Abstract

Agarwood (Aquilaria malaccensis Lamk.) is a highly sought-after non-timber forest product due to its valuable resin used in perfumes, medicines, and cosmetics. However, despite its significant commercial potential, agarwood cultivation in Indonesia remains underdeveloped, particularly in Sumatra. Agarwood seedling propagation can be achieved through land extensification, particularly by utilizing marginal lands. In West Sumatra, most marginal lands consist of ultisol soil, which has very low nutrient content. Therefore, the addition of organic matter and microorganisms is necessary to improve soil health and fertility to support plant growth. This study evaluated the effects of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) and NASA Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) on the growth of agarwood seedlings in ultisol soil, which is known for its low fertility and high acidity. The experiment employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors: PGPR (0, 10, 20, 30 ml/L) and NASA LOF (0, 20, 30, 40 ml/L). The results showed that the appropriate application of PGPR and NASA LOF significantly enhanced the growth and development of agarwood seedlings, highlighting their potential in improving agarwood cultivation on less productive ultisol soils. The best combination of PGPR and NASA LOF at a dose of 30 ml/L PGPR and 40 ml/L NASA LOF produced the highest average seedling height (82.34 cm) and the greatest number of leaves (38 leaves per seedling), with all seedlings surviving and meeting the quality standards for transplantation.

Abstract

The Community Partnership Program to Support Business Development is partnering with the Taruko Saiyo Farmers Group in Koto Luar Village, Pauh District, Padang. This farmers' group has approximately 10 hectares of land and has the potential to become a model group in the field of sustainable agriculture. However, several challenges remain, such as limited practices in agricultural waste management, declining soil quality, and farmers' limited literacy and skills in applying appropriate technologies. Based on the identified issues, the solutions offered in this program include: (1) processing agricultural waste into compost, (2) creating biopore infiltration pits, (3) producing biochar from rice husk waste, and (4) implementing agricultural waste mulch made from straw on cultivated crops. This program's primary objective is to enhance partners' capacity in production management and socio-cultural aspects. In addition, this program also aims to improve partners' understanding, skills, and participation in agricultural waste management and the application of appropriate technology to create a more optimal microclimate for plants through the utilization of agricultural waste. Educational and empowerment activities in the Taruko Saiyo Farmer Group have succeeded in increasing the empowerment of farmers, both in terms of production management and socio-cultural aspects. Farmers demonstrated improved understanding and skills in managing agricultural waste by applying appropriate technologies. Additionally, farmer participation in all activities was very high, and some farmers began directly applying the training outcomes on their land. As a sustainability measure, the team also developed technical guidelines and simple documentation that can be used for further learning.

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to enhance the knowledge, skills, and awareness of oil palm farmers regarding the crucial role of the pollinating weevil Elaeidobius kamerunicus in supporting the natural and sustainable increase of oil palm fruit productivity. Currently, the low productivity of smallholder oil palm farms is generally caused by suboptimal pollination processes, a lack of farmer understanding of the biology and life cycle of pollinating insects, and the limited application of environmentally friendly technologies. The implementation methods of this service included counseling, interactive discussions, and field demonstrations on the identification, conservation, and utilization strategies of E. kamerunicus in oil palm plantations. The activity results showed an increase in farmer knowledge by 76.92% (based on pre-test and post-test), improved farmer skills in recognizing and preserving the habitat of the pollinating weevil, and the growth of collective awareness to reduce the use of pesticides that potentially harm pollinator insect populations. The long-term impact of this program is expected to increase oil palm fruit productivity, strengthen the economic resilience of farmers, and support the realization of more environmentally friendly and sustainable oil palm cultivation practices. Thus, this education and empowerment activity makes a real contribution to improving the welfare of oil palm farming communities while preserving the plantation agroecosystem.

