PELATIHAN PEMBUATAN PESTISIDA NABATI DI DESA BUNUTIN, KECAMATAN BANGLI, KABUPATEN BANGLI
Program pelatihan pembuatan pestisida nabati di Desa Bunutin, Kecamatan Bangli, Kabupaten Bangli diselenggarakan sebagai langkah strategis guna memperkuat wawasan dan kemampuan petani dalam pengendalian hama padi dengan pendekatan berwawasan lingkungan dan berkesinambungan. Latar belakang kegiatan ini adalah masih tingginya ketergantungan petani terhadap pestisida kimia yang berbiaya mahal dan berdampak negatif pada ekosistem sawah, sementara sumber daya alam lokal yang berpotensi sebagai bahan pestisida alami belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Kegiatan dilaksanakan selama sepuluh bulan, dimulai dari tahap persiapan berupa studi literatur, perizinan, dan penyediaan alat-bahan, dilanjutkan dengan tahap pelaksanaan berupa sosialisasi, pendampingan, serta praktik langsung pembuatan pestisida nabati menggunakan bahan lokal contohnya daun pepaya, sirih, serta sirsak. Bahan-bahan tersebut dipilih karena memuat senyawa bioaktif acetogenin, tanin, eugenol, papain, serta alkaloid yang terbukti efektif menghambat aktivitas makan, pertumbuhan, maupun reproduksi hama utama padi (Penggerek batang, walang sangit, ulat grayak, dan wereng). Melalui pre-test dan post-test, evaluasi program memperlihatkan peningkatan nyata pada aspek pengetahuan dan keterampilan petani; pengetahuan peserta meningkat dari kategori kurang paham menjadi cukup hingga sangat paham, sementara keterampilan praktik meningkat dari 23% kurang baik menjadi 78% sangat baik. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa peserta mampu membuat dan menerapkan pestisida nabati secara mandiri di lahan pertanian mereka. Pelaksanaan program memberikan manfaat ganda, yakni mengurangi ketergantungan pada pestisida kimia, menekan biaya produksi, menjaga keseimbangan lingkungan, dan mendorong replikasi di kelompok tani lain demi ketahanan pangan serta pertanian berkelanjutan di wilayah lokal.
PERMBERDAYAAN MASYARAKAT LOKAL MELALUI PELATIHAN EKOWISATA BERBASIS GREEN TOURISM DALAM MENDUKUNG PARIWISATA BERKELANJUTAN DI KEK MANDALIKA
Kawasan Ekonomi Khusus (KEK) Mandalika merupakan salah satu destinasi super prioritas nasional yang dikembangkan untuk mendukung pertumbuhan ekonomi dan pariwisata berkelanjutan. Namun, percepatan pembangunan kawasan ini menghadapi tantangan berupa degradasi lingkungan, komersialisasi budaya, dan keterpinggiran masyarakat lokal. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk memberdayakan masyarakat melalui pelatihan ekowisata berbasis green tourism dengan pendekatan Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) dan Community Based Tourism (CBT). Metode pelaksanaan meliputi observasi dan identifikasi potensi lokal, penyusunan modul pelatihan, praktik lapangan, pembentukan kelembagaan Pokdarwis, serta evaluasi berbasis hasil. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan peserta sebesar 50–70% terkait konsep ekowisata, konservasi lingkungan, dan pelayanan wisata berbasis komunitas. Selain itu, terbentuk kelembagaan Pokdarwis Mandalika Green Community dengan struktur organisasi sederhana dan rencana kerja awal berbasis konservasi. Temuan ini sejalan dengan penelitian terdahulu mengenai efektivitas PRA dan CBT, namun novelty kegiatan ini terletak pada integrasi kedua pendekatan dalam pelatihan ekowisata berbasis green tourism. Kegiatan ini memberikan kontribusi nyata dalam memperkuat kapasitas masyarakat lokal sekaligus menghasilkan model pemberdayaan yang dapat direplikasi di destinasi super prioritas lainnya di Indonesia.
DESIMINASI DAN PELATIHAN MANAJEMEN TEKNOLOGI REPRODUKSI SAPI POTONG DALAM UPAYA AKSELERASI ANGKA KEBUNTINGAN DAN KELAHIRAN PADA KELOMPOK TANI TERNAK PADAIDI DI DESA TANETE, KECAMATAN MARITENGNGAE, KABUPATEN SIDENRENG RAPPANG
This community service activity aimed to increase the pregnancy and birth rates of beef cattle through dissemination and training on reproductive technology management for the Padaidi Livestock Farmer Group in Tanete Village, Maritengngae District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency. The main issues faced by the partners included low pregnancy rates (25–40%) and limited knowledge among farmers regarding reproductive management and disorders such as postpartum anestrus, repeat breeder, silent heat, and abortion. The activity was carried out in several stages: preparation, training, mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation. The training covered topics such as mating management, reproductive performance recording, and the identification and prevention of reproductive disorders. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test methods to measure participants' improvement in understanding. The results showed a significant increase in farmers' comprehension of the materials presented, including mating management, handling of cows and calves, and reproductive disorders. The active participation of farmers throughout the program demonstrated strong enthusiasm and commitment to applying the knowledge gained. This initiative is expected to enhance the productivity of smallholder cattle farming and serve as a foundation for the development of sustainable mentoring programs between universities and local communities.
PENINGKATAN KOMPETENSI GURU MELALUI EDUKASI DAN PENDAMPINGAN PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA AJAR BERBASIS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Teaching media serve as one of the tools or methods used in the teaching and learning process. They function not only as aids for teachers in delivering material but also as means to enhance students’ active engagement, accommodate diverse learning styles, and create an enjoyable and interactive learning environment. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has developed rapidly and is increasingly being applied in the field of education, including in the development of instructional media. The purpose of this activity is to improve teachers’ competence in developing instructional media by utilizing AI technology. The method used was a participatory approach, aimed at enabling partners to be actively involved in every stage of the activity through training sessions and hands-on practice in developing AI-based teaching materials. The program facilitated practical sessions for creating instructional media, along with mentoring and technical guidance to help participants refine and further develop their teaching materials. Teachers’ competence in developing AI-based instructional materials was measured using a Likert scale (1–5) survey administered before and after the training. The results showed a significant improvement in teachers’ competence, with the percentage of those who “understood” increasing from 40% to 93.33% in the “highly understood” category. This represents a 53.33% increase in teacher competence, indicating that teachers have developed strong skills in utilizing AI-based instructional media and have gained greater awareness of the importance of enhancing their technological competence to improve the quality of learning.
