<p><em>Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteri</em> (PGPR) that sourced form bamboo roots applied to Arabica coffee seeds to find out the effect of PGPR from the roots of yellow bamboo and green bamboo through maseration method with different types of doses on the growth of Arabica coffee seeds. The experiment used a Randomized Block Design as PGPR concentration as the first factor that consist of four (4) levels, that is P0 (control), P1 (PGPR 10 ml L<sup>-1</sup> of water), P2 (PGPR 20 ml L<sup>-1</sup> of water), and P3 (PGPR 30 ml L<sup>-1</sup> of water). The second factor is the type of bamboo roots, that is B1 (yellow bamboo) dan B2 (green bamboo). The result showed that the application of PGPR with a concentration of 30 ml L-1 of water gave the best effect on the growth of arabica coffee seedlings. Otherwise, the type of bamboo roots as PGPR sourses did not have a different effect on growth of coffee seedlings, but given better results on PGPR that made from yellow bamboo roots compare to the green one.</p>
Masyarakat di Desa Bontosunggu mayoritas bekerja sebagai petani tanaman padi dengan kendala utama berupa serangan organisme pengganggu tanaman (OPT). Selama ini pengendalian yang mereka lakukan dengan penggunaan pestisida sintetik, namun belakangan ini cara tersebut dinilai kurang efektif. Berdasarkan observasi awal diperoleh informasi mengenai kurangnya pengetahuan petani mengenai OPT tanaman padi sehingga pengendaliannya tidak tepat sasaran dan penggunaan pestisida yang tidak bijaksana sehingga terjadi kekebalan OPT dan rusaknya lingkungan sekitar. Pemecahan masalah dilakukan dengan melakukan penyuluhan mengenai OPT penting tanaman padi, diskusi atau dialog, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan pelatihan penggunaan pestisida yang baik dan benar. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan respon positif dari petani yang ditunjukkan dengan banyaknya pertanyaan saat diskusi, dan kemampuan petani dalam mengukur pestisida sesuai petunjuk pada kemasan.
