Pemanfaatan limbah rumah tangga sebagai pupuk organik merupakan solusi yang mudah, murah dan efektif karena sangat besar manfaatnya dalam hal lingkungan, ketahanan pertanian/pangan dan sosial budaya yang berkelanjutan. Cabai (Capsicum annum L.) merupakan tanaman sayuran yang banyak digemari masyarakat, dan memiliki nilai ekonomis tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan  mengembangkan limbah rumah tangga (limbah sayuran dan buah) dan air kelapa yang berfungsi sebagai pupuk organik cair dan zat pengatur tumbuh dalam meningkatkan pertumbuhan tanaman cabai. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Jalan Ruruhi Lorong Sompu Andounohu Kota Kendari Sulawesi Tenggara, pada bulan Agustus sampai bulan November 2021.  Sejumlah 48 polybag bibit tanaman cabai dipelihara di dalam 4  petakan ukuran 1x1x1 m3 dengan 1 petakan terdapat 3 polybag selama 65 hari. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Kelompok, terdiri dari 4 perlakuan dengan 4 ulangan pada setiap percobaan. Perlakuan dosis pupuk cair limbah rumah tangga dan zpt air kelapa adalah P0 (0 ml/liter air), P1 (150 ml/liter air), P2 (200 ml/liter air), dan P3 (250 ml/liter air), Parameter yang diamati dalam penelitian ini meliputi tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, diameter batang, luas daun dan produksi. Data hasil pengamatan terhadap masing-masing variabel yang diamati dianalisis berdasarkan sidik ragam. Apabila dalam analisis ragam terdapat pengaruh nyata maka dilakukan dengan uji berganda Duncan (UJBD) pada taraf nyata α = 0,05. Dari hasil analisis data secara statistik diperoleh bahwa perlakuan POC limbah rumah tangga dan ZPT berpengaruh nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun dan luas daun. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan pertumbuhan tanaman yang baik. Hasil terbaik pada pertumbuhan tanaman cabai yaitu pada perlakuan P2 (200 ml/liter air)

Waste is a source of problems, if not managed properly it will cause environmental pollution, especially in residential settlements that live around landfills in Puuwatu District. The purpose of this community service activity is to reduce the pile of waste in the Puuwatu sub-district landfill through the application of the principle of zero waste, namely by processing organic solid waste into compost, leachate into a decomposer microorganism solution, and recycling inorganic waste for verticulture media. Activities undertaken to achieve the objectives of the Community Partnership Program (PKM) are through mass and group counseling to partners, training and plot demonstrations. Through these activities, partners who live around the landfill had been able to process organic solid waste, with the hope that the volume at the landfill will decrease, and the partner's income will increase. Partners who were actively involved in the activity had been able to produce compost (labeled Komsa-Mitra) that was ready to be commercialized, and are also able to process leachate as a source of decomposer microorganisms (labeled mollin) in the composting process. Partners around the Puuwatu landfill were also able to utilize waste plastic and rubber containers into a vegetable cultivation container with a verticulture system in the yard and the hervested vegetable was used to meet the family's nutritional needs.

Cultivation of medicinal plants in the garden system can meet the needs of increasing the immune system for the people of Jati Bali Village. The purpose of this community service activity is to provide knowledge to the community about the cultivation of medicinal plants and spices in the garden system as well as the manufacture of liquid organic fertilizer from household waste as an alternative to meeting the needs of increasing the immune system during a pandemic. Activities that have been carried out to achieve the objectives of the Internal Community Partnership Program (PKMI) are through mass and group outreach to partners, training, and plot demonstrations. Through this activity, partners in Jati Bali Village have been able to cultivate medicinal plants and spices in the dasa wisma garden system. Partners who are actively involved in the activity have been able to produce liquid organic fertilizer from household waste.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui respon berbagai sumber stek daun dan lama perendaman dengan rizobakteri terhadap pertumbuhan stek daun Peperomia turboensis. Penelitian menggunakan yaitu rancangan acak lengkap pola faktorial yang terdiri dari dua faktor. Faktor pertama yaitu stek daun, terdiri dari 3 taraf yaitu daun utuh (S1), ½ daun bagian pangkal (S2) dan ½ daun bagian ujung daun (S3), sementara faktor kedua yaitu lama perendaman stek, terdiri dari 4 taraf yaitu tanpa perendaman (B0), perendaman 4 jam (B1), perendaman 8 jam (B2) dan perendaman 12 jam (B3) dengan demikian diperoleh 12 kombinasi perlakuan. Setiap perlakuan diulang 3 kali sehingga diperoleh 36 unit percobaan. Variabel yang diamati meliputi lama munculnya tunas, persentasi tanaman hidup, persentasi tanaman mati dan jumlah tunas. Data hasil penelitian dianalisis menggunakan analisis ragam. Hasil analisis yang menunjukkan pengaruh nyata dilanjutkan dengan uji DMRT α=0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara mandiri stek daun utuh memberikan hasil terbaik kemudian diikuti bahan stek ½ daun bagian pangkal. Sementara berdasarkan lama perendaman dengan rizobakteri perlakuan dengan perendaman 4 dan 8 jam memberikan hasil terbaik bila dibandingkan dengan lama perendaman 12 jam dan tanpa perendaman. Untuk interaksi perlakuan terbaik diperoleh pada perlakuan S1B1 dan S2B2 dengan menghasilkan jumlah tunas terbanyak.

Brown rice (Oryza sativa) is a highly nutritious staple food that contains anthocyanins in addition to carbohydrates, fat, protein, fiber, and minerals. Anthocyanins serve as antioxidants, playing a crucial role in plant and human health. Efforts to improve rice production, particularly upland rice production, are always coupled with efforts to increase production of brown rice. The majority of brown rice is produced from upland rice. There has been no effort to manufacture brown rice before today. Therefore, efforts to expand upland rice production with native cultivars are inextricably linked to efforts to boost upland rice output of red rice. Upland rice is brown rice consumed without going through a grinding process or the process of removing the bran and bran from the endosperm of the rice. Rice is only ground into broken rice so that the husk is still attached to the endosperm and has high nutritional value. Strong body immunity and excellent health levels are needed. One of them is by consuming healthy food that is available locally and has become a daily food menu, it only needs to increase production and processing efforts so that it is always healthy. Upland brown rice can be planted as an intercrop to maximize land use for plantation crops, so it has the potential to be developed in Southeast Sulawesi because there is still a lot of unused land or land that has not been used optimally. Therefore, in the context of providing healthy food and functional food based on upland red rice, which farming families can reach, and close to the location of the farmers' livelihoods, it is necessary to increase brown rice production through the introduction of brown rice cultivation technology as a garden plant and also as a family medicinal plant.
