This community service program was conducted from April to June 2026 in collaboration with the Karya Usaha Bersama Farmers Association (Gapoktan) in Moncok Karya, Ampenan Village, involving 20 farmers as participants. The program aimed to enhance farmers' knowledge and skills in the production of mycorrhiza-enriched bioameliorants derived from cattle manure waste and their application in glutinous corn cultivation. The activities were implemented through lectures, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and community empowerment approaches. A demonstration plot covering 400 m² of sandy soil was established to evaluate the application of the mycorrhizal bioameliorant under field conditions. Upon completion of the program, participating farmers demonstrated improved theoretical understanding of mycorrhizal bioameliorant production as well as enhanced practical knowledge and skills in its application on sandy soils. The cultivated glutinous corn exhibited vigorous growth and improved productivity. Furthermore, the partner farmer group actively participated in all stages of the program, contributing to the successful implementation and adoption of the introduced technology.
