Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of palm sap (Borassus flabellifer L.) as an organic plant growth regulator on the vegetative growth of Dendrobium welirang orchids. Palm sap contains natural sugars, minerals, and biologically active components that may serve as an organic plant growth regulator. The research was conducted at the Candi Orchid Greenhouse in Semarang from July to October 2024 using a Completely Randomized Design with four palm sap concentrations, namely 0, 100, 150, and 200 ml/l, each applied in five replications. Observed parameters included plant height and root length. Data were analyzed using One Way ANOVA at a 5% significance level, followed by the Duncan Multiple Range Test. The results showed that palm sap concentration significantly affected plant height with the growth o1bserved in treatment P3 showing an average result of 12.01 cm. In contrast, root length was not significantly affected. These findings indicate that palm sap has potential as an environmentally friendly organic plant growth regulator to support vegetative growth of Dendrobium welirang orchids.

Abstract

Children with special needs are more vulnerable to minor injuries due to limited motor coordination and low awareness of environmental risks, emphasizing the need for accessible first-aid education. This community service program aimed to improve inclusive health literacy and basic first-aid skills by integrating traditional games, Bola Bekel and Ular Naga, as culturally based learning media. A Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach was applied in collaboration with teachers and students at Widya Bhakti Special Needs School, Semarang, through planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. The adapted games introduced essential first-aid concepts, including recognizing common injuries, selecting appropriate first-aid equipment, and practicing simple response procedures through guided simulations. The program results showed increased student understanding of first-aid tools, greater confidence in performing basic first-aid actions, improved motor coordination, and enhanced social interaction. In addition, the activity strengthened partner empowerment by improving teachers’ capacity to independently implement game-based first-aid learning and integrate it into school activities, supporting program sustainability. This program contributes to the development of culturally relevant, inclusive, and sustainable first-aid education models for children with diverse abilities.
