This study aims to determine the extent of farmers' response to work effectiveness in managing rice farming in technical irrigated land. This research was carried out in the village of Carawali, Watang Pulu Sub-District, Sidenreng Rappang District. The population in this study were paddy farmers in the village of Carawali, Watang Pulu Subdistrict, 311 people in Sidenreng Rappang District. Sampling is done by incidental sampling technique. The types and sources of data used are primary data and secondary data. Data are described with variables in the study consisting of adaptability, work performance, job satisfaction and farmer's work effectiveness with the average value of each respondent's answer. Farmer's response to work effectiveness has an average value of 3.68. The variable adaptability (X1) obtained an average value of respondents' responses of 3.47. For variebal work performance (X2) obtained an average value of 3.62, while the average response of farmers to the variable job satisfaction (X3) obtained a value of 3.51. The ability to self-adjust coefficient (X1) is -0.278, Work Performance (X2) is 1.148, and farmer's job satisfaction (X3) is 0.072. The ability to adapt, work performance, and job satisfaction in Carawali Village, Watang Pulu Subdistrict, Sidenreng Rappang District is in a good category. Adapting ability is negative and signifies a relationship that is opposed to the effectiveness of the farmer's work. Work performance and farmer's job satisfaction are positive and indicate a unidirectional relationship to the work effectiveness of farmers. The variables in the study gave a correlation of 78.3%, this means there are still 21.7% of other variables that affect the effectiveness of farmer performance. Further research is needed on other variables that affect the performance of rice farmers in technical irrigated land. Keywords: adaptability, job satisfaction, Work Effectiveness, work performance.

Desa Batu Mila di Kecamatan Maiwa merupakan salah satu daerah penghasil jagung di Sulawesi Selatan. Untuk meningkatkan pendapatan, petani membudidayakan ternak kambing yang dikelola secara tradisional. Hal tersebut mengakibatkan banyaknya limbah dari kotoran ternak yang terbengkalai di sekitar kandang. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk memberdayakan masyarakat agar dapat mengoptimalkan limbah berupa kotoran ternak menjadi pupuk organik yang bernilai ekonomi. Mitra kegiatan ini adalah Kelompok Tani Sikamaseang dan Kelompok Wanita Tani Dasawisma. Pengabdian dilaksanakan dengan metode penyuluhan dan pelatihan. Hasil pelatihan diharapkan dapat membangun kesadaran para petani untuk memanfaatkan kotoran ternak menjadi sumber pupuk organik yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk menggantikan pupuk anorganik. Wawasan petani tentang pentingnya menjaga lingkungan diharapkan akan bertambah seiring meningkatnya pengetahuan mereka dalam memanfaatkan sumber daya alam menjadi pupuk organik.

Rot fungi has the ability to degrade components of lignocellulosic which difficult to decompose. Rot fungi degrades components of cellulosic to get the nutrients and excrete the lignocellulosic enzyme. The study aims to examine the ability of rot fungi from decayed cocoa plant to grow on carbon compounds and produce the cellulosic enzyme. The capability of producing the enzyme performed by growing a piece of rot fungi isolates on Czapek Dox Agar media added Remazol dyes Briliant Blue 0.1%. The media was divided into 5 parts and each added one type of substrate lignocellulose: lignin, cellulose, pectin, amylose, and chitin as much as 0.1%. The formation of a clear zone around isolates indicative of enzyme activity. Scoring by measuring the magnitude of the clear zone formed in comparison to the area of petri dish. The results showed there were 9 kinds of rot fungi found in cocoa, namely Mycena sp, Lycoperdon sp, Auricularia sp, Schizophyllum sp, Coprinus sp, Tremella sp, Crepidotus sp, Tremetes sp, dan Pleurotus sp. Tremella sp has the highest ability to produce enzyme ligninase, kitinase, and pectinase, than all other isolates. Lycoperdon sp produces the highest cellulose enzyme, while the highest amylase founded on Pleurotus sp, Tremella sp, Schizophyllum sp, and .Crepidotus sp..
