Pemberdayaan Kelompok Tani Bangka Hulu melalui Pelatihan dan Pendampingan Pembuatan Biokompos dari Limbah Organik di Desa Sungai Rengas, Kabupaten Kubu Raya, Kalimantan Barat

Introduction

Pemberdayaan kelompok tani bangka hulu melalui pelatihan dan pendampingan pembuatan biokompos dari limbah organik di desa sungai rengas, kabupaten kubu raya, kalimantan barat. Pelatihan & pendampingan pembuatan biokompos dari limbah organik memberdayakan kelompok tani Bangka Hulu, Kubu Raya. Tingkatkan kesuburan tanah & kemandirian pupuk organik.

Abstract

Pemanfaatan lahan suboptimal oleh mitra kelompok tani terkendala oleh rendahnya kesuburan tanah, pH yang masam, serta potensi keracunan besi. Permasalahan utama adalah belum optimalnya pemanfaatan limbah pertanian sebagai sumber pupuk organik. Kegiatan ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan mitra dalam memproduksi dan menerapkan biokompos sebagai alternatif pupuk organik. Metode kegiatan meliputi penyuluhan, pelatihan pembuatan biokompos, penerapan biokompos pada tanaman sayuran, serta pendampingan dan evaluasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan peserta tentang pembuatan biokompos dari 50% menjadi 93,6%, diikuti kemampuan praktik yang lebih baik dan penerapan biokompos pada lahan budidaya. Dampak konkret yang dicapai adalah pemanfaatan limbah pertanian sebagai bahan baku pupuk organik meningkat, serta kemandirian mitra dalam memproduksi pupuk organik mulai terbentuk.

Review

The submitted work presents a highly relevant and timely initiative focused on empowering farmer groups in Bangka Hulu through training and mentorship in biocompost production. Addressing critical issues such as low soil fertility, acidic pH, and iron toxicity in suboptimal lands, the project tackles the underutilization of agricultural waste as a potential source of organic fertilizer. The overarching goal of enhancing knowledge and skills in producing and applying biocompost aligns perfectly with sustainable agricultural practices and local community development, promising a practical solution to persistent agricultural challenges in the region. The methodology employed is comprehensive and well-structured, encompassing awareness campaigns, practical biocompost training, application on vegetable crops, and ongoing mentoring and evaluation. The abstract clearly articulates measurable outcomes, such as a significant increase in participant knowledge regarding biocompost production, from an initial 50% to an impressive 93.6%. This quantitative improvement is complemented by qualitative observations of enhanced practical skills and the successful application of biocompost in cultivation areas. Crucially, the activity has demonstrably led to increased utilization of agricultural waste and fostered the beginnings of self-reliance among farmers in producing their own organic fertilizers. Overall, this is a strong example of community-based participatory research and extension, delivering tangible benefits and promoting sustainable practices at the grassroots level. The project effectively bridges the gap between scientific knowledge and practical application, empowering local farmers with valuable skills and resources. While the abstract focuses on immediate outcomes, the success presented here lays a solid foundation for future studies to assess the long-term impact on soil health, crop productivity, and the economic well-being of the farmer groups. This initiative serves as a commendable model for similar regions facing comparable agricultural and environmental constraints.
