Abstract

Patchouli is a source of essential oil which is a major commodity in Indonesia, especially in the Aceh region which can be a driver of the local economy. Community service in Lhoong Sub-District, Aceh Besar aims to improve patchouli cultivation through sustainable agricultural practices. Community service was conducted at the Patchouli Industry Center, Lhoong Sub-District, Aceh Besar Regency on August 13, 2024. The tools and materials used include a sprayer, conductor, bucket, eco-enzyme made from fruit peels with a ratio of sugar, fruit or vegetables, and water of 1: 4: 10, POC, and compost made from patchouli waste and surrounding agriculture, 2% baking soda in 1 L of water. Compost, POC, and eco-enzymes function as organic fertilizers while baking soda solution is a natural fungicide to control fungal diseases, such as powdery mildew. The study results showed that although the agroecological conditions in Lhoong Sub-District are suitable for patchouli cultivation, increasing soil fertility is needed to sustain patchouli productivity. Integration of organic inputs and natural disease control methods shows results that can increase the yield and quality of patchouli. However, community motivation in cultivating patchouli plants still needs to be improved, one of which is by providing education and motivation through training programs on effective cultivation techniques with internal inputs to activate the development of the agricultural sector that attracts the interest of local people, especially the younger generation. The approach used to increase the potential for organic farming practices that can increase land productivity and the local economy, ensures the sustainability of patchouli with high yields. Patchouli has a high price in the regional and global markets which can be an opportunity to improve the welfare of the Umong Seribee Village community.

Abstract

Eco-enzyme can solve the problem of waste in households and markets. Eco-enzymes can be a resource for healthy and productive cultivation of vegetables and herbs. Utilization of waste into eco-enzymes can be a new source of income and reduce costs for fertilizers and pesticides for vegetables and herbs. Eco-enzymes can be used for various purposes such as pesticides, liquid fertilizers, growth regulators (ZPT), enzymes that are beneficial for crops and the environment. The results of the analysis of pretest, posttest, and community enthusiasm for processing waste into eco-enzyme are very strong, which can be seen from the answers given by the participants after participating in the training on making eco-enzyme. Previously, in the pretest test, it could be concluded that the peoples in Lubuk Batee Village generally did not know how to make eco-enzyme and its application. Posttest after the implementation of making Eco-enzyme, the results of the response analysis from the two partners showed a significant increase in knowledge and skills in both community groups and this continued to increase after they saw the results of eco-enzyme application on crops. The introduction of eco-enzyme production in two community groups in Lubuk Batee Village, Ingin Jaya Subdistrict, Aceh Besar District has increased the knowledge and skills of partners to process waste into useful products and can reduce waste and its side effects on the environment. Eco-enzyme can also be made into various other products that are beneficial to society.
