Mitigasi Perubahan Iklim pada Budidaya Tanaman Cabe Besar di Desa Lalombonda Kecamatan Amonggedo Kabupaten Konawe

Abstrak

Farmers in Lalombonda Village often face low chili productivity due to suboptimal water and soil management. Rapid soil drying and inefficient irrigation systems lead to reduced yields and increased production costs. This community service project aims to assist farmers in improving chili productivity through the application of organic mulch and sprinkler irrigation systems. The methods used include socialization, technical training, and assistance in implementing the technology among farmer groups. Organic mulch was applied to maintain soil moisture and reduce water evaporation, while sprinklers were used to distribute water evenly and efficiently. The results of the project showed that farmers in Lalombonda Village were enthusiastic about participating in the training, understood the concepts, and were ready to implement organic mulch and sprinkler irrigation technology on their chili crops. This method has a significant impact on increasing water-use efficiency, reducing production costs, and improving chili yields. The direct impact on farmers includes increased average income per growing season, reduced labor associated with manual irrigation, and enhanced knowledge of modern agricultural technologies. This community service project is expected to provide a sustainable solution to improve the welfare of farmers in Lalombonda Village and surrounding areas.
