Edukasi Kesehatan Tanah pada Kelompok Tani melalui Pembuatan Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR)

Currently, inorganic fertilizers are still farmers' choice because they are considered more practical and quickly affect plant growth. However, using inorganic fertilizers in the long term will undoubtedly affect the health and quality of the soil. On the other hand, farmers are generally used to using inorganic inputs, causing dependence on chemical products, further increasing the decline in soil quality. A healthy level of soil quality needs to be maintained so that agricultural products can always be maintained and safe for human consumption. This community service activity aims to provide soil health education and farmers' knowledge of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) as a solution for maintaining soil quality and reducing the use of inorganic fertilizers. The activity results show that farmers are strongly motivated to maintain the quality and health of their soil. The PGPR product is still considered a new product that has never been implemented by the Mulyo farmer group in Gumukmas Village. Farmer group members have high enthusiasm for the PGPR products they make. The PGPR products made are expected to be able to increase production and reduce the effects of the use of inorganic fertilizers. Periodic assistance and application evaluation in the field needs to be carried out so that farmers understand the proper application technique.

The Role of Agricultural Extension Workers in the Development of Farmer Groups in Tanjung Riu Village, Kurun District, Gunung Mas Regency

Agricultural extension workers play a crucial role in developing farmer groups in Tanjung Riu Village, Kurun District, Gunung Mas Regency. This study aims to understand how agricultural extension workers contribute to the advancement of farmer groups in the area.

They also act as a link between farmer groups and markets, promoting collective marketing and raising awareness of the importance of agricultural diversification. Hence, agricultural extension workers hold a crucial role in the development of farmer groups in Tanjung Riu Village, contributing to increased agricultural production, strengthening local economic sustainability, and helping build the capacity and independence of farmers in facing modern challenges. In this context, the strengthening of roles and support for agricultural extension workers is expected to be further enhanced to support the growth and sustainability of the agricultural sector in rural areas
