Abstract

Coastal abrasion at Mampie Beach, West Sulawesi, poses a serious threat to community livelihoods and biodiversity. This community-based program aimed to implement Blue Economy principles by integrating eco-technology and mangrove adoption to mitigate abrasion while empowering the local community at Rumah Sahabat Penyu. The methods included the installation of 60 geobags, planting 300 Rhizophora mangrove seedlings, and training in mangrove-based soap making as a sustainable livelihood initiative. Evaluation results showed that 100% of the geobags remained intact and the mangrove survival rate reached 80% (though 20% were damaged by plastic debris, large wood, and human activities). Furthermore, 23 participants successfully learned the mangrove-based soap-making process, enhancing environmental awareness and economic resilience. This program confirms the effectiveness of combining eco-technology and community participation in coastal protection and sustainable livelihood development. Further monitoring is recommended to evaluate the long-term performance of geobags and mangrove survival during peak abrasion seasons.

Abstract

Diseases of patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) caused by fungal pathogens are a major constraint to crop productivity and oil quality, highlighting the need for effective and environmentally friendly control strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics, antifungal activity, and in vivo effectiveness of fermented biopesticide formulations derived from garlic (Allium sativum), lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus), and cigarette butts. The research consisted of formulation and fermentation using EM4, analysis of physicochemical properties, in vitro antifungal assays against two fungal pathogens at different concentrations, and in vivo evaluation of disease incidence and plant growth. The results showed that fermentation significantly reduced pH, indicating active microbial metabolism. In vitro tests demonstrated that both formulation type and concentration significantly affected mycelial growth inhibition, with formulations F1 and F2 exhibiting the highest antifungal activity and near-complete inhibition at higher concentrations. In vivo application confirmed these results, as F1 and F2 significantly reduced disease incidence and improved plant growth compared to the control. In conclusion, fermented biopesticide formulations, particularly F1 and F2, have strong potential as effective and environmentally friendly alternatives for managing patchouli diseases and supporting sustainable agriculture.
