Abstract

Food resilience is a shared responsibility between the government and the community to meet the food needs of all Indonesian citizens, particularly from West Aceh. One effort to optimize food resilience is to increase superior natural resources (SDA) such as rice. The use of chemicals to prevent rice weevil pests from attacking rice stores and ineffective fertilization management in rice fields often have negative impacts on both health and the environment. This socialization activity aimed to introduce the use of plant preservative powder as an alternative to controlling rice weevil pests in rice storage and the use of soil test kits to independently measure nutrient conditions in rice fields. This activity was carried out in Peunia Village, Kaway XVI District by involving members of the Ingin Maju Farmers Group as service partners. The results of this empowerment activity showed the importance of understanding the actual condition of the soil through soil analysis using soil test kits, such as pH meters and BWD tools. This knowledge aimed to minimize the possibility of a decline in soil carrying capacity (degradation) which can have an impact on rice production. The production of rice reserves can also be controlled from pest attacks such as rice weevils (Sitophilus oryzae) by using preservative powder made from aromatic leaves. Increasing farmer skills in these two methods were expected to support the realization of food resilience and more sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural management.

Abstract

Background: The Increased rice production will cause pest problems in storage warehouses. This pest attack can damage rice and reduce quality. The longer and thicker the stack of rice, the greater the number of rice weevil pests will appear and affect the quantity and quality of the rice itself. To overcome this problem, natural control can be carried out using medical plant as repellent so as not to damage the environment or the quality of stored rice. Based on the active compounds found in lime leaves, citronella, and marigold’s leaves, research is needed to determine the repellent activity of essential oils from citronella, lime, and marigold’s leaves against rice weevil (S. oryzae).  Methodology: The method used in this research is a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) experimental method with two factors and three replications. The implementation of the research was consists of Sitophilus oryzae Test Pest Propagation, Medicinal Plant Sample Preparation, Essential Oil Repellent Activity Test Using Rice, and Data Analysis using Two-Ways ANOVA with Post-hoc Tukey HSD 5%. Results: The result showed that the concentration of essential oils from Marigold, lime, and citronella leaves affected the percentage of rice weevil repellent. At a concentration of 100%, the essential oil extracted from marigold leaves exhibited lower repellent activity (90%) compared to the essential oil derived from lime leaves (94%) and citronella leaves (92%). On the other hand, the duration of the observation period did not significantly affect the repellency activity of essential oils derived from lime leaves, citronella leaves, or marigold leaves. The concentration of essential oils from Marigold, lime and citronella leaves on the best percentage of rice weevil repellent was 100% with the repellency percentage above 90%. Contributions: These findings indicated that essential oils derived from these medical plants have potential as environtmentally friendly repellents for controlling rice weevil infestations in stored rice
