Zero waste agriculture is an agricultural concept oriented around the decomposition cycle of organic materials which integrates agricultural and livestock systems to reprocess waste material. Agricultural waste is used as animal feed while livestock waste/excrement is reprocessed into organic fertilizers. The Regional Partnership Service Program (PKW) aims to assist farmers in developing integrated farming businesses based around zero waste agriculture. PKW was held between May and July 2021 in Tindaki Village, South Parigi District, Parigi Moutong Regency. The implementation of this regional partnership program was carried out through a Participatory Action Programs approach, where partners are directly involved in the adoption and application of the various skills that had been developed. The procedure for activity implementation was carried out through several stages, namely: (a) counseling on zero waste agriculture, (b) training in and application of zero waste agriculture technology in the form of demonstration plots for the application of technological products, (c) coaching and mentoring, and (d) the utilization stage of technology product. The findings from the implementation concluded that the agricultural development training based on zero waste agriculture was a success, and the technology had been adopted by the community, marked by the ability to make and develop compost and liquid organic bio-urine fertilizers. Both types of organic fertilizers had been applied in the demonstration plots to assess their effectiveness in reducing the use of inorganic fertilizers. Rice production is equivalent to 5.6 tons/ha and 6 tons/ha in conventional land. These results show potential benefits for farmers, particularly regarding lower production costs compared to the usage of conventional land. Zero waste agriculture is a method of farming and livestock raising that utilizes their waste products for energy production.
Produktivitas usaha tani di Desa Dolago Padang Kecamatan Parigi Selatan masih sangat rendah disebabkan oleh praktek budidaya masih bersifat konvensional yaitu dengan penggunaan pupuk dan pestisida kimia tergolong intensif. Untuk mengurangi penggunaan input bahan kimia tersebut perlu digalakkan sistem pertanian organik dalam kegiatan usaha tani. Di desa Dolago Padang potensi bahan organik cukup banyak tersedia, namun belum dimanfaatkan. Program kemitraan wilayah (PKW) pertujuan untuk mendampingi petani dalam mengolah sumberdaya lahan dan ternak menjadi produk yang bernilai berupa pupuk organik dan pestisida rasional. Program menggunakan metode pelatihan dan demplot percobaan serta pembinaan dan pendampingan masyarakat. Hasil yang dicapai yakni masyarakat dapat mengembangkan pupuk organik cair biourin dan bioufungisida trihoderma sehingga produk tersebut dapat digunakan untuk mendukung kegiatan usaha tani organik.
This study aimed to increase the nutritional value of oil palm empty bunches (EFB) as ruminant animal feed by using biological treatment. To achieve this, five fungi species were used, including Trametes Versicolor, Lentinula edodes, Coprinus comatus, Pleurotus sajor-caju, and Trichoderma sp, which were inoculated for 20 days. Furthermore, the study consisted of 2 stages, in the first, the five species were tested for their degradability to lignin. In the second, the results were analyzed for their degradation ability by treating several numbers of inoculums (0.5 ml, 0.75 ml, and 1.0 ml) at different incubation times (20, 30, and 40 days). The results showed that the fungi treatment gave different lignin levels of oil palm empty fruit bunches compared to others. Furthermore, treatment with Coprinus comatus fungi produced the lowest lignin and the highest cellulose levels than others. This species works well compared to other fungi in the delignification of oil palm empty fruit bunches. With the use of Coprinus comatus, the lowest lignin and highest cellulose levels were obtained in a 0.5 ml inoculum treatment and at 30 days incubation time, however, there was no interaction. Conclusively, this study indicated that the application of Coprinus comatus to oil palm empty fruit bunches reduces lignin levels and increases cellulose by 22.04% and 20%, respectively. Consequently, there is an improved nutritional value of oil palm empty fruit bunches.
Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is pure oil that is processed from coconuts and has various benefits, especially for health. VCO processing can be done easily and simply. Using appropriate technology can provide added value and a long shelf life for VCO. The potential of coconut as the main raw material for making VCO is also considered quite good in the Central Sulawesi region. So the training on making VCO with the target group of Kowunat partners is very appropriate to carry out. In general, the purpose of this service is to provide knowledge and skills to Kowunat partners regarding the benefits of VCO for health and how to make and process VCO. This service is carried out through several stages, namely preparation for implementation, demonstrations of making VCO, presentation and discussion of VCO material and evaluation of training activities. The training was held for 2 days on March 24-25 2022 and was attended by 20 Kowunat members. The 100% attendance and enthusiasm of Kowunat members in the training activities indicated that this activity was successfully carried out. VCO from the training on the second day was 3 liters which was then divided into small plastic bottles of 100 ml.
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.
