PEMANFAATAN TUMBUHAN BAMBU SEBAGAI MEDIA HI-DROPONIK DI KELURAHAN TINGGAR

Abstract

Bamboo is a highly beneficial plant for the economic life of the community. Traditionally, bamboo is generally utilized for various purposes such as household tools, crafts, and food materials. Training on the benefits of bamboo as a medium for hydroponic cultivation is considered an alternative in the open learning process. The aim of this Community Service (PKM) activity is to provide understanding to the PKK mothers and farmer groups (POKTAN) of Tinggar Village, Curug District, Serang City, Banten Province, on how to grow plants using a hydroponic system with bamboo media. This allows the community to obtain healthy and economical food without needing to shop outside the home by using bamboo growing media that they can source from their own garden. The training was conducted online at the home veranda of the PKK chairperson of Tinggar Village, Curug District, Serang City. The method used in this training was ABCD appproach. The results of this activity show that the attendees, despite having minimal initial knowledge about hydroponic cultivation, displayed interest and intent to apply hydroponic practices at home, as reflected in their questions about the necessary equipment and nutrients used. This activity is considered to have a positive impact on the community, helping them understand how to grow plants using a hydroponic system.
