Kelompok Tani Ukil Ngemil di Kecamatan Jekan Raya merupakan kelompok tani dari 2 (dua) kelompok yaitu kelompok sayur mayur dan kelompok ternak. Kelompok tani ini dibentuk dengan tujuan untuk pemberdayaan masyarakat dalam mengelola lahan pekarangan dengan tanaman sayur mayur dan ternak untuk menghasilkan produk pertanian dan peternakan guna memenuhi kebutuhan hidup harian maupun untuk dijual sehingga dapat meningkatkan pendapatan bagi anggota  kelompok tani tersebut. Adanya pandemi virus corona saat ini, mengakibatkan mereka harus mengurangi aktivitas keluar rumah untuk bekerja. Tujuan dilaksanakannya pengabdian kepada masyarakat yaitu meningkatkan pengetahuan, wawasan dan ketrampilan anggota kelompok tani dalam pemanfaatan lahan pekarangan serta teknik budidaya tanaman, agar pemanfaatan lahan pekarangan dapat dilakukan secara optimal. Metode pengabdian adalah melalui pelatihan dan penyuluhan (ceramah, diskusi dan tanya jawab) dari narasumber yang berpengalaman di bidang  budidaya tanaman pangan untuk pemanfaatan lahan pekarangan (teknik pengolahan tanah, penyemaian bibit dan penanaman) serta   melakukan demonstrasi plot (Demplot).  Waktu pengabdian  dilaksanakan mulai bulan Agustus sampai dengan Nopember 2021. Hasil dari pendampingan yang dilakukan yaitu terbentuknya sikap, perilaku dan kebiasaan baik untuk memanfaatkan lahan pekarangan dengan menanam tanaman pangan, menghasilkan produk sayuran (mentimun, terong dan kacang panjang) serta mendapatkan keuntungan dari penjualan sayuran. Mentimun rata-rata Rp 2.240.000, terong rata-rata Rp 2.400.000,- dan kacang panjang rata-rata Rp 3.200.000,- dalam 1(satu)  kali tanam. Ukil Ngemil Farmer Group in Jekan Raya Subdistrict is a farming group of 2 groups, namely vegetable groups and livestock groups. This farming group was formed with the aim of empowering the community in managing yard land with vegetable crops and livestock to produce agricultural and livestock products to meet daily living needs and for sale so as to increase income for members of the farming group. The existence of the current coronavirus pandemic, resulting in them having to reduce outdoor activities to work. The purpose of Community Service is to improve the knowledge, insight and skills of farmers group members in the use of yard land and plant cultivation techniques, so that the use of yard land can be done optimally. The method of empowerment assistance carried out is through Training / Extension from Sources who are experienced in the field of food crop cultivation for the use of yard land (soil processing techniques, seedling and planting) and conducting plot demonstrations (Demplot). The result of mentoring is the formation of good habits to utilize yard land by growing food crops, producing vegetable products (cucumbers, eggplants and long beans) and benefiting from the sale of vegetables. Cucumbers average Rp 2,240,000, eggplants average Rp 2,400,000, - and long beans average Rp 3,200,000, - in 1 (one) planting.

The purpose of this study was to examine changes in the physical and chemical properties of natural peat forests and peatlands designated for oil palm plantations at various ages of oil palm planting. The research was carried out in 4 (four) locations in East Kotawaringin Regency, namely: (1) Natural peat swamp forest in Kota Besi District (2) Peat land designated for oil palm plantations planting age less than 4 years in Parenggean District; (3) Peat land designated for oil palm plantations with a planting age of 4-10 years in Cempaga District; and (4) peat land designated for oil palm plantations with a planting age of more than 10 years in Mentawa Baru District, Ketapang. The results showed that the peat land designated for oil palm plantations caused changes in the physical and chemical properties of the peat soil. Changes in the physical properties of peat soil are indicated by the color of the peat soil which changes from very dull red in natural peat forests to reddish black in oil palm plantations. Peat maturity changes from fibric in natural peat forest to hemic and sapric on peatland designated for oil palm plantations. The water content has decreased significantly, the older the age of the oil palm plant, the water content will decrease. In terms of bulk density, the older the age of oil palm plantations, the higher the density of peat soils. The water level in oil palm plantations has increased when compared to natural peat forests. Changes in chemical properties were indicated by an increase in peat soil pH, total N, and available P, while a decrease occurred in the C-Organic content. An increase also occurred in the content of K-dd, Ca-dd, Mg-dd, Na-dd, and CEC with increasing age of oil palm plants. When viewed from the relationship pattern of each physical characteristic, water content has a positive relationship with fiber content, the higher the water content will be followed by the higher fiber content or vice versa. Bulk density has a negative relationship with fiber content and moisture content, which means that an increase in the bulk density of peat soil will be followed by a decrease in fiber content and moisture content. The relationship pattern of chemical properties shows that the pH (H2O) of peat soil has a positive relationship with organic C, total N, available P, and Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). High or low peat acidity will be proportional to the high or low -organic, N-total, P-available, and Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC).

Seed gardens are one way to obtain quality seeds. Seed gardens are areas where certainplants are planted to produce seeds of superior genetic origin. The seed garden of TheUniversity of Palangkaraya in maintaining red meranti (Shorea leprosula Miq) plantsencountered several obstacles, one of which was pests and diseases. Identification of pestand disease attacks is basically the beginning to find out a plant needs special care orattention to improve the quality of the plant itself. This study aims to identify anddetermine the intensity of pest and disease attacks on red meranti (Shorea leprosula Miq)in the seed garden area of The University of Palangka Raya. Collecting data using thecircle plot method, a systematic random sampling technique. Based on the research, it wasfound that the types of pests and diseases that attack red meranti are fire caterpillar(Setothosea asigna), beetle (Mecynorrhina sp), leaf spot (Curvularia sp and Nigrosporasp). The frequency of pest attack is 7.52% and the intensity of attack is 0.75%, with acombination frequency of 1.50% and an attack intensity of 0.45%.Keywords: identification, pests, diseases, seed garden

Masyarakat yang tinggal di sekitar hutan, pada umumnya sangat bergantung pada hasil hutan, baik itu hasil hutan berupa kayu maupun hasil hutan yang bukan berupa kayu. Kebutuhan masyarakat akan hasil hutan khususnya hasil hutan non kayu seperti damar, kemenyan, jamur, madu hutan serta produk lainnya akan semakin berkurang dengan beralihnya fungsi lahan hutan. Jamur merupakan salah satu produk hasil hutan non kayu yang paling disukai karena dapat dicari dengan mudah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui jenis-jenis jamur Basidiomycetes serta untuk mengetahui jenis jamur pangan dan jamur obat yang ada di kawasan penelitian Punggualas Taman Nasional Sebangau. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah dengan metode eksplorasi dan identifikasi dengan membuat plot  ukuran 150 m x 100 m dengan jalur pengamatan jamur sebanyak 5 jalur, jarak antar jalur adalah 5 m dan lebar jalur 20 m.
