Abstract

One of the plantation products that is a mainstay export commodity and is considered quite strategic in supporting the Indonesian economy is tea. However, in recent years tea production has fluctuated, to keep Indonesia as the world's main tea producer, production problems and intensive efforts that support productivity need to be managed optimally. Tea quality is strongly influenced by environmental factors such as the presence of weeds. Assessment of the types of weeds in tea plants can be done by identification based on morphology. The purpose of this study was to identify weeds in tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.) in the Liki plantation unit at PT. Mitra Kerinci. This activity was carried out in July - August 2022 at PT. Mitra Kerinci, Sungai Lambai, Nagari Lubuk Gadang Selatan, Sangir District, South Solok Regency, West Sumatra Province. Observations were made using descriptive methods. It was concluded that there were 8 families and 14 species of broad-leaf weeds; 1 family and 2 species of Cyperaceae weeds; 1 family and 3 species of Poaceae weeds; and 3 families and 4 species of Filicinae weeds in this tea plantation.

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

Climate change is a global issue that has a significant impact, especially for agricultural countries such as Indonesia. The agricultural sector is highly vulnerable to changes in climate patterns, temperature, and rainfall, which affect production, food security, and community welfare. The younger generation has a strategic role in facing these challenges due to its large numbers and potential as change agents. In 2024, 31.02% of Indonesia's population will be between 15 and 29 years old. Therefore, raising climate awareness among the younger generation is crucial. This program aims to increase the understanding and capacity of the younger generation through education and climate-smart agricultural practices, including climate change mitigation and adaptation to prevent food crises and stunting. The activities were designed as Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat Terintegrasi dengan Kegiatan Mahasiswa (PKM-TKM), involving KKN students, lecturers, practitioners, and village officials. They were carried out at SMA 1 Basa Ampek Balai, Basa Ampek Balai Tapan District, Pesisir Selatan. The solutions offered include education and mitigation practices such as converting waste into compost, tree planting, and adaptation through planting calendars and biopori infiltration pits. The activities that have been carried out have succeeded in increasing the understanding, skills, and awareness of the younger generation regarding climate change issues. Through socialization, training, and technology application, participants gained theoretical knowledge and practical experience in waste processing into compost, making biopori holes, tree planting, utilizing organic mulch, processing local foods, and fish farming in buckets (Budikdamber). This activity has positively impacted participants' capacity to face the challenges of climate change while strengthening the role of the younger generation as agents of environmental and public health change.

Abstract

Stunting is still a public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in one with less of nutrition and health knowledge. It results in long-term impacts on learning, cognitive development, productivity, and risk of noncommunicable diseases. The relationship between home visits by community health workers and the concomitant effect of digital innovations to prevent stunting can be seen in this study, where it was conducted in Nagari Dusun Baru Tapan, Pesisir Selatan, West Sumatra. These community services were incorporated into the 2025 Community Service Program of Andalas University which included promo-gizi, local processed food processing training and monitoring of nutritional status in toddlers using Android-based application GiziAnakKu. The program was centered around 1,000 days of life as a crucial window period for child development through nutrition, including the practice of exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding and balanced diet behaviors. Results from surveillance showed that most of the toddlers possessed acceptable nutrition (85.3%), however, 14.7% were stunted and 8.8% had an increased risk of overnutrition indicating double burden of malnutrition. Attendees appreciated the training and reinforced the value of sustainable community-based intervention. Through empowerment of community health workers and use of digital technology, the present study adds to definitions for comprehensive stunting prevention that can become best practice in similar areas.

Abstract

Rainfall variability, in terms of amount, distribution, and timing, can increase the risk of crop failure and reduce crop yields. This study aims to analyze CHIRPS (Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Stations) rainfall dynamics across several coastal areas of West Sumatra and to evaluate agroclimatic zones to assess the suitability of climate-adaptive cropping patterns. Monthly rainfall data for the period 1995-2024 were analyzed using the IDW interpolation method to produce rainfall distribution maps. This study also classified agroclimatic zones using Oldeman's classification to assess the suitability of cropping patterns. The analysis showed significant annual rainfall fluctuations, with high rainfall dominating the 1995-2014 period and a decline in the 2015-2024 period. Changes in monthly rainfall patterns, particularly the increase in rainfall from March to May during the 2015-2024 period, may affect planting times and irrigation management. The three regions studied (Padang Pariaman, Pariaman, and Padang) are in climate zone A1, with more than 9 consecutive wet months, allowing year-round rice cultivation. However, rainfall fluctuations require adjustments in planting timing and the selection of secondary crops that are more drought-resistant. The results of this study provide a stronger basis for agricultural planning that is more adaptive to climate change, with recommendations for adjustments to the planting calendar and irrigation management to ensure the sustainability of efficient and sustainable agricultural production.
