PELATIHAN PEMBUATAN ALAT EFFICIENT FERTILIZER PUMP SEBAGAI ALAT BANTU PEMUPUKAN TANAMAN SENGON

Abstract

Indonesia has abundant flora resources. One of these flora resources is the sengon plant. However, to produce plants that have good quality, quality care patterns are needed. One pattern of quality care is the application of fertilizer with the right dose and carried out consistently. Currently, the process of giving fertilizer to sengon plants is done traditionally by sprinkling fertilizer on plants so that the fertilizer dose is not evenly distributed. Based on these problems, it is necessary to train in the manufacture of tools for the fertilization process called an efficient fertilizer pump. This training is expected to increase production yields and welfare of sengon farmers. This training was attended by 20 participants from Panca Marga University students. Students as participants are expected to be able to implement the results of the training to the community in their respective environments as a form of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education. The results of the training participants were able to make tools according to predetermined specifications and were enthusiastic when participating in the event.
