Abstract
The Residents of Dukuh Menanggal Village have planted family medicinal plants, including lemongrass. But people do not understand the use of lemongrass plants into environmentally friendly organic carbolic acid. The purpose of this Community Service (PkM) activity is to optimally use lemongrass as an organic carbolic acid in order to increase economic value and make people aware of the importance of disinfectants during a pandemic condition like the current one. The method used to achieve the objectives of this activity is community empowerment regarding the use of yard land for family medicine gardens and empowerment of optimal land use to preserve the environment and prevent environmental pollution and climate change. The implementation of the PkM program includes: site surveys, preparation of facilities and infrastructure, coordination with the sub-district government, procurement of tools and materials, counseling and training, monitoring and evaluation. The target group is PKK women. The results obtained before the community service activities were that the residents did not know how to make carbolic acid as much as 57.1 and did not know the function of carbolic acid as a natural disinfectant as many as 71.4. While the results obtained after the service was carried out, residents knew how to make carbolic acid as much as 71.4 and knew the function of carbolic lemongrass as much as 80.9. The response from residents regarding this service is very good. Residents of Dukuh Menanggal Village, Gayungan District, Surabaya have started to feel the results of environmentally friendly organic carbolic products that can be used daily.
