Abstract

The objective of this community service action is to develop yards into plant cultivation areas with a fertigation system. Anticipated outcomes include the establishment of local food security within the community, which will promote a culture of food independence and protect the surrounding environment. This research was conducted from August to October 2023 through the utilization of the Participatory Rural Appraisal approach, lectures and demonstration plots. The outcome of this research is an enhancement in the partners' capacity to optimize the utilization of yards as cultivation areas for consumption crops, thereby realizing the long-term potential for achieving food independence. The researchers discovered that urban farming could be implemented in Tapis Village in order to establish a food-independent community. However, after receiving training, the researcher realized that for urban farming to be effective and increase community interest, it must also increase the economic value of the community.

Abstract

Large quantities of empty fruit bunches (EFB) are left behind by palm oil mills, and unmanaged accumulation of this residue creates environmental problems. Composting EFB is a sustainable, environmentally sound way to manage it. However, natural decomposition is slow, so a bioactivator such as Trichoderma sp. is needed to speed up the process and improve the compost. This research had two objectives: (1) to assess how EFB trichocompost affects seedling growth in the oil palm pre-nursery, and (2) to identify the most effective dose. A single-factor Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used. EFB trichocompost doses ranged from 0% to 100% in 5% steps (21 levels), each with three replications, in polybags. Statistical software was used to process the data. The work comprised EFB characterization, trichocompost production, preparation of the planting medium, transplanting, maintenance, and measurement of three growth indicators (seedling height, leaf number, and stem-base diameter). The data were subjected to ANOVA followed by the LSD test at α = 5%. All treatments (M1–M21) significantly influenced the three indicators. M13 performed best, giving the highest mean leaf number (7.14), the tallest seedlings (39.20 cm), and the widest stem-base diameter (11.10 mm), whereas M19–M21 gave the poorest results. These results indicate that a medium containing 60% EFB trichocompost (M13) is the best dose for improving overall seedling quality in the pre-nursery stage.
