One of the problems that exist in the Mertak Village community, especially Berami and Montong Gerantung hamlets, Pujut District, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara is the lack of public awareness of the utilization of livestock manure into organic fertilizer and its use in agricultural cultivation. This program aims to provide counseling and assistance to the people of Mertak Village to utilize livestock manure as organic fertilizer which has a sale value and can be used as a substitute for rare chemical fertilizers.
