Abstract

The El Nino phenomenon in 2023 caused more than 50% of Shallot farmers in Pandean Village, Nganjuk Regency, to experience crop failure due to limited water and a weak data-based management system. The target of this community service is 30 shallot farmers who are members of the P4S Santosa Jaya group. This community service activity aims to increase farmers' understanding of the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in shallot cultivation through socialization, training, and farmer assistance. The implementation method includes preparation, interactive socialization with pre-tests and post-tests, as well as evaluation of farmers' perceptions. The results of the activity show a significant increase in knowledge, where before the activity 50% of participants were in the less knowledgeable category, and after the activity, it increased to 50% in the knowledgeable category and 26.7% in the very knowledgeable category. In addition, farmers' perceptions of IoT are largely positive (50%), although there are still neutral (30%) and skeptical (20%) responses regarding investment costs, internet access, and technical skills. These findings demonstrate that educational assistance can enhance agricultural digital literacy while serving as a first step toward data-driven farming adoption.

Abstract

Bug-Bug Village, which is located in Lingsar District, West Lombok Regency, has the potential for regional development as an agricultural area, because apart from the agricultural area being 42% of the total village area, it is also recorded that 27.45% of the population works as farmers. As a farmer, the need for subsidized fertilizer is certainly very large. Unfortunately, the government's ability to provide subsidized fertilizer is only 37-42%. By studying these conditions, the ability of farmers to make their own organic fertilizer is really needed. The benefits of organic fertilizer on the health of production results, the health of the surrounding environment and also the health and welfare of farmers, is also the reason that supports the "socialization and practice of making organic fertilizer" program by participants of the Mataram University Real Work Lecture (KKN) in Bug-Bug Village. The result of this activity is that farmers have high enthusiasm for the work program, local Agricultural Field Extension Officers (PPL) give high appreciation for the program and hope for support in the coming period. The Head of Bug-Bug Village also expressed high appreciation and hoped that in the next period of KKN, they would prepare a packaging and marketing program for fertilizer products

Abstract

The purpose of implementing this activity is to help improve the quality of palm sugar production in Karang Bayan Village and to be able to expand market share, both local and modern markets by marketing through social media. This study used a descriptive method, namely UNRAM KKN students in Karang Bayan Village, Lingsar District, West Lombok Regency for the 2023 period conducted a survey directly to the location of palm sugar production. Based on the results of the discussion, it can be concluded that the production process of solid palm sugar includes the preparation of tools and materials, the processing process which includes tapping, boiling, filtering, printing, as well as packaging and branding. Marketing is done through branding and e-catalogs. Branding is an effort to build and enhance the identity of a brand/brand with a very broad scope, while branding efforts include making a business name, logo and business location. While the E-catalog is data on various products that are designed with an editing application. E-catalog creation efforts include a list of business products as well as product information such as prices, product photos, cellphone numbers and addresses. The benefits of e-catalog itself are that it is easier to access by various parties, information on goods and services is more transparent and more effective in improving the performance of goods procurement

Abstract

The use of natural enemies as pest control has long been known, but has been largely replaced by the rapid development of chemical pesticide industry technology, especially since the green revolution. One alternative pest control technology that is quite promising to be developed is the use of biological agents (predators or parasotoids) that have more natural characteristics than chemical characteristics. With the presence of natural enemies which are then used to suppress pest populations, it will be safe for human health and the environment. It can be hoped that the agricultural products produced will be acceptable and highly competitive on the global market. Considering the Sembalun area as a tourism destination, it will be very relevant if the local community understands good horticultural practices. The intervention of using technology for farmers as an alternative in good Horticultural Cultivation is highly expected by farmers in the Sembalun area. Therefore, assistance is needed to implement integrated Pest Management in good Horticultural practices. The method used in this activity is the Action Research Method by applying a Participatory Action Program approach from participants through discussion and group work in all activities. The result is that farmers are very interested in implementing good horticultural cultivation, especially with habitat management approaches such as using refugia plants to control pests. Participating farmers increase their knowledge and skills to recognize differences in pests and natural enemies (predators and parasitoids) found on potato plants that are integrated with refugia plants. The target group has increased knowledge and understanding of the importance of implementing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices in horticultural cultivation. It is hoped that training and assistance activities for healthy horticultural cultivation efforts will continue both by the university team and related agencies. This kind of activity needs to be continued by the participating group and spread to other groups nearby. There is a need for assistance in applying for Prima 3 and Prima 2 food safety certification to farmer groups in the Sembalun Agrotourism Area, so that the number of products from certified horticultural business actors will increase. Activities to implement Integrated Pest Management in horticultural farming business groups in the Sembalun Tourism Area need to continue

Abstract

Members of the "Sumber Hidup" farmer group mostly carry out farming on narrow fields of land with very low yields. One alternative for developing farming businesses on limited land was the use of superior varieties and quality seeds of shallot. To achieve this goal, activities have been carried out to apply science and technology, both in the training/counseling and plot demonstrations (action research) for farmers. The method used in training was adult education with participatory techniques. The resulting output was an increase in the skills and knowledge of partner farmers. The demonstration plot that has been carried out was action research based on the results of research that has been carried out previously. The demonstration plot that has been done was to compare the planting of superior varieties of shallots with shallot seeds originating from farmers. The results of the activity showed that members of the "Sumber Hidup" farmer group who participated in the extension were very responsive to community service activities. Farmers heard and asked several questions related to planting superior varieties and quality shallot seeds on limited land. Participants were very active in every activity such as selecting seeds, making demonstration plots, planting, hilling, weeding and harvesting activities. The process of technological transformation of the use of superior varieties and quality seeds of shallots on limited land has occurred in the "Sumber Hidup" farmer group. The results of the demonstration plot showed that superior varieties produced 5-7 tons per hectare of shallot
