Abstract

The use of organic fertilizers can improve soil conditions. Soil conditions include soil structure and health. The soil structure that has good aeration and drainage can increase plant productivity. The content of organic matter and microorganisms in healthy soil can be beneficial for sustainable agriculture. Making organic fertilizers can take advantage of the remains of organic matter or dry leaf litter around the environment. Appropriate application of organic fertilizers can affect plant growth and development as well as the quality of crop yields. Plant growth and development can affect plant productivity. High plant productivity and good quality yields can increase the selling value of the crop. The selling value of high yields can increase income and increase the welfare of farmers. Food crops such as vegetables can use organic fertilizers so that vegetables become healthier. Farmers can also reduce spending on inorganic fertilizers or chemical fertilizers. Making organic fertilizers can also be a business opportunity for farmers. The purpose of this community service activity is to provide counseling on how to making and apply organic fertilizers, especially for vegetable crops. The counseling participants came from the Ponorogo Organic Farming Community in Jabung Village, Ponorogo Regency. Outreach to farmers using lectures, presentations, video screenings, and interactive discussions. Farmers' understanding increased by 37.5% on how to make and apply organic fertilizers. On average, farmers have an initial understanding level of 30%. After receiving counseling, the farmers' understanding increased to 67.5%.

Abstract

Soil degradation will affect the availability of soil nutrients. Microbes role was important in supplying soil nutrient. How is microbes supply the nutrients can be learned through the metagenome technique. Metagenome is one of the molecular techniques that can identify microbial communities from soil samples that are used quickly and precisely. Through the metagenome technique, not only information about the identity of microbial species can be obtained, but also the enzymes produced, which will affect the soil nutrients availability. This study aims to detect and identify the impact of land cover types on microbial types. Soil samples were taken under agricultural land (LP) and agroforestry (AF). Each type of land cover was taken at 4 (four) different locations. The method used in this research is a molecular-based species identification method through metagenome analysis. This study showed that there are variations in microbial species in various types of land cover. This information is important for sustainable agricultural management in the future. Our study showed that on all of the land cover types, Proteobacteria were the most abundant phylum in all of the land cover patterns. Among them, s_Sphingomonas_melonis; f_Sphingomonadaceae; g_Sphingomonas; c_Alphaproteobacteria; p_Proteobacteria; and o_Sphingomonadales were the most abundant in the LP groups, while p_Acidobacteria and c_Deltaproteobacteria were the most abundant in AF groups. This composition of soil metagenomic was associated with the soil physic-chemical properties, especially pH and soil organic matter.

Abstract

The research aims to produce a textbook for undergraduate students, especially the students of the Agrotechnology Study Program in Agricultural Faculty of UPN “Veteran” Jawa Timur. Since beginner students quite hard to understand the theory and practice of biotechnology in the agricultural field, thus a textbook was needed to help them improved their understanding of all the general and basic knowledge of biotechnology. This research was conducted by collecting any information from some literature due to biotechnology, then write it into a good textbook. Moreover, some of the research results were also reported in it. This textbook was included eight chapters, respectively: 1) definition, history, and the role of biotechnology; 2) genetic materials; 3) gene structure and expression; 4) molecular technique; 5) biotechnology application; 6) molecular marker and biomarker; 7) bioinformatic; and 8) security, management and intellectual property rights of the genetically modified organism. This book was also written completely with some questions as a task for the students in each chapter. As a result, a textbook with the specificity is 205 pages in HVS (A4) size, written in Bahasa, and the title of this book is “Bioteknologi Umum Untuk Mahasiswa Pemula (Teori dan Aplikasi Bioteknologi di Segala Bidang)”. Although this book was aiming at agricultural students, the theory in it was also enriched with biotechnology information in some aspects, such as medical, environmental, and food technology.
