APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY IN ORGANIC FERTILIZER PROCESSING IN SAMBI VILLAGE, SRAGEN REGENCY

Introduction

Application of technology in organic fertilizer processing in sambi village, sragen regency. Technology for organic fertilizer production from livestock waste in Sambi Village, Sragen. Enhances soil fertility, cuts chemical use, and boosts local farmer income.

Abstract

The livestock waste in Sambi village has not been utilized for organic fertilizer. In fact, the number of livestock farmers is increasing every year, which has an impact on increasing waste. The purpose of this activity is to provide training and practice in making solid organic fertilizer from livestock waste in Sambi Village, Sambirejo District, Sragen Regency. Organic fertilizer is a form of fertilizer that comes from organic materials, such as animal waste, rotting plant residues, and other natural sources. Making organic fertilizer has the advantage of increasing community income and optimal use of organic fertilizer can improve soil fertility due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers. The majority of Sambi villagers have livestock and also cultivate agricultural crops. Waste has not been utilized for solid organic fertilizer and is still completely dependent on chemical fertilizers that cause physical damage to the soil, besides being expensive and rare. This program provides a package of solid organic fertilizer processing technology so that farmer groups can produce independently. In achieving the success of the program, socialization, training and mentoring have been carried out periodically. The production of organic fertilizer is expected to increase soil fertility and can be sold to increase community income

Review

This paper, titled "APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY IN ORGANIC FERTILIZER PROCESSING IN SAMBI VILLAGE, SRAGEN REGENCY," addresses a highly relevant and pressing issue concerning sustainable agricultural practices and waste management in rural communities. The abstract effectively highlights a significant problem: the underutilization of livestock waste in Sambi village, leading to environmental concerns and an over-reliance on chemical fertilizers which cause soil degradation. The initiative to introduce training and practical application of technology for solid organic fertilizer processing is a commendable and direct response to these challenges, aligning well with current global efforts towards ecological sustainability and rural development. The proposed program outlines a clear approach, focusing on empowering local farmer groups through a package of organic fertilizer processing technology. The abstract specifies the target beneficiaries—the majority of Sambi villagers who possess livestock and engage in agriculture—and details the programmatic steps, including socialization, periodic training, and mentoring. The anticipated benefits are well-articulated, projecting both economic upliftment through increased community income from fertilizer sales and environmental improvements via enhanced soil fertility and reduced dependency on costly and harmful chemical alternatives. This community-centric strategy to transform waste into a valuable resource holds substantial promise for improving livelihoods and ecological health. While the abstract clearly defines the problem and the proposed intervention, it functions primarily as a statement of intent and activity rather than a presentation of results. As a review of a future full paper, it would be crucial to see concrete evidence of the "application of technology." This would include specific details on the type of technology introduced, the scale of organic fertilizer production, the level of adoption by farmer groups, and, most importantly, measurable impacts on soil fertility and community income. Future publications stemming from this work should focus on providing empirical data and analysis to substantiate the claims of increased soil fertility and economic benefits, thereby demonstrating the tangible success and sustainability of the program beyond its implementation phase.
