Empowering the Rural Communities through Education on the Use of Chrysanthemums as Medicinal Plants and Herbal Tea

Abstract

Chrysanthemum is widely known as ornamental plants, but chrysanthemums can also be used as medicinal plants and can be processed into healthy beverages known as chrysanthemum tea. The purpose of the PPM activity is to educate the community, especially PKK women who are participants in this activity about the role of chrysanthemum plants in the prevention and treatment of various diseases such as fever, hypertension, osteoporosis, eye healthy and making chrysanthemum tea as a healthy beverage. PPM activities was carried out through outreach activities with presentations and discussions (question and answer), demonstrations of making chrysanthemum tea, and distributing questionnaires to determine participants understanding before and after the implementation of PPM activities. The results of the questionnaire showed that participants knowledge about the use of chrysanthemum as medicinal ingredients increased after participating in outreach activities, as well as the interest in chrysanthemum tea cultivation and entrepreneurship.

Dendrobium sp. subcultures with instant Vacin Went media against many concentrations of fruit waste liquid organic fertilizer plus

“…The nutrient composition of the media meets appropriate standards for the growth of orchid explants from subcultures [13]. Using the combination of benzyl amino purine (BAP) with organic matter extract on VW media, showed that the average time of emergence of the fastest shoots was 13.3 DAP (Days after planting) [14].…”

“…Exogenous growth regulators are given to provide balance against endogenous hormones in order to be able to influence physiological responses as a driver of cell division and elongation during bud multiplication and bud morphogenesis [14]. Found that the combination of benzyl amino purine (BAP) with organic matter extract on VW media in BAP treatment 3 ppm + tomato extract showed the highest average number of shoots of 14 pieces, and in BAP treatment 2 ppm + tomato extract showed the highest average shoot length of 2.06 cm.…”

The more shoots that appear, the greater the chance to get more orchid seeds [14].…”

“…Basically, bud induction is influenced by the use of ZPT, one of which is cytokinin. [14] Found that if the concentration of auxin is low, it will affect poor root growth due to high levels of cytokinin concentrations that can inhibit plant root growth [15].…”
