Pest and disease attacks are one of the obstacles in increasing shallot production in the Palu Valley, Central Sulawesi. Farmers still rely on the use of synthetic pesticides to control pests and diseases, which results in a high demand for insecticides and fungicides. This community service aims to disseminate pest control technology with the bioinsecticide Beauveria bassiana and disease control with the biofungicide Trichoderma, as well as train farmers to develop and apply it on their farms to solved the problems. The methods applied are training, technology application demonstration plots, coaching, and mentoring. The results of the activity showed that the participants were able to make and develop the bioinsecticide Beauveria bassiana and the biofungicide Trichoderma well. The application of bioinsecticides and biofungicides on demonstration plots reduced the intensity of onion caterpillar attacks and stem rot disease of shallots. With these results, farmers are expected to be able to develop and apply them in their farms.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic affects all sectors, including agriculture. Challenges faced by the "Belo Singgani" Livestock Farmer Group include a lack of skills in enhancing agricultural productivity at a macro level, resulting in low marketability of agricultural products, and insufficient community engagement and awareness regarding agricultural maintenance and utilization. To address these issues, implementing zero waste farming system technology, specifically integrated farming techniques, is proposed as a solution. The Community-based Empowerment Program (PBM) aims to support the community in implementing a zero waste farming system for economic empowerment post-Covid-19. Methods employed include training, demonstration plots, and community assistance. Results from the community service initiative indicate an 80% increase in participants' knowledge about zero-waste farming systems and 60% of participants successfully utilizing waste to produce organic fertilizer. This is evidenced by the production and utilization of organic fertilizer, contributing to the development of a sustainable zero waste farming system.
