Budidaya tanaman padi merupakan salah satu pekerjaan utama bagi masyarakat di Desa Kuluran, Kalitengah, Lamongan. Petani di Desa Kuluran dalam melakukan usaha pertaniannya sering berhadapan dengan adanya serangan hama yang menjadi faktor pembatas dalam meningkatkan produksi padi. Petani mengaplikasikan pestisida kimia sebagai tindakan pencegahan dan pengendalian hama yang menyerang tanaman padi. Program pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pemahaman kepada petani tentang bahaya pengaplikasian pestisida terus menerus dan memberikan solusinya berupa cara pemanfaatan tanaman refugia sebagai mikrohabitat musuh alami di ekosistem sawah. Program pengabdian terdiri dari 4 tahapan yaitu sosialisasi dan penyuluhan; 1) sosialisasi dan penyuluhan; 2) pendampingan penanaman tanaman refugia; 3) pengamatan kelimpahan musuh alami; dan 4) evaluasi kegiatan pengabdian. Kegiatan penanaman tanaman refugia dilakukan secara demonstration plotting di lahan salah satu peserta. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah kesadaran petani akan bahaya pengaplikasian pestisida kimia secara terus menerus dan meningkatnya pemahaman petani tentang pemanfaatan tanaman refugia di sawah. Hasil pengamatan yang telah dilakukan didapatkan 2 jenis serangga yaitu Collembola dan Branconidae yang berada di sekitar tanaman refugia. Tim pengabdian masyarakat telah menyusun modul dan melakukan koordinasi dengan ketua gabungan kelompok tani untuk mendukung keberlanjutan program. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa proses kegiatan telah berjalan baik dan petani akan menanam tanaman refugia di lahannya masing-masing pada musim tanam mendatang.

Rice is basic neet for Indonesia people. East Java experienced decrease rice production 2% in 2014, the problem was insect pest. Insecticides are dangerous that replaced use refugia attracting biological agens. Purpose of the research to discover the role of refugia as conservation medium in suppressing pets attacks and increasing the diversity arthropod populations in rice fields.  This study uses a direct insect sampling method and uses traps such as sweep nets, yellow traps, pitfall traps and light traps. Identification of insects using an introduction to the study insect and iNaturalist. Analysis of the observational data quantitatively by calculating the species diversity index (H’), evenness index (E), Richness index (R) and dominance index (C) then tabulated using excel. observations indicate the number of insects found on land A (rice with refugia) was 5661 individuals consisting of 12 ordo, 61 family and 94 species. Meanwhile on land B (rice without refugia) was 3,198 individuals consisting of 11 ordo, 43 family and 56 species. Refugia affected the population of biological agens more on land A was 2707 individuals than on land B was 1215 individuals. While the pest population on land A much less as 364 individuals than on land B as 763 individuals. Tabulation from the calculation of the species diversity index as 0.142 and 0.118, the species evenness index as 0.030  and 0.025, the dominance index of 0.0004 and 0.0013 is classified as low, while the species richness index of 10.76 and 6.82 is classified as high.

The volume of waste or residual materials arising from human fulfillment increases annually in line with the growth of the human population. The potential of household units to manage organic waste has the potential to minimize food waste and other forms of organic waste. Utilizing organic waste as a raw material for composting is an option for handling organic waste from households. This community service project aims to demonstrate to the community how to make liquid organic fertilizer and raise public awareness of the advantages of managing household waste. Training combined with direct demonstrations via interactive learning covering household waste sorting and composting techniques was performed. This event was attended by 25 community household representatives from Panjunan Village, Sukodono, Sidoarjo. The demonstration method that was used was thought to be effective because the community was interested and came up with new ways to use empty land as a follow-up after creating liquid organic fertilizer on its own

Covid-19 has been declared as pandemic and has spread in 216 countries around the world. WHO’s distribution data obtained on May 31, 2020 that there were 5,891,182 positive cases of Covid-19 in the world with 365,966 deaths. The condition in Indonesia is classified as serious as well, which  25,773 positive cases with 1,573 deaths. Covid-19 has the potential to attack humans with poor immunity, so that a healthy lifestyle plays a role in increasing endurance, such as eating healthy food like probiotics. One of the media that can be used to grow probiotics is pinneapple peel. The community service partner was PKK RT. 06/RW.03 Rungkut Barata residents, the majority of whom are middle aged and elderly. This age is classified as vulnerable to being exposed to Covid-19, so in this acrivity we plan to carry out activity related to probiotics by utillizing pineapple skin waste. Futhermore, the location of the partners is strategic because near the market and sorrounded by several pineapple sellers.  The method activity was preparation and coordination with the partner, then continues with conselling and training on making probiotic product. The output was probiotic product, training moduls and documentation.
