Inovasi Ember Kompos untuk Menghasilkan Pupuk Organik Dalam Menunjang Pertanian Maju dan Berkelanjutan di Desa Aik Prapa, Lombok Timur

Abstrak

The composter bucket used to be an alternative that could be applied in Aik Prapa Village, Aikmel District, East Lombok to produce organic fertilizer as well as an alternative solution to the problem of environmental pollution and limited fertilizers. The process of making organic fertilizer using a composter bucket was an innovation based on the fermentation process of organic matter. The fermentation process in the composter bucket has produced solid and liquid organic fertilizer or Pupuk Organik Cair (POC).  Solid and liquid organic fertilizers contain nutrients needed by plants. Provision of solid and liquid organic fertilizers on agricultural land can increase soil fertility. This community service activity aims to improve the community's ability to prevent environmental pollution and produce organic fertilizer independently. The method used to realize this program was socialization and the practice of making composter buckets. Socialization was carried out in the form of counseling and distribution of leaflets (brochures). While the practice of making composter buckets was carried out independently by participants accompanied by supervisors. The targets of this activity were members of the Family Welfare Development or Pembinaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK), youth organizations and representatives of several farmer groups in Aik Prapa Village. The success of this activity was indicated by the high level of enthusiasm of the participants during counseling, discussion and practice activities, the increased skill of the participants to make composter buckets, and the high desire of the participants to implement composter buckets in their own home.
