Hidroponik Wick System Sebagai Alternatif Budidaya Sayur-Sayuran di Wilayah Pesisir Desa Laikang Kabupaten Takalar

Abstract

Laikang village is the villages on the coast with a sandy and marginal soil environment, so it is not suitable for vegetable cultivation. The hydroponic wick system technology allows people in Laikang Village to be able to cultivate vegetables in their own yard. This community service aims to provide training on vegetable cultivation and how to make a hydroponic wick system by utilizing plastic bottle waste. This activity is carried out in 3 stages, namely the survey and socialization stage, the training stage, and the monitoring and evaluation stage. From the evaluation, there is an increase in the knowledge and skills of the participants regarding the theme of the activity. The evaluation results also showed that the implementation of this activity was in accordance with community expectations, with the level of satisfaction of training participants at 87%, participants' interest in the training theme at 89%, and the level of conformity with community expectations at 82%. The results of monitoring activities also show the continuity of cultivation activities that are still occupied by the people of Laikang Village to this day.

Application of smart indoor hydroponic technology to support food security

“…The solution offered to address the issue of land utilization in coastal areas is to utilize the available land for vegetable cultivation using a hydroponic system (Hidayat et al, 2023). Hydroponics is designed to be automated using sensors, making it easier for partners to provide nutrients.…”

Pelatihan Pemanfaatan Limbah Stryrofoam Sebagai Media Tanaman Hidroponik Sistem Wick

“…Sejumlah keunggulan dalam membudidayakan tanaman menggunakan sistem hidroponik melibatkan kemampuan untuk meningkatkan kepadatan tanaman dalam unit lahan sehingga menghasilkan efisiensi penggunaan lahan, mutu produk (termasuk bentuk, ukuran, rasa, warna, dan kebersihan) dapat dijamin karena nutrisi tanaman diatur secara terkontrol, tanaman yang dihasilkan bernutrisi dan higienis, tidak bergantung pada musim atau waktu penanaman dan panen sehingga dapat disesuaikan dengan permintaan pasar, serta mampu meningkatkan produktivitas tanaman (Hidayatullah et al, 2023;Waluyo et al, 2021). Untuk lingkup yang lebih terbatas seperti di rumah tangga, juga memungkinkan untuk menjalankan budidaya hidroponik dengan menggunakan barang-barang bekas (Hidayat et al, 2023). Terdapat beberapa jenis hidroponik yang dapat dilakukan oleh masyarakat, yaitu Wick, Deep Water Culture (DWC), EBB dan Flow (Flood & Drain), Drip (recovery atau non-recovery), Nutrient Film Technique (NFT), Aeroponik dan Aquaponik (Eddy et al, 2019;Permadi et al, 2020).…”
