Abstrak

Kelompok Tani Kumbang Jantan di Nagari Alahan Panjang, Kabupaten Solok, merupakan kelompok tani bawang merah yang menghadapi permasalahan pengelolaan air akibat sistem penyiraman yang masih dilakukan secara manual. Kondisi tersebut menyebabkan distribusi air belum merata, meningkatkan kebutuhan tenaga kerja, dan berpotensi menurunkan efisiensi penggunaan air, terutama pada kondisi ketersediaan air yang terbatas. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan petani mengenai sistem irigasi tetes serta menghasilkan rancangan tata letak irigasi tetes yang sesuai dengan kondisi lahan budidaya bawang merah. Metode pelaksanaan dilakukan secara partisipatif melalui tahapan identifikasi permasalahan, survei dan pengukuran lahan, perancangan tata letak, sosialisasi dan pelatihan, serta pendampingan. Survei dilakukan untuk memperoleh data luas dan bentuk lahan, kemiringan, posisi sumber air, jumlah dan ukuran bedengan, serta kondisi tata letak lahan yang digunakan sebagai dasar perancangan jaringan irigasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa pelatihan dan pendampingan memberikan pemahaman teknis awal kepada 17 anggota kelompok tani mengenai prinsip kerja irigasi tetes, fungsi komponen, dan penentuan jalur jaringan berdasarkan kondisi lahan. Selain itu, telah dihasilkan rancangan tata letak sistem irigasi tetes pada demplot seluas 351,58 m² yang mencakup jaringan pipa utama, pipa cabang, pipa lateral, serta sistem penyediaan air berupa kolam penampungan, pompa, tandon, panel surya, dan baterai. Rancangan tersebut dapat digunakan sebagai acuan awal dalam implementasi sistem irigasi tetes pada lahan budidaya bawang merah.

 

Kata kunci: bawang merah; irigasi tetes; kelompok tani; tata letak irigasi; pengabdian kepada masyarakat.

 

Abstract

The Kumbang Jantan Farmers’ Group in Alahan Panjang Village, Solok Regency, is a shallot farming group facing water management challenges due to an irrigation system that is still operated manually. This situation results in uneven water distribution, increases labor requirements, and has the potential to reduce water use efficiency, especially when water availability is limited. This community service activity aims to enhance farmers’ knowledge of drip irrigation systems and to develop a drip irrigation layout design suited to the conditions of the shallot cultivation fields. The implementation method was participatory, involving the following stages: problem identification, land surveys and measurements, layout design, outreach and training, and on-site assistance. Surveys were conducted to collect data on land area and shape, slope, water source location, number and size of raised beds, and existing land layout—all of which served as the basis for designing the irrigation network. The results of the activities showed that the training and mentoring provided 17 farmer group members with a basic technical understanding of the operating principles of drip irrigation, the functions of its components, and how to determine the layout of the network based on land conditions. In addition, a layout design for a drip irrigation system was developed for a 351.58 m² demonstration plot, covering the main pipeline, branch pipes, lateral pipes, and a water supply system consisting of a storage pond, a pump, a water tank, solar panels, and batteries. This design can serve as an initial reference for implementing a drip irrigation system on shallot cultivation plots.
