Organic farming in Indonesia is gaining more attention as a sustainable alternative to
addressing environmental and health challenges. The decline in agricultural land
productivity and environmental degradation have driven the developments of organic
farming systems. Organic farming can serve as a safer alternative system as it
produces products free from synthetic chemical contaminants while also preserving
environmental sustainability. The outreach activities on organic plant pest and
diseases (PPD) control in Tumbuh Mulia Village aim to support the development of
green economy. PPD control prioritizes an approach that integrates various methods
that manage pest populations while considering economic efficiency and
environmental impact. These activities include counseling and training for farmers on
the use environmentally friendly botanical pesticides. The discussions with farmers
group revealed that pest infestations as brown planthoppers, whiteflies, and
mealybugs, as well as diseases like stem rot and root rot, which contribute to
decreased crop yields. The outreach program, involving 38 participants, successfully
improved farmers' knowledge of pest and disease identification and control.
Participants’ enthusiasm during discussion and demonstration sessions indicated their
readiness to adopt new techniques in agricultural practices. Thus, this outreach
initiative is expected to have a positive impact on improving agricultural yields and
the well-being of the community in Tumbuh Mulia Village.
