participants, reflected in active discussions and willingness to adopt BC in their farming practices. This initiative not only addressed the urgent problem of rat infestations but also promoted community empowerment by encouraging self-reliance and environmentally responsible agricultural practices. Consequently, the adoption of BC is expected to serve as a sustainable solution for rat pest management while simultaneously safeguarding environmental health and supporting long-term agricultural productivity in Setail Village.

Sosialisasi Inovasi dan Pemanfaatan Limbah Pertanian Berupa Pupuk Jakaba dan Keripik Gedebog Pisang kepada Petani Desa Balongwono Kecamatan Trowulan Kabupaten Mojokerto

This community service program in Balongwono Village, Trowulan District, Mojokerto Regency aimed to enhance farmers’ awareness and understanding of agricultural waste utilization and innovation through the introduction of Jakaba liquid organic fertilizer and banana pseudo-stem (gedebog) chips. Jakaba, produced from the fermentation of rice-washing water, has been proven to improve soil fertility, accelerate plant growth, and reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers, while banana pseudo-stem chips provide an economically valuable product from agricultural waste that is often underutilized. The program was conducted through face-to-face socialization, interactive discussions, and the distribution of product samples to farmers. The results indicated a significant improvement in farmers’ knowledge, as shown by the increase in average scores from 79.54 (pre-test) to 90.28 (post-test). Therefore, this program effectively supports sustainable agriculture, creates value-added products from waste, and contributes to improving the welfare of rural communities.

Pelatihan dan Sosialisasi Pupuk Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) pada KWT di Desa Wilayu, Kecamatan Selomerto, Kabupaten Wonosobo

increase production costs and reduce soil quality. Members of the Women Farmers Group in Wilayu Village still rely heavily on synthetic chemical fertilizers for rice, vegetables, and horticultural crops, despite the negative impacts on soil and the environment. To address this issue, a community service activity was conducted in the form of training and socialization on the production of biofertilizers based on plant growth-promoting bacteria. This activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of the Women Farmers Group in producing and utilizing biofertilizers from bamboo roots as an environmentally friendly alternative. The methods applied included structured socialization, lectures, hands-on practice using simple materials from the local environment, and question-and-answer and discussion sessions. The results showed an increase in the knowledge and skills of members in producing biofertilizers, enabling them to reduce dependency on synthetic chemical fertilizers, implement environmentally friendly farming practices, improve the quality and added value of agricultural products, reduce production costs, and enhance the independence and welfare of members. The activity also raised awareness of the importance of sustainable agricultural innovation by utilizing local potential, particularly bamboo roots as a source of biofertilizer.

Pemahamam dan Praktik Petani dalam Penggunaan Bahan Aktif Zinc Fosfit dan Brodifakum untuk Mengatasi Hama Tikus di Desa Tembok Bahalang Kecamatan Hulu Sungai Tengah Kabupaten Barabai

2025-09-09T04:18:52+00:00

In an effort to effectively control rat pest populations, farmers have begun considering the use of active ingredients such as Zinc Phosphide and Brodifacoum, which are known to be effective in reducing pest impact. Farmers were provided with understanding and practical training on the use of Zinc Phosphide and Brodifacoum as part of a more systematic and targeted pest control strategy. This study aims to explore farmers’ understanding and practices in applying Zinc Phosphide and Brodifacoum, as well as to identify the challenges they face in implementation. The research method employed is the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, which emphasizes the active involvement of farmers as key partners in every stage of the research. In addition, the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach was used to explore the potential resources available within the community. The findings show that this research was conducted to identify farmers’ knowledge and practices related to the use of these two active ingredients. Furthermore, farmers also gained an understanding of the use of Brodifacoum as an active ingredient for controlling rat pests.

PENERAPAN TEKNOLOGI TEPAT GUNA ALAT PENABUR PUPUK UREA DI DESA MONTOR

This community service project was conducted in Tani Makmur Village, aiming to introduce and implement appropriate technology in the form of a simple fertilizer spreader. The program was initiated to address farmers' challenges, namely time and labor inefficiency, as well as health risks associated with manual fertilization methods that require a bent posture. In this activity, the KKN students not only conducted socialization sessions but also held a participatory workshop to build the fertilizer spreader with the community using locally available materials like PVC pipes. As a result, the farming community realized that the fertilization process could be more efficient, faster, and ergonomic. The fertilizer spreader proved to reduce physical fatigue, shorten working time, and ensure a more even distribution of fertilizer. This project successfully raised awareness about the importance of simple innovations and strengthened the collaboration between students and the community in solving local agricultural problems.
