Abstract

The impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic was really experienced by the community and farmers in Margaasih Village, Cicalengka District, Bandung Regency. Efforts are needed to mitigate these negative impacts, especially in terms of the economic and health aspects by utilizing the available resources and opportunities. This community service program aimed to meet these needs, with three activities, namely by: (i) utilizing the abundant bamboo leaf wastes in their village; (ii) taking advantage of opportunities to meet the demand for grapes that are always imported from abroad; and (iii) optimizing their usual farming activities by introducing okra as a new vegetable that is not widely known by the public. These three activities have been carried out in Margaasih Village with a very positive response from them. They felt they got new knowledge and insights about things they have not done before. The bamboo leaf wastes that have been unutilized before can finally be turned into high-value compost. Grape plants could be cultivated by farmers in their lands. The productivity of the agricultural lands   can still be increased, i.e, by cultivating okra which has a high economic value. With these three efforts, we hope that farmers can increase the productivity of their farming businesses which in turn can increase their income and welfare.

Abstract

The use of organic matters on sweet corn cultivation is focused to decrease the utilization of chemical substances for minimizing environmental degradation. An experiment was conducted at Ujung Berung Indah Residence, Ujung Berung Districts, Bandung City (± 780 m asl.) from April to July 2020. The Aims of this research were to determine the suitable and effective inoculant to increase the growth of sweet corn plants. The sweet corn variety used was Bonanza F1 and the PSB inoculant that used was Bacillus Laterosporus. The organic fertilizers were compost, chicken and cow dung, and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB), as a biofertilizer. A randomized block design with three replications was utilized in this experiment. The treatments consisted of without organic fertilizers or PSB (control) (K), inoculation of PSB (P1), application of compost (P2), (4) application of chicken and cow dung (P3), and application of the chemical fertilizer (NPK) (P4). The results showed that the application of organic fertilizers and PSB increased the growth of sweet corn plants after harvesting. The inoculation of PSB resulted in highest plant height compared to control and the highest sweet corn yield compared to the control treatment, and even it was higher than the yield caused by the application of the chemical fertilizer.

Abstract

Climate change and land degradation threaten global ecology and food security. Biochar, produced via oxygen-limited thermochemical conversion of agricultural waste, offers a multifunctional solution. This narrative review with meta-analysis of quantitative outcomes (2010-2025 literature) synthesizes biochar production techniques, physicochemical properties, and sustainable agriculture applications, demonstrating biochar's critical role in soil health improvement and climate change mitigation. Studies were selected based on: (1) peer-reviewed English-language journals, (2) agricultural waste feedstocks, (3) quantitative soil/crop/environmental outcomes, (4) field-relevant research, and (5) methodological rigor. Recent research documents biochar's transformative effects on soil physical (water retention +18-25% in sandy soils), chemical (pH 7-11, CEC enhancement), and biological properties, particularly in degraded, acidic, or nutrient-poor soils. Performance depends on feedstock type (agricultural residues, woody biomass, manure), pyrolysis temperature (350-700°C), and residence time (0.5-4 hours). Field trials report yield increases of 10-340% (meta-analysis range), carbon sequestration of 3.7 t CO2eq/t stable biochar, and GHG reductions of 30-50% N2O and 12-25% CH4 across diverse soil-crop systems. Co-application with fertilizers/compost optimizes nutrient use efficiency, though performance varies by soil type and environment, necessitating site-specific strategies. Economic barriers, production costs, and carbon market access influence adoption. Critical gaps include long-term field data and mechanistic insights into biochar-soil-microbe interactions. Future priorities encompass engineered biochar (nanoparticle-modified for targeted functions), precision applications, and policy frameworks. Strategic, evidence-based deployment protocols will maximize benefits while acknowledging context-dependent limitations, quality variability, and trade-offs requiring careful management.
