Abstract

This extension activity aimed to help Farmer Group partner of the "Sumber Hidup" in Sigerongan Village to increased the productivity of narrow land through the application of intercropping technology between okra crop and peanut genotypes. The program that implemented were the application of science and technology with stages of activities, namely: 1) dissemination activities "optimization of productivity of narrow land through the application of intercropping okra and peanuts and the application of technology to increased production of okra and peanut”.
