Abstract

Simbolon Village, located in Padang Bolak District, North Padang Lawas Regency, is a community where the majority of residents work as farmers; however, they face ongoing issues with crop pests, which are typically managed using synthetic chemical pesticides. Continuous use of chemical pesticides can have negative impacts on health, soil fertility, and the surrounding environment. This community service initiative aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of farmer groups in Simbolon Village regarding the production of botanical pesticides based on lemongrass (*Cymbopogon citratus*) as an eco-friendly alternative. The implementation method involved awareness-raising sessions, production demonstrations, and guidance on the application of the botanical pesticide for [number] participants from local farmer groups. The results indicate an increase in participants' knowledge regarding the benefits and preparation methods of botanical pesticides, evidenced by their high level of enthusiasm during the training and their ability to independently produce the pesticide. This activity is expected to encourage the adoption of eco-friendly farming practices and reduce farmers' reliance on chemical pesticides in Simbolon Village.
