Abstrak
Community service aims to enhance knowledge and mastery of organic moringa cultivation technology faced by the community group of RT 03 in Gunung Jati Village, Kendari City. Moringa is a miraculous plant that has various health benefits, from its leaves, fruits, and seeds. The community in Gunung Jati Village has utilized moringa for generations, thus it needs to be developed as a priority type; however, it is still constrained by its cultivation technology. Solutions that can be implemented to address the existing problems include an approach of Extension and Technical Guidance on moringa seedling production carried out through a Knowledge Transfer method. The activities to be conducted include counseling and technical guidance on moringa seed production starting from seed procurement, seed germination, weaning, and maintenance of seedlings at the seedling scale. The ultimate goal is to increase knowledge and mastery of seedling technology; in addition, the community can sell their moringa seedlings, thereby increasing the economic income of the community. This community service activity can support the implementation of the Merdeka Campus Merdeka Learning program for students, thus becoming a part of direct learning for students in the community
