Abstract

Coastal environmental management is a major challenge in urban areas such as Surabaya which are facing the pressures of urbanization and climate change. This article discusses the implementation of smart technologies in urban agriculture as part of the green transformation to empower coastal communities. This community service activity includes the application of hydroponic and verticulture farming systems supported by Internet of Things (IoT)-based technology to monitor the plant growing environment. In addition to increasing crop yields, this technology helps communities manage resources efficiently, such as water and nutrients. Intensive training and mentoring are provided to increase community capacity in utilizing technology and developing agricultural product-based entrepreneurship. The results of the program show an increase in household income, environmental awareness, and sustainability of coastal ecosystems. This article offers a technology-based empowerment model that can be replicated in other coastal areas, contributing to the sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Abstract

Urban environments often grapple with the dual challenges of pest management and sustainable practices, highlighting a crucial research gap in integrating effective and eco-friendly solutions. This activity addresses the issue of house rat (Rattus rattus) infestations and the potential for Trigona bee (Trigona sp.) keeping in RW IX Griya Bhayangkara, Sukodono. The primary objective was to develop and implement a training program for constructing environmentally friendly rat traps and establishing Trigona bee colonies. Utilizing a hands-on approach, the methodology included the design of simple, water gallons-based rat traps and the setup of bee bamboo-hives tailored for urban settings. The expected outcome where the introduction of simple rat traps could reduce house-rat populations, while Trigona beekeeping offered additional economic benefits and environmental sustainability. This activity underscores the importance of community engagement in adopting these methods, demonstrating that local resource utilization and practical training can effectively address urban ecological challenges. The implications of this activities extend to enhancing urban pest management strategies and promoting sustainable urban agriculture practices, contributing to overall community well-being, ecological resilience, and the achievement of SDGs.

Abstract

Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a major insect pest of horticultural crops, causing significant yield losses.The efficacy of Beauveria bassiana, a potential biocontrol agent, can be influenced by growth media composition. This study examined the effects of cricket and fruit fly flour on B. bassiana growth and pathogenicity against Z. cucurbitae. The methods added B. bassiana growth media with different concentrations (0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%) of cricket and fruit fly flour and assessing its pathogenicity against Z. cucurbitae at a spore density of 10⁶ and 10⁸ spores/mL. The results showed that 1% cricket flour combined with a spore density ofspores/mL resulted in the highest mortality rate (29.33%) and the fastest infection (2 days). The lowest average mortalities were found in treatments without flour addition which were 21.3%, 19.3%, and 19%, respectively. The longest time to cause infection was observed in 7 days. Infection symptoms are marked by the emergence of white fungal mycelia covering the cuticle, while infected adults exhibit deformed, wrinkled, and smaller wings. These findings highlight the potential of growth media optimization to enhance B. bassiana virulence, contributing to the development of more effective and sustainable biocontrol strategies against Z. cucurbitae.
