Wukirsari Partner Village Program: Utilization of Compost and Liquid Organic Fertilizer for Plants and the Benefits of Medicinal Plants #4

Cooperation Monday, 4 November 2024

In the midst of heavy rain on Friday 1 November 2024, the Community Service team of Wukirsari Village carried out the final agenda of a series of activities for the Partner Village Program, Faculty of Biologi UGM 2024. This event focused on the utilization of compost and liquid fertilizer for medicinal plants (TOGA). This meeting served as an application of the outcomes from the earlier meeting of the Wukirsari Partner Village Program, specifically related to composting and the production of liquid organic fertilizer. The event was opened by Prof. Rina Sri Kasiamdari, S.Si., Ph.D., followed by a presentation by Dr. Wiko Arif Wibowo, S.Si.

“Medicinal plants (TOGA) are household remedies that have long been utilized by the community, particularly for cooking purposes,” stated Dr. Wiko at the beginning of his presentation to the 31 members of the Wukirsari PKK who attended. Various herbal roots (such as turmeric, ginger, and aromatic ginger), lemongrass, and bay leaves are examples of TOGA plants that offer numerous health benefits. Recipes can be adjusted according to the desired use by adding other ingredients like lime juice, lemon, and honey—for example, a mixture of lime, ginger, and honey to treat cough and cold; turmeric for fever or diarrhea; and lemongrass with honey for gallstones. TOGA plants can be consumed by drinking the juice directly or by boiling them first.

In rural areas, where there may still be plenty of open land, TOGA plants can be grown directly in the ground rather than in pots or polybags. “Compost can be added to the planting medium in equal proportions. In contrast, liquid organic fertilizer should first be diluted with water to avoid high concentration, for instance, with a 1:10 ratio,” explained Dr. Wiko.

After the presentation on the topic of TOGA, the activity continued with an explanation of the Spirulina microalgae harvesting process, which had been cultivated in a previous session. Assisted by four students—Tia Erfianti, Renata Adaranyssa Egistha Putri, Seisha Salsabila Rosandi, and Abdurrahman Muhammad Fikri Rasdi—the harvesting process was demonstrated, including filtering, drying, grinding (into powder), and packaging. Together, the members of PKK Wukirsari filtered Spirulina from several gallons of culture. The filtered product was then dried, either by sun-drying or using an oven, to obtain dried sheets. These sheets can be consumed directly or ground into powder using a blender. The amount of product obtained depends greatly on the concentration or quantity of microalgae in the culture; the more intense the green-blue color, the greater the yield. Each session of the day included discussions and Q&A with participants. A quiz session with door prizes for correct answers made the atmosphere even more lively and exciting.

In today’s meeting, the Wukirsari Partner Village Program faculty team, represented by Prof. Dr. Diah Rachmawati, S.Si., M.Si., Dr. Maryani, M.Sc., Utaminingsih, S.Si., M.Sc., Novita Yustinadiar, S.Si., M.Si., and Dr. Siti Nurbaiti, presented various TOGA plants. Different of plants, including betel, lemongrass, bay leaves, turmeric, pandan, binahong, and various citrus varieties (such as lemon, lime, sour lime, and kaffir lime), totaling 10 types and 68 plants, was given to the members of PKK Wukirsari who attended.

At the closing session, led by Dr. Maryani, M.Sc., the faculty team and the Wukirsari PKK members exchanged thanks for the opportunity to collaborate throughout the Partner Village Program. Today’s event aims to enhance community knowledge and contribute to broader benefits, supporting Indonesia’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 2 – Zero Hunger, SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being, SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production, and SDG 15 – Life on Land.

PkM MBKM Faculty of Biology UGM 2024: Empowering the Community of Kepuh Kulon RT 001, Wirokerten, Banguntapan, Bantul Through Utilizing Limited Land with Hydroponic Technology for Food Independence (Phase II): Spinach Kwetiau Noodles, Hydroponic Results for Independent Food Diversification

Cooperation Friday, 1 November 2024

Community Service Team – Independent Learning Independent Campus (PkM-MBKM) Faculty of Biology UGM 2024, chaired by Prof. Rina Sri Kasiamdari, S.Si., Ph.D. has successfully carried out a series of Community Service activities at Kepuh Kulon RT 001, Wirokerten, Banguntapan, Bantul, the second stage. The team involved four students are Nurindah Musarofah, Hasna Nabila Kusumastuti, Cindy Adisty Rudi Ananda Putri, and Amalia Rizky Fauzi carrying out a sustainable program for hydroponic cultivation technology by processing spinach into spinach kwetiau noodles for food diversification. This program is intended to provide information and guidance to the community for processing hydroponic cultivation products and food diversification. Food diversification aims to prevent constant consumption patterns of just one type of food. This semester, PkM-MBKM was held on Sunday, 27 October 2024 at 09.00 – 13.00 WIB at the house of the Head of RT 001 Kepuh Kulon, Mr. Zamzuri. This activity was greeted with enthusiasm by the residents of RT 001 Kepuh Kulon, attended by 18 women and Mr. Sunartono as Head of the Kepuh Kulon Village Hamlet. As an opening, Mr. Sunartono delivered a speech regarding the importance of applying the knowledge that has been obtained because the work of knowledge will bring benefits to society. He also hopes that there will be community initiatives to continue this program without fear of the risk and failure so that the people of RT 001 Kepuh Kulon can become productive individuals. Supporting that, Prof. Rina also said that this program was held to help increase community food independence through hydroponic food diversification. She emphasized the importance of togetherness between residents to realize the implementation of this program in the community. This activity is expected to support the local economy by introducing and improving skills in hydroponic technology and independent food production which can also open up new business opportunities.

This program takes the form of socialization and practice in making hydroponic product in the form of “Mi kwetiau bayam” or spinach kwetiau noodles. Socialization is carried out by providing information regarding the names of hydroponic processed products, what types of plants are used, the contents and benefits of spinach plants, tools and materials as well as procedures for making them. Noodles are a type of food that is often consumed by people. However, noodles generally do not contain enough nutrition. Therefore, we innovated to add spinach as a nutritional enhancer and food coloring. Spinach is known to contain several minerals, fiber, and vitamins A, C, and K which are good for facilitating digestion, controlling blood pressure, and maintaining immunity.

The practice of making hydroponic products is carried out by forming groups to provide effectiveness of the activity. The peoples were divided into two groups of 6-8 peoples, accompanied by two students to carry out independent practice. The practice began with a brief explanation of the tools and materials provided, then continues with the practice of making dough according to the recipe, and making the dough into kwetiau noodles using a noodle mill. The raw noodles are ready, processed into fried spinach kwetiau noodles by the participant and the final result is enjoyed together. It is hoped that the residents’ enthusiasm and skills in carrying out the practice will be a boost for applicants for this program. Towards the end of the activity, a mini quiz was held and residents who successfully answered were given doorprizes. The PkM-MBKM team also gave one pack of noodles along with ready-made spices and merchandise to residents so they could be used to apply it at home. Before the event closed, a symbolic memento was given from the PKM-MBKM team represented by Prof. Rina to RT 001 Kepuh Kulon presented by Mr. Zamzuri, followed by a group photo session. It is hoped that the PkM-MBKM program can provide new information and knowledge in processing hydroponic cultivation results into products that support community food diversification. This activity supports SDG 2: Zero Hunger, SDG 3: Healthy and Prosperous Lives, and SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.