Abstract

Kegiatan Pengabdian Ipteks Berbasis Dosen dan Masyarakat (IBDM) telah dilaksanakan bersama mitra Kelompok Tani Harapan Baru yang berlokasi di Kabupaten Solok. Budidaya tanaman hortikultura yang dilaksanakan oleh kelompok tani ini sangat bergantung pada penggunaan pestisida untuk pengendalian hama dan penyakit tanaman nya. Seringkali penggunaan pestisida nya jauh melebihi takaran yang dianjurkan, sehingga produk yang dihasilkannya banyak mengandung residu pestisida. Mereka menyadari bahwa penggunaan pestisida yang berlebihan dapat mengakibatkan gangguan kesehatan dan menurunkan kesuburan lahan. Untuk itu, Kelompok tani Harapan Baru menyatakan ingin menjadi kelompok tani yang ramah lingkungan dengan melakukan praktek budidaya pertanian yang ramah lingkungan. Tujuan utama dari kegiatan ini adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan petani untuk pembuatan pestisida nabati. Kegiatan yang dilaksanakan terdiri atas persiapan dan sosialisasi kegiatan, pengenalan bahan pestisida nabati, praktek pembuatan pestisida nabati untuk pengendalian hama, dan aplikasi pestisida nabati ke lahan milik petani. Secara umum kegiatan ini dapat berjalan dengan lancar sesuai dengan yang diharapkan. Kelompok tani sudah dapat memilih bahan baku dan cara membuat beberapa jenis pestisida nabati. Pada kegiatan ini telah dihasilkan tiga jenis pestisida nabati yang berasal dari ekstrak daun pepaya yang memiliki metabolit sekunder seperti alkaloid, terpenoid dan flavonoid, ekstrak kulit jengkol yang mengandung senyawa asam jengkolat, saponin, terpenoid, tanin, steroid dan alkaloid, dan ekstrak daun sirsak yang mengandung senyawa annonain dan resin. Ketiga pestisida nabati yang dihasilkan terbukti efektif mengendalikan hama pada tanaman hortikultura, seperti bawang merah, tomat, kubis, dan cabai.

Abstract

One of the factors causing the low productivity of rice in West Sumatra Province is quality seeds, which are still very low. Also, many rice varieties currently used have a low resistance to pests and diseases, particularly the leafhoppers, which currently attack rice in West Sumatra. The National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN) is one of the institutions that produce new rice varieties through mutation technology, one of the varieties produced in the Kahayan variety. Kahayan varieties have several advantages over the previous varieties, namely early age, high productivity, and resistance to certain pests and plant diseases. This activity aims to disseminate the breeding of Kahayan rice seeds to breeding farmer groups so that they can fulfill their needs for rice seeds independently. The activity was carried out at the Air Sarasah Farmer Group in Nagari Sungai Batang, Tanjung Raya District, Agam Regency, from November 2019 to March 2020. The activity consisted of disseminating breeding activities, implementing Kahayan rice breeding, and assisting Kahayan rice varieties' breeding. From this activity, farmer groups have been able to better breed rice, according to the operational standards for seed breeding set by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia. Also, farmer groups have been able to increase their knowledge of certifying rice seeds. From the results of rice seed breeding, it was obtained that the Kahayan rice seed class Basic Seed (BD) yield was 6.1 tonnes/hectare, which exceeded the national average rice yield, namely in 2018, it was 5.2 tonnes/hectare.

Abstract

The Taruko Saiyo Farmer Group is a community-based farmer initiative that comprises and grows based on harmony, warmth, and shared interests in utilizing agricultural resources to collaborate in improving the productivity of agricultural enterprises, especially in increasing rice production. Given the strong desire of the members of the Taruko Saiyo farmer group to tackle the issues arising from climate conditions and feeling the need to be accompanied due to a lack of science and technology knowledge regarding climate change mitigation and adaptation, it is appropriate as a partner to support the desires of these farmers and to provide guidance until they can master the science and technology and become an independent farmer group. The purpose of this project is: 1) To help farmers understand climate information and forecasts to support agricultural activities, particularly for planting season decisions and the right technical cultivation strategies as an effort to increase product quantity, 2) To enhance science and technology knowledge and management skills of farmers in managing agricultural waste as support for farming activities, as well as to form an awareness of climate conditions. This community service activity is carried out from June to September 2024. Some of the agendas in this climate field school program include socialization, training, application of science and technology, mentoring, and evaluation. Based on the evaluation results, around 90% of the partner members felt an increase of about ≥80% in understanding, management, science and technology implementation, and production quantity. With ongoing support and active participation from various parties, it is hoped that this program can become a model for sustainable agriculture development.
