Abstract

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is an annual cereal crop with high adaptability to marginal and acidic environments, making it a promising option for peatland development in Indonesia. This study evaluated land suitability for sorghum cultivation in West Sumatra, Indonesia, using purposive sampling and field survey methods at the regency scale, in accordance with the FAO land evaluation criteria. Land characteristics were analyzed based on climatic, soil, and hydrological parameters. The results show that three peatland types in the study area are classified as moderately suitable with nutrient retention limitations (S2nr). These peatlands are characterized by average temperatures of 25–27 °C, annual rainfall below 2,000 mm, relative humidity below 75%, good drainage, peat depths exceeding 60 cm, and acidic soil conditions (pH 4.4–5.1). Low availability of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium was identified as the primary limiting factor for sorghum cultivation. Overall, the findings indicate that peatlands in West Sumatra have substantial potential for sustainable sorghum development, provided that appropriate soil fertility and nutrient management strategies are implemented.

Abstract

The majority of Lambung Bukik Village people, Pauh Subdistrict, Padang City, make a living from farming horticultural crops, secondary crops, forest plants (Sungkai and gaharu) and raising cattle and chickens. The Sungkai Permai Farmer Group has a 2-5-year-old gaharu tree, the seeds obtained through the Elok Nagari CSR activities of PT Semen Padang. Currently, the agarwood tree has good potential through the inoculation of fungal pathogens on the agarwood tree to form economically valuable sapwood and the use of its leaves as a health drink. This activity aims to: 1). the community knows how to cultivate agarwood plants, know its benefits, and know-how to process parts of the agarwood tree, such as sapwood and leaves, into raw materials for tea drinks, 2). provide special skills for farmer groups members so that they are expected to be used as independent businesses; 3). They empower the community in utilizing empty land through the cropping pattern of aloes agroforestry with plantation crops, 4). as a form of community activity from Andalas University, especially the Faculty of Agriculture. This activity was carried out in the Sungkai Permai Farmer Group, Lambung Bukik Village, Padang City. The Sungkai Permai farmer group has acquired knowledge about gaharu cultivation and tea use through participatory methods and training in the form of demonstrations and demonstration plots by planting approximately 150 gaharu seeds as raw material for tea through an agroforestry pattern. The Sungkai Permai farmer group has acquired knowledge of using the part of gaharu to become aloe tea as a drink and health medicine from the leaves and sap of aloes. The Sungkai Permai farmer group can manage raw materials for gaharu leaves and sap derived from gaharu trees around farmers' land in Limau Manis sub-district, or other areas. They can be a productive business opportunity as tea and medicine in health drinks to improve the community's economy.

Abstract

The people of Lambung Bukik Village, Pauh Subdistrict, Padang City, mostly work on horticultural crops, secondary crops, raising cattle, and chickens. Agriculture in this area uses mostly inorganic fertilizers and organic fertilizers. This results in the high need for farmers for inorganic fertilizers. The activity's objectives are 1. to obtain an organic production module by utilizing horticultural agricultural waste, secondary crops, and cow dung, 2. analyzing the organic fertilizer content, 3). obtain organic fertilizer containing high nutrient elements and 4. obtain organic fertilizer derived from organic fertilized waste material with EM4, MOL, and Trichoderma sp. Activities were carried out in the UPPO Sungkai Permai farming community through organic fertilizer processing technology. Participants in this activity are members of farmer groups, community leaders, and accompanied by Andalas University students. The activity methods applied are 1. training and demonstration on the manufacture of organic fertilizers from agricultural waste and cow dung using EM-4, Mol, Trichoderma sp, 2. demonstration of making local microorganisms (MOL), 3. analyzing nutrient elements of organic fertilizers, and 4. a demonstration plot of organic spinach and water spinach using organic fertilizers from three different organizer depupuk, namely: EM4, fruit mole, and a mixture of both. The results achieved were: organic fertilizer processing methods, and quality organic fertilizers with the highest average nutrient content of fruit mole samples (N = 1,823%, P = 1,717%, K = 0.757%, Mg = 0.742, C. organic 27,400 , Organic matter = 47.237, and the highest C / N = 39.645%. The demonstration plot of organic fertilizer from three organic fertilizer samples obtained that the use of fruit moles as organizer depupuk resulted in the best growth and yield of spinach and kale wet weight.

Abstract

Nagari Sungai Abang is one of the areas in Lubuk Alung District, one of the rice production centers in Padang Pariaman Regency. One farming group that intensively cultivates rice is the Farming Business group. The problem with the farmer groups is their ignorance of the benefits of straw as a source of organic matter in the soil. The composting process is long, so farmers always burn rice straw after harvest in preparation for planting the following season. If the burning of straw is carried out continuously, it is feared that nutrients will be deficient in the soil. This activity aims to empower Farming Business groups in Nagari Sungai Abang, Lubuk Alung District, to utilize Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) as a bio activator in making straw compost as organic fertilizer and an alternative to addressing the problem of straw waste in Nagari Sungai Abang, Lubuk Alung. This activity has been carried out in the Farming Group of Farmers in Sungai Abang Dalam Nagari Sungai Abang, Lubuk Alung District, Padang Pariaman Regency. The method used is outreach, counseling, and training to demonstrate making PGPR suspension and compost from straw. From the activities that have been carried out, ready-to-use PGPR is obtained as a bio activator reproduced in coconut water media and used as a bio activator to speed up the composting process. The conclusion of this activity is increasing farmers' understanding of the benefits of straw as a raw material for compost and the use of PGPR as a bioactivator in making straw compost.
