Abstract

Chemical insecticides are often used to control palm oil pests due to their effectiveness and rapid effects. However, these insecticides leave residues in palm oil, leading to the presence of harmful chemicals that damage the agricultural environment. This has led to the use of various alternatives, such as mechanical control (trap), which is cost-effective and nature-friendly. Therefore, this study aims to determine the potential of trap with different heights and various amounts of pineapple to control horned beetles in palm oil plant. The study procedures were carried out using a factorial random group design and a factorial scheme with 2 treatment factors and 3 repetitions. The first factor was the height of trap mounted with 3 treatments, namely P1 = 100 cm, P2 = 200 cm, and P3 = 250 cm. Meanwhile, the second factor was N1 = 50 grams per trap, N2 = 100 grams per trap, and N3 = 150 grams per trap. Data obtained were then analyzed using Analysis of Variance. When the results differed, analysis was continued with Duncan's Multiple Range Test at the 5% level. The parameters observed were the number of horn beetles trapped, sex ratio, and the species of horn beetles. The results showed that in height treatment, trap had a significant influence on the number of horn beetles over 3 and 9 days. Meanwhile, in pineapple treatment, weight had no significant effect on the number of horn beetles trapped and sex ratio. The results also showed that the interaction between both treatments had no significant impact.

Abstract

The Jaya Lestari Farmers Group in Tiga Nderket Village, Karo Regency, faces challenges in improving the market competitiveness of their salak processed products due to limited knowledge and marketing skills. This community service program aimed to enhance the group's marketing capabilities through intensive training and mentoring. The program was conducted over two days at the Village Hall and involved 20 group members. Training activities covered the preparation of marketing materials, the use of information technology, and the development of social media content. Mentoring focused on integrating digital marketing strategies into the group’s business activities. Program evaluation showed significant improvements in the ability to use social media for marketing (from 30% to 85%) and in understanding marketing strategies (from 40% to 90%). This initiative successfully increased the market potential of salak processed products, expanded customer reach, and improved the welfare of group members.

Abstract

Endophytic microorganisms have become a central focus in numerous studies related to sustainable agriculture due to their dual potential as biological agents—functioning both as biocontrol and biofertilizers. The presence of endophytes within plant tissues has been shown to enhance vegetative growth, strengthen resistance against pathogenic attacks, and optimize nutrient uptake. This article presents a systematic review of recent studies from 2018 to 2024, addressing the classification, mechanisms of action, and potential applications of endophytic microorganisms in agriculture. Several bacterial genera, including Bacillus spp., Azospirillum spp., and Pseudomonas spp., along with non-pathogenic fungal groups such as Trichoderma spp. and Fusarium spp., have demonstrated effectiveness in nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, phytohormone synthesis, and the production of antimicrobial compounds. Research findings indicate that the application of endophytic microorganisms as biological inputs holds great promise in supporting the development of environmentally friendly, sustainable, and high-yielding agricultural systems.

Abstract

This community service program (PKM) aimed to strengthen the capacity of two partners—the Mbuah Page Farmers’ Group and the Youth Organization of Lau Solu Village—through outreach, training, hands-on implementation, and intensive mentoring on three appropriate technologies: floating rice rafts, backyard hydroponics, and the production of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) based on local microorganisms. The methods included open outreach sessions, stepwise practical training, technology implementation on partners’ fields/yards, and weekly monitoring over three months using pre- and post-tests. Results show increased knowledge and skills among participants; a floating-raft prototype operated on flood-prone plots, an NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) backyard hydroponics system functioned as a demonstration unit, and household-scale LOF production became routine. Early impacts were observed in more efficient input use, greater availability of quick-harvest vegetables, and strengthened organizational governance within the Youth Organization. The program concluded with a sustainability plan comprising basic production kits for three cropping cycles, farm-business management training, and assistance in drafting proposals for support from the village government/BUMDes.

Abstract

In order to succeed in the development of agricultural sector in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture Number 67/Permentan/SM.050/12/2016 concerning Farmer Institutional Development, it is necessary to provide community service in the agricultural sector and plant cultivation as efforts to strengthen food self-sufficiency, especially during the Covid 19 pandemic. For this reason, we need to carry out community service activities for the production of liquid organic fertilizer using microorganism Bacillus cereus in Pantai Cermin Village, Tanjung Pura District. As we know Pantai Cermin Village, Tanjung Pura District, Langkat which about is 63.6 Km from Medan. In general, the majority of farmers own rice and corn areas and are members of the Gemah Ripah farmer group consisting of 30 farmers. From the results of dedication program, there are around 3000 hectares of rice and corn fields that have become a rice barn for the last 15 years, especially in Langkat Regency. Based on the results of the survey and partner interviews, several priority problems were obtained, including: a. There was a decrease in the selling price of corn in Langkat by Rp. 1,900,-/Kg from the selling price of corn in 2019 of Rp. 4,900,-/Kg to Rp. 3,000,-/Kg currently in Langkat; b. Rice farmers experienced a decrease in purchasing power of chemical compost during the Pandemic, because the price of solid organic compost from the Probiodek brand that functions as a decomposer of organic matter rose to Rp. 40,000,-/Kg; c. Farmers experienced a decline in purchasing power of chemical insecticides on the market; d. Farmers in Langkat currently do not have a knapsacksprayer and they only use 2 units of knapsacksprayer from government assistance to spray plant pests & diseases and this tool is used interchangeably for all farmer groups; e. Farming management is carried out in a simple and conventional way, namely using local F1 seeds (yield) from the previous corn harvest); f. Rice harvesting as well as shelling corn use a simple method of rice mill machine. In order to develop the potential of rice and corn barns, it is necessary to strengthen the independence of farmers through community dedication program (PKM) training in the production of liquid organic fertilizer using microorganism Bacillus cereus from Ristekdikti. The focus is to develop production of liquid organic fertilizer as an alternative to chemical fertilizers and chemical insecticides. The use of microorganisms Bacillus cereus is especially useful for facilitating the decomposition of organic matter in liquid fertilizer solutions so that it is more easily absorbed by plants as fertilizer and insecticide, as well as assisting and motivating partners to continuously continue producing liquid organic fertilizers because it saves costs in purchasing chemical fertilizers and pesticides in the future so as to create economic independence for partners. This will certainly improve the economy of farmer group partners so that life can be more prosperous. All of these activities aim to foster independence in partners when the program ends. It is hoped that food self-sufficiency can be realized that is free from residues of chemical fertilizers and insecticides so that environmentally sustainable agriculture can be realized.
