Land yard can still be used optimally to fulfill family nutrition. For the people of Daya Makmur Village, plant cultivation in the yard is a common thing that has been done for a long time. But over time, there was a change in habits in rural communities, where they began to leave the activity of growing vegetables in their yards. In fact, most of the yard was left empty and overgrown with grass. The purpose of this service activity is to regenerate public interest and awareness in cultivating vegetables in the yard to meet family nutrition. The method of activities carried out is survey, counseling and discussion. From the results of the activities that have been carried out, it is concluded that the people of Daya Makmur Village already know the techniques of cultivating vegetable crops and the community is motivated again to plant vegetables in their yards.
During a pandemic like today, it takes a lot of effort so that the body can avoid the virus. One of the efforts made by the community is consuming processed medicinal plants. The results of the study stated that as many as 48% of people felt it was very relevant to consume herbal medicine. Family medicinal plants (TOGA) are one of the ingredients for making herbal medicine and can be cultivated by every resident of Pati Kidul. The purpose of this community service is to convey information about technology for growing medicinal plants in the yard through lectures, discussions, and direct practical demonstrations. Evaluation of the increase in participants' knowledge was carried out by pre and post-test after socialization and cultivation practice were carried out. Skill evaluation is carried out during a demonstration of direct practice of TOGA cultivation in the yard. The results of the activity showed an increase in knowledge and awareness in utilizing the yard for the cultivation of family medicinal plants. Public knowledge has increased public knowledge by about sixty percent. The results of the cultivation of family medicinal plants can be used as education for family members to be consumed as an action to maintain a healthy body.
Corn production can be increased by proper urea fertilizers. Fertilization techniques commonly used by farmers are broadcast or buried into soil. But in both of these techniques can make to lose urea faster, because nature of urea is easily changed to ammonium (NH4+), then changed to ammonia (NH3) which leads to volatilization or leaching. This study aims to compare urea fertilization techniques commonly used by farmers and their effects on the growth and yield of corn in Vertisol on rainy season. The research method used was a single factor in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four blocks as replications. The treatments were without urea (N1), buried urea into soil (N2), and broadcast of urea (N3), with a urea dose of 348 kg/ha obtained from soil sampling analysis. The observation of parameters (1) Climatic condition, (2) physical and chemical characters of soil, (3) Plant height, (4) Effect N fertilization on root and shoot, (5) Chlorophyll content and nitrate reductase activity, (6) observations of harvested. The data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at 5% levels, and continued Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at test level of 5%. The results showed that fertilization affecteds all parameters. Buried into soil (N2) and broadcast (N3) technique was significantly different only in leaf N content that is 3,31% (N2), 2,16% (N3) and also in higher plant, but not significantly different in other variables. Based on this research, farmers still use broadcast techniques because they are more efficient in terms of time and energy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
