Successful vegetable cultivation still relies heavily on the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The high frequency of pesticide spraying by farmers has resulted in increased contamination of vegetable products with toxic chemicals. Various types of vegetables currently available have been shown to contain high levels of pesticide residues. Several attempts have been made to reduce pesticide residues in their produce, but farmers ultimately revert to traditional cultivation methods due to the relatively expensive and unsustainable technology. Therefore, through this Community Partnership Program, we can help provide solutions to various problems encountered in the target area. The strategic solution to address these issues is through the introduction of more environmentally friendly technology and a comprehensive problem-solving approach. The technology implemented in this Community Partnership Program activity is the application of Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) using kitchen/household waste, which also acts as a biological control for plant pests and diseases. The results of the program activities show that the Dasa Wisma Group community in Tanjung Tiram Village, North Moramo District, South Konawe Regency and the surrounding community at the service location are very enthusiastic and actively participate in the extension and mentoring activities for household waste processing in the manufacture of LOF and the cultivation of horticultural plants provided. Target participants and the local community expect the willingness of the community service team to provide advanced technical guidance on organic horticultural plant development technology that has higher economic value to meet the needs of the community in general.
