Abstract

Kelompok Tani (KT) Surya Makmur represents a growing community committed to urban agriculture and sustainable food production such as Chilli, Lettuce, and spinach in Yogyakarta. However, challenges related to manual irrigation practices, inconsistent watering schedules, and resource management have highlighted the need for more sophisticated irrigation methods. This study integrated a drip irrigation system with a smart plug-based timer, leveraging the power of automation to optimize water use, reduce manual labor, and ensure consistent plant hydration. The installation’s design was made using Canva editing software. The installation of the drip irrigation systems includes the construction of a water reservoir tank base, assembly of irrigation channels with PVC pipes and 16mm PE hoses, emitters, and dripper sticks, and then installation of mist sprayers in the greenhouse. In this study, the tests carried out were the actual emitter flow rate, evaporation rate, and performance tests, including the coefficient of variance (CV) and emission uniformity (EU). Based on the study's results, the coefficient of variation (CV) value of 0.04% indicates good performance. The emitter with a theoretical flow rate of 8L/hour has an actual flow rate of 8.33L/hour, conforming to the equipment specifications of 94.9%. The average evaporation in the test field was recorded at 8.13 mL/hour. This study concluded that implementing the drip irrigation system has helped KT Surya Makmur reduce labor for manual irrigation practices, maintain a consistent watering schedule, and increase resource utilization efficiency.

Abstract

The Suryo Farmers Group (KT) in Mantrijeron, Yogyakarta City, is a productive community of 26 members. Founded in 2022, the group has demonstrated a strong commitment to utilizing limited land for crops such as mint, lettuce, and cucumbers, and even serves as an agricultural education center. However, its farming development efforts were inhibited by significant failures in hydroponic melon cultivation, with 95% of the crops failing due to disease. Factors contributing to this failure included a damaged greenhouse and members' lack of knowledge regarding cultivation practices, pest and disease management, post-harvest management, and marketing. To address these issues, an integrated community service program was implemented, combining intensive mentoring with knowledge enhancement through a series of outreach and training sessions. The intervention focused on four crucial aspects: proper hydroponic melon cultivation techniques, pest and disease management (PDM), post-harvest handling, and marketing management. The program's effectiveness was measured by comparing quantitative pre-test and post-test results, with a target of a minimum 70% increase in knowledge. The implementation of this activity, involving 26 members, demonstrated significant knowledge gains across all aspects. Data shows a sequential increase in knowledge for Cultivation (from ≈67% to ≈78%), PDM (from ≈63% to ≈85%), Post-Harvest (from ≈83% to ≈93%), and Marketing (from ≈88% to ≈98%). The highest increase occurred in the Marketing and PDM aspects, which directly address the group's main obstacles. The success of this program is expected to be the foundation for KT Suryo Farm to carry out sustainable melon cultivation, produce high-quality products, and implement strong marketing strategies, thereby being able to stabilize and increase the group's turnover.
