Abstract

The issue of declining soil fertility and limited access to sustainable agricultural inputs is a major challenge for smallholder farmers in Kefa Selatan, Timor Tengah Utara Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. In response, a community service program was initiated under the title Empowerment of KWT Mekar Sari in Kefa Selatan Subdistrict through Biochar Compost Training for Horticultural Cultivation. The objective of this activity was to enhance the capacity of local farmers, particularly members of the Mekar Sari Women Farmers Group (KWT), in producing and utilizing biochar compost to improve soil quality and increase horticultural crop productivity. The activity was carried out from July to September 2024 in Kefa Selatan and involved 15 local farmers as participants, facilitated by a team of 7 lecturers and students from the University of Timor. The methods employed included educational sessions on the benefits of compost, hands-on training in biochar compost production, and demonstration of its application in horticultural crop cultivation. As a result, participants gained practical knowledge and skills in sustainable composting techniques and showed increased awareness of organic farming benefits. The training also stimulated greater community engagement and environmental awareness. This program is expected to serve as a model for similar initiatives in other rural communities.

Abstract

Maubesi Village is an area with significant potential for the development of eucalyptus (Melaleuca cajuputi). The Faot Bano Farmers Group utilizes this plant through distillation using a simple distillation apparatus made from a rust-proof drum, with an ineffective cooling system, resulting in low eucalyptus oil yield. Recognizing this potential, a eucalyptus oil distillation technology mentoring program was conducted to improve farmers' technical capacity in the production process and to improve the yield and quality of the eucalyptus oil produced. The program methods included knowledge transfer, distillation equipment operational training, and hands-on distillation practice using appropriate and easy-to-operate distillation equipment. The distillation process, which takes 4-5 hours, produces an oil yield of 1.5 liters (1.5%) from 100 kg of eucalyptus leaves. The oil yield increased compared to before the mentoring program, and the oil quality met better visual and aromatic characteristics. This activity proves that the application of appropriate distillation technology and supported by continuous mentoring can increase the production and quality of eucalyptus oil, and has the potential to strengthen the economic independence of the Maubesi Village community based on local resources.
