This activity aims to disseminate carbon tech technology and enrichment using microbes in agricultural waste into nutrient-rich biological charcoal. The products produced and the technology used was disseminated to farmers to utilize sandy land, which is marginal land in Ciro-Ciroe Village, Sidrap Regency, South Sulawesi. This activity also involved 5 students as participants in the Independent Study program in the MBKM program and members of the Mallawa Farmers Group. The implementation method is by conducting socialization and counseling about using organic matter to restore soil fertility. Demonstrations of activities were carried out starting from making biochar to application on sandy land with an area of 700 m2 as a demonstration plot for shallot cultivation. The results showed that the organic matter produced using carbon-tech technology had a neutral pH, namely 6.66‒7.22, the highest C content was in rice husk biochar applied by Pleurotus sp, namely 21.45, and the best maturity level was in corncob biochar + Pleurotus sp, namely 17. The highest N was in corn cob + Pleurotus biochar, the highest P content was in rice husk + Pleurotus biochar, while the highest K content was in corn cob + compost + Pleurotus biochar. These results indicate that applying microbial-enriched fire fertilizers and compost is very suitable for sandy land managed by farmers in Ciro-Ciroe, Sidrap Regency. This application is highly recommended for sandy land to produce superior commodities sustainably and environmentally friendly manner.
Aktifitas usaha pertanian dan perkebunan pada kelompok tani Hutan Kemasyarakatan menyisakan volume limbah berupa brangkasan, sisa panen, maupun limbah lain yang cukup banyak. Pengabdian ini bertujuan melakukan pemberdayaan pada Masyarakat yang terhimpun pada kelompok tani Hutan kemasyarakatan, Menumbuhkan kemampuan mengembangkan usaha Kreatif dalam pemanfaatan Limbah dari usaha Pertanian dan perkebunan mereka, serta upaya transfer Ilmu pengetahuan dan Teknologi pemanfaatan Mikroorganisme atau bakteri pengurai, sehingga masyarakat mampu membuat Kompos sendiri yang pada akhirnya nanti aktifitas pertanian-perkebunan tidak lagi menghasilkan limbah tak berguna. Kegiatan pengabdian secara langsung diharapkan bermanfaat untuk meningkatkan aktivitas produktif Kelompok, meningkatkan sumber ekonomi dari bahan-bahan lokal yang selama ini belum dimanfaatkan. Pengabdian masyarakat dilakukan dengan metode survey, wawancara untuk penggalian dan perumusan masalah dan penyelesaiannya, serta penyuluhan dan Pelatihan. Hasil kegiatan menghasilkan peningkatan pengetahuan dan kemampuan aplikasi penggunaan mikroba sebagai bakteri pengurai dalam proses produksi kompos berbahan baku limbah pertanian-perkebunan, serta kemampuan memperbanyak sendiri produk kompos dimasa yang akan datang.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
