Program Kemitraan Masyarakat Kelompok Pemanfaat Kotoran Hewan (Kohe) Dan Kelompok Petani Organik

Abstract

The Community Partnership Program (PKM) of Kohe Beneficiary Groups in Cibodas Village and Organic Farmers Group in Cisondari Village, Pasirjambu District, Bandung Regency, is a community service activity aimed at handling cow dung in Cibodas Village, which is currently quite abundant but it has not been well managed, so it has the potential to pollute the environment. The use of cohes uses vermicomposting technology, which results in the form of organic fertilizer known as vermicompost fertilizer. The purpose of this activity was also to introduce vermicomposting technology and familiarize the use of vermicompost fertilizer to organic farmer groups in Cisondari Village, which has been using untreated chicken dung, and the chicken foal is imported from the Tangerang area. The method of implementation includes, socialization and training, polling through questionnaires, vermicomposting demplot and organic farming, focus group discussions and village consultation meetings. The demonstration plot is a field school for kohe managers and organic farmers, so that participants can understand the entire process of the activity. Group discussions are conducted to discuss the results and equate perceptions for all participants in the process of making fertilizers and organic farming. Village consultation activities are intended to convey activities that have been carried out to village heads and community leaders, so that they are expected to have support. Through this activity, cow dung can be used by user groups to become vermicompost with quality that meets quality standards based on Minister of Agriculture Regulation No. 70 / Permentan / SR.140 / 10/2011, and the vermicompost and worm production activities take place so that farmers can provide organic fertilizer and provide additional income for the dung management community.Keywords: animal waste, vermicomposting, organic farming, demonstration plot�Program Kemitraan Masyarakat (PKM) Kelompok Pemanfaat Kohe di Desa Cibodas dan Kelompok Petani Organik di Desa Cisondari, Kecamatan Pasirjambu, Kabupaten Bandung, merupakan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang bertujuan menangani kotoran hewan (kohe) sapi� di Desa Cibodas, yang saat ini cukup melimpah jumlahnya namun belum terkelola dengan baik, sehingga berpotensi mencemari lingkungan.
