Abstract

The community of Sialang Sakti predominantly works as oil palm farmers. Oil palm cultivation produces biomass, one of which is palm fronds. If palm fronds are not managed properly, they can lead to detrimental effects. Piles of palm fronds can become breeding grounds for pests and diseases that may disrupt surrounding palm plants. The biomass from palm fronds can be processed into vermicompost, but this is not widely known among oil palm farmers. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct socialization regarding the processing of palm fronds into vermicompost. The socialization with the community and Gapoktan Manunggal Sakti took place at the Gapoktan Manunggal Sakti warehouse in Sialang Sakti Village, Siak Regency, Riau Province. By utilizing palm frond biomass, the community was taught how to make vermicompost, supporting sustainable farming practices and biomass utilization. This activity involved community members and Gapoktan Manunggal Sakti, using materials such as palm frond biomass, Lumbricus rubellus worms, cow manure, and sawdust. The outcome of this activity is that participants can identify potential resources, such as palm fronds and other organic waste, to process into vermicompost, which can enhance soil quality and crop productivity. It is hoped that with this training, the people of Sialang Sakti Village can adopt the use of more environmentally friendly organic fertilizers for sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

Sungai Pagar, Lower Kampar Kiri District, Kampar Regency has high potential for oil palm production. One of the challenges is the abundance of palm frond waste in the plantation environment which has a negative impact, especially on the environment. PPK Ormawa Himagrotek Unri conducts training in making briquettes from palm frond waste as a form of community empowerment which aims to increase community knowledge about making briquettes from palm fronds, increase public awareness about the importance of environmental conservation, and improve the economy of the Sungai Pagar Village community. The method used in this activity is Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) in increasing awareness and actualization of environmentally friendly behavior of the community through developed institutions. Before the training, the community's knowledge about making briquettes from palm fronds was only 17.3 %. After the training, community knowledge about briquette making increased to 100%. Based on the PPK Ormawa briquetting training program, it is hoped that the Sungai Pagar Village community can utilize the potential of oil palm frond waste to improve the economy and also preserve the environment.
