Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pelatihan kepada petani tembakau di Kecamatan Pedan, Kabupaten Klaten, dalam memanfaatkan batang tembakau sebagai bahan baku pembuatan pestisida nabati. Limbah batang tembakau yang selama ini belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal memiliki kandungan senyawa aktif seperti nikotin yang efektif sebagai insektisida alami. Kegiatan dilaksanakan melalui pendekatan partisipatif dan edukatif, meliputi penyuluhan, demonstrasi, dan praktik langsung. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa petani mampu memahami dan mempraktikkan tahapan pembuatan pestisida nabati secara mandiri, dengan tingkat partisipasi dan antusiasme yang tinggi. Hasil kuesioner juga menunjukkan bahwa lebih dari 85% peserta memahami materi dan siap mengaplikasikannya di lahan masing-masing. Pemanfaatan batang tembakau ini dinilai memiliki potensi keberlanjutan yang tinggi karena bahan baku mudah diperoleh dan proses pembuatannya sederhana. Untuk mendukung keberlanjutan program, disarankan pembentukan kelompok kerja petani dan dukungan dari pemerintah desa serta penyuluh pertanian. Kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi langkah nyata dalam mendorong pertanian yang lebih ramah lingkungan dan mandiri secara ekonomi.

Abstract

Smallholder farmers face persistent challenges in adding value to their agricultural products due to limited access to digital marketing knowledge and skills. Many of these farmers struggle to connect their production activities with current market demands, resulting in low product appeal and reduced income. This community service program aimed to bridge that gap by introducing digital capacity-building in packaging and product promotion. The team designed a participatory learning method that combined visual presentations, product demonstrations, and guided discussions to improve farmers’ understanding and motivation. The facilitators conducted the training at a rural farmer group in Jumapolo, involving 30 participants from various age groups. The team collected data using pre- and post-training questionnaires focused on knowledge, attitude, and behavioral intention. The Kruskal-Wallis H Test was used to analyze the differences in post-intervention score across age groups. The analysis revealed a significant improvement in learning outcomes, particularly among younger participants who were more receptive to digital tools and practices. The observations in the field also showed that younger farmers actively engaged in hands-on sessions, while older farmers preferred visual learning and peer support. This program demonstrated that digital empowerment efforts can be practical when tailored to different learning profiles. Future community programs should consider adopting segmented approaches and implementing intergenerational mentoring to ensure the inclusive adoption of digital marketing skills. Policymakers and agricultural institutions must support continuous learning models that connect production with market access through practical, user-friendly digital training.

Abstract

One of the fruits that is in demand by consumers with a fairly high economic value is melon. Melon plants are native to Africa that have many vitamins and minerals that are useful for body health. Millennial farmers have recently been involved in the hydroponic melon business because it has a high selling value. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the hydroponic cultivation decisions of millennial farmers. The study was conducted in several sub-districts in Sragen Regency, including Gemolong, Plupuh and Masaran. The sampling method was carried out using the Snowball sampling method. This study utilized various data analyzes used for SEM-PLS analysis. This study examined factors influencing farmers’ decisions to cultivate hydroponic melons, focusing on technical, economic, social, and cultural aspects. Respondents were mostly young men with limited experience but high learning potential. Production outcomes varied widely, reflecting diverse capacities. Validity and reliability tests confirmed robust measurement. Effect size and path analysis revealed that decisions were dominantly shaped by technical (f² = 0.819, negative effect) and economic (f² = 0.391, positive effect) factors, while social and cultural aspects were minor. The study highlights technology complexity and economic constraints as key barriers, suggesting training, accessible facilities, and market support as priority strategies.

Abstract

This research was carried out on the basis of the increasing national market need for shallots while production still needs to be increased. This research was carried out from August 2022 to October 2022 in Semono Hamlet, Tempursari Village, Sambi District, Boyolali Regency. Altitude 184 above sea level, soil pH 6, Vertisol soil type (PPT = Grumosol). This study used a Complete Randomized Block Design (RAKL) consisting of two factors, the first factor being the type of manure which is divided into three levels, namely Fermentation of Chicken Manure, Fermentation of Goat Manure, Fermentation of Cow Manure ( P1, P2, P3). The second factor is the dose of KNO3 fertilizer which is divided into three levels, namely dose 75 kg/ha, dose 150 kg/ha, and dose 225 kg/ha (K1, K2, K3). each with 3 replications. The parameters observed in this study were the response of shallot plants to each type of manure to the addition of KNO3 fertilizer including Growth Parameters which included plant height, number of tillers (Kaplings), Fresh Stove Weight, and Stove Weight dry while the plant yield parameters include wet tuber weight per sample (g), dry tuber weight per sample (g), tuber wet weight per plot (g), tuber dry weight per plot (g), tuber diameter (cm) to determine the most effective dosage of manure in combination with KNO3 doses to increase shallot crop yields. The results showed that the KNO3 dose of 225 kg/ha had a significant effect on the parameters of wet stover weight and dry stover weight.
