Abstract

The discovery of active compounds such as citronellol, citronellal, and geraniol in citronella grass (Cymbopogon nardus) opens new opportunities for using essential oils derived from this plant. These compounds are well-known for their aromatic properties and various benefits in the derivative product industry. Combining these three compounds presents immense potential for developing high-quality products such as soaps, aromatherapy, and pesticides. Community engagement activities were conducted in Cibarani Village, Lebak Regency, Banten. The fertile land in Cibarani Village is well-suited for cultivating citronella grass (C. nardus). The activities began with outreach and training sessions to educate the local community on the potential of C. nardus essential oil. This initiative aimed to equip the community with adequate knowledge and skills to process C. nardus oil into various derivative products. The derivative products introduced included botanical pesticides for controlling pests in cultivated plants. This information is particularly beneficial for the Mekar Rahayu Farmers Group, enhancing their knowledge and understanding of the potential of C. nardus essential oil as a botanical pesticide. It is hoped that the community will be able to produce botanical pesticides for personal use and sale to other farmers, thereby increasing their income. Simultaneously, the team also collected samples of citronella grass from Cibarani Village for distillation. The C. nardus oil obtained was analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to identify the dominant compounds. The essential oil produced from citronella grass in Cibarani Village, based on GC-MS results, revealed the main components as geraniol at 25.53% with a retention time of 13.212 minutes, citronellol at 15.71% with a retention time of 12.694 minutes, and citronellal at 17.19% with a retention time of 11.422 minutes.

Abstract

This community service aims to increase the income of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Solok City through coaching 10 superior MSMEs under the auspices of the Solok City Tourism Office. The primary focus of this activity is on regional culinary products, namely Sobalari (Solok Bareh Lamak Onigiri) and Sopirang (Solok Pinyaram Pisang), which were developed by the Solok Belibis Creative (Sobiskraf) culinary team. Previously, they marketed the Sobalari and Sopirang products without calculating the even Point (BEP) and Margin of Safety (MOS), so MSMEs had difficulty determining the level of profit or loss. By socializing the concept of BEP and MOS calculations, this activity provided training and assistance to MSME players from the Sobiskraf culinary team. The results of practicing the BEP and MOS calculations show that there have been significant changes in determining the selling price of Sobalari and Sopirang products, which has positively impacted increasing MSME turnover. Implementing this more measurable financial strategy improves the welfare of MSMEs and contributes to increasing Solok City's Original Regional Income (ORI).

Abstract

Paracoccus marginatus is one of the important pests that can reduce papaya production. Piper aduncum nanoemulsion has potential as a botanical pesticide to control papaya mealybug (Paracoccus marginatus). This present research was aimed to determine the most effective concentration in suppressing the development of P. marginatus. This study consisted of 6 treatments and 5 replications: 0.33%, 0.43%, 0.57%, 0.75%, 0.99%, and control. The observed parameters were: nymph mortality, adult mortality, daily mortality, adult emergence, LC50, and LC95. The data obtained were analyzed using variance (ANOVA) and 5% Tukey. The LC50, and LC95 value was analyzed using Polo Plus. Piper aduncum nanoemulsion exhibits strong insecticidal activity against nymphs and adults of Paracoccus marginatus under laboratory conditions. Among the concentrations tested, 0.99% was the most effective, causing 81.11% nymph mortality at 72 hours post-application; adult emergence was limited to only 13.33%. The LC₅₀ and LC₉₅ values at 72 hours were 0.506% and 1.222%, reflecting the potency of the nanoemulsion at relatively low doses. Further research under field conditions is recommended to evaluate its efficacy, formulation stability, and safety on non-target organisms.
