However, giving excessive doses will actually cause symptoms of wilting in plants.…”

Therefore this community service aims to; (1) to increase the farmer's motivation to make liquid organic fertilizer from the fake banana stem, (2) to improve the farmer's knowledge and skills about liquid organic fertilizer from the fake banana stem, and (3) to encourage the farmers to use liquid organic fertilizer from the fake banana stem, to reduce the use of inorganic fertilizer. In order to achieve this objective, the method used is counselling, practice, monitoring and evaluation. The results achieved show that community service activities are going well, and the community is eager to participate in the training and has a high desire to continue making POC, as seen from the activities of making POC which are carried out again by farmers. Farmers' knowledge increased about the understanding, advantages, disadvantages, benefits of POC and dexterity in making and using POC from fake banana stalks above 70%. The community implements the use of POC on peppers and tomatoes, thereby minimizing the use of inorganic fertilizers. In addition, POC can be marketed, thereby increasing farmers' income.
