In order to succeed in the development of agricultural sector in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture Number 67/Permentan/SM.050/12/2016 concerning Farmer Institutional Development, it is necessary to provide community service in the agricultural sector and plant cultivation as efforts to strengthen food self-sufficiency, especially during the Covid 19 pandemic. For this reason, we need to carry out community service activities for the production of liquid organic fertilizer using microorganism Bacillus cereus in Pantai Cermin Village, Tanjung Pura District. As we know Pantai Cermin Village, Tanjung Pura District, Langkat which about is 63.6 Km from Medan. In general, the majority of farmers own rice and corn areas and are members of the Gemah Ripah farmer group consisting of 30 farmers. From the results of dedication program, there are around 3000 hectares of rice and corn fields that have become a rice barn for the last 15 years, especially in Langkat Regency. Based on the results of the survey and partner interviews, several priority problems were obtained, including: a. There was a decrease in the selling price of corn in Langkat by Rp. 1,900,-/Kg from the selling price of corn in 2019 of Rp. 4,900,-/Kg to Rp. 3,000,-/Kg currently in Langkat; b. Rice farmers experienced a decrease in purchasing power of chemical compost during the Pandemic, because the price of solid organic compost from the Probiodek brand that functions as a decomposer of organic matter rose to Rp. 40,000,-/Kg; c. Farmers experienced a decline in purchasing power of chemical insecticides on the market; d. Farmers in Langkat currently do not have a knapsacksprayer and they only use 2 units of knapsacksprayer from government assistance to spray plant pests & diseases and this tool is used interchangeably for all farmer groups; e. Farming management is carried out in a simple and conventional way, namely using local F1 seeds (yield) from the previous corn harvest); f. Rice harvesting as well as shelling corn use a simple method of rice mill machine. In order to develop the potential of rice and corn barns, it is necessary to strengthen the independence of farmers through community dedication program (PKM) training in the production of liquid organic fertilizer using microorganism Bacillus cereus from Ristekdikti. The focus is to develop production of liquid organic fertilizer as an alternative to chemical fertilizers and chemical insecticides. The use of microorganisms Bacillus cereus is especially useful for facilitating the decomposition of organic matter in liquid fertilizer solutions so that it is more easily absorbed by plants as fertilizer and insecticide, as well as assisting and motivating partners to continuously continue producing liquid organic fertilizers because it saves costs in purchasing chemical fertilizers and pesticides in the future so as to create economic independence for partners. This will certainly improve the economy of farmer group partners so that life can be more prosperous. All of these activities aim to foster independence in partners when the program ends. It is hoped that food self-sufficiency can be realized that is free from residues of chemical fertilizers and insecticides so that environmentally sustainable agriculture can be realized.
Fusarium oxysporum f.sp cubense is bad disease for barangan banana plants specially in Sinemba Tanjung Muda Hilir district, North Sumatera (Indonesia) and its control was primarily carried out in 2003 by the agriculture department through Balai Besar Perbenihan Tanaman Perkebunan Hortikultura or BPTPH (Center for Food Crops and Horticulture Protection) to community of banana farmer in the district through integrated pest control field school or IPCFS (or in Bahasa Indonesia it is called Sekolah Lapangan Pengendalian Hama Terpadu (SLPHT)). The studies were conducted to know the impact of the IPCFS to banana’s farmer in Deli Serdang (case of Panama wilt disease). The studies used the survey method by correlation of parametric Pearson product moment approach with statistical product and service solution (SPSS 13 version) to examine the rain climate and Panama wilt disease on 2001 until 2006 and tried to know the impact of social economic and cultural aspect using Leopold modified method. The result shows that the IPCFS can control Panama wilt disease at banana plant and contribute the positive impact in economic aspect.

Research on performance of N-Doped Graphene Nano Sheets (N-G) from coconut fruits as well as raw materials was carried out. The aims of this research are to produce gram scale N-G and evaluate its performance act as an electrode of primary battery cells. In this research, Graphene Nano Sheets (GNS) was produced from coconut fruits by using pyrolysis method. Then, N-G was generated with N-doped method where ammonia solution and room temperature were used as N atoms source and temperature doping, respectively. Finally, N-G was characterized with XRD, SEM-EDX, TEM, XPS, Raman and conductometer. XRD data shows that C (002) peak of N-G shifts to higher 2θ number comparing to GNS that is N-G (2θ = 24,72o) and GNS (2θ = 23.86o), indicating there is interaction between carbon and nitrogen on N-G. This data is consistent with XPS data namely the type of N-G is N-pyridin (BE = 402.0 eV) and C-N (BE = 286.8 eV). Interestingly, the TEM images show clearly N-G has the flat surface and the graphene layers distance are little bit expanding (0.36 nm) compare to graphene layers (0.34 nm). SEM images and EDX data also may prove the morphology structure like the honey comb lattices and containing N atoms dominant. Raman data succeed to clarify D-band and G-band from N-G. All of data show that N-G is well produced and proved. In addition, the good findings N-G has electrical conductivity and it may be used as an electrode on primary battery cells.
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.
