Abstract

Abstrak

Produksi kelapa di Indonesia mengalami fluktuasi. Penyebab fluktuasi produksi kelapa yaitu mayoritas petani di Indonesia belum melakukan budidaya tanaman kelapa berbasis Good Agriculture Practice (GAP). Budidaya tanaman kelapa berbasis GAP masih belum optimal diimplementasikan karena petani belum mampu melakukan pemilihan dan seleksi benih, persemaian benih, pembibitan, serta cara pemeliharaan tanaman kelapa. Kecamatan Gumukmas merupakan salah satu daerah dengan penghasil buah kelapa yang rendah dibandingkan dengan daerah lain di Kabupaten Jember. Minimnya pengetahuan dan ketrampilan mitra dikarenakan masih minimnya tingkat pendidikan pada anggota mitra. Solusi untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan mitra yaitu memberikan informasi dan pengetahuan kepada mitra. Tahap kegiatan meliputi koordinasi rencana kegiatan, Go Desa dan Course Day, serta evaluasi dan monitoring. Hasil dari pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian adalah pengetahuan mitra mengenai pengendalian hama Oryctes rhinoceros meningkat. Hal ini dilihat dari sesi tanya jawab serta hasil pretest dan post test mitra pada saat pengabdian. Hasil akhir pengabdian ini mitra memiliki motivasi kuat untuk melakukan pengendalian hama O. rhinoceros berbasis GAP.

Abstract

Coconut production in Indonesia fluctuates. The cause of the fluctuation in coconut production is that the majority of farmers in Indonesia have not yet cultivated coconut plants based on Good Agriculture Practice (GAP). GAP-based coconut cultivation has not been optimally implemented because farmers have not been able to select and select seeds, seed nurseries, nurseries, and how to maintain coconut plants. Gumukmas District is one of the areas with low coconut production compared to other areas in Jember Regency. The lack of knowledge and skills of partners is due to the low level of education among partner members. The solution to solving partner problems is to provide information and knowledge to partners. The activity stages include coordination of activity plans, Go Desa and Course Day, as well as evaluation and monitoring. The results of the implementation of community service activities are that partner knowledge regarding Oryctes rhinoceros pest control has increased. This can be seen from the question and answer session and the results of the partner's pretest and posttest during the community service. The final result of this community service is that partners have strong motivation to carry out GAP-based O. rhinoceros pest control.
