More than half of the population of Seputih Village are farmers. The leading agricultural commodities most widely cultivated by farmers in Seputih Village are rice, corn, and tobacco. Currently, farmers frequently face problems related to the scarcity and high prices of inorganic fertilizers. This condition has a direct impact on the decline in crop production yields. The Community Service program was carried out by strengthening farmers’ knowledge regarding Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) enriched with Local Microorganisms (LMOs) as an alternative to reduce dependence on inorganic fertilizers. The activity was conducted through a socialization program involving 17 participating farmers, with the aim of increasing knowledge about LOF and raising awareness of sustainable agricultural practices. The results of the activity showed an increase of 40.62% in farmers’ knowledge regarding LOF and a 30.25% increase in farmers’ confidence in applying the proposed technology. Farmers’ satisfaction with the LOF production socialization program was reflected in their willingness to participate in LOF production training, reaching 70.59%. The assessment was conducted by distributing questionnaires to participating farmers before and after the socialization activity.
Lebih dari setengah penduduk Desa Seputih merupakan petani. Komoditas tanaman unggulan yang paling banyak ditanam petani di Desa Seputih adalah padi, jagung, dan tembakau. Saat ini petani sering menghadapi masalah kelangkaan dan mahalnya harga beli pupuk anorganik. Kondisi tersebut berdampak langsung pada menurunnya hasil produksi tanaman. Pelaksanaan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat dilakukan dengan memberikan penguatan pengetahuan tentang Pupuk Organik Cair (POC) yang diperkaya Mikroorganisme Lokal (MOL) sebagai alternatif untuk mengurangi kebutuhan pupuk anorganik. Kegiatan dilaksanakan dengan metode sosialisasi kepada 17 orang petani yang hadir dengan tujuan untuk menambah pengetahuan tentang POC dan kesadaran praktik sistem pertanian berkelanjutan. Dari kegiatan ini terdapat perubahan pengetahuan petani tentang POC yang meningkat sebesar 40,62% dan keyakinan petani menerapkan teknologi yang ditawarkan (30,25%). Tingkat kepuasan petani terhadap sosialisasi pembuatan POC ditunjukkan dengan kesediaan untuk mengikuti pelatihan pembuatan POC sebesar 70,59%. Asesmen dilakukan dengan membagikan kuesioner sebelum dan sesudah kegiatan sosialisasi kepada petani yang hadir.
