OPTIMIZATION OF YARD LAND FOR CASSAVA AND OTHER COMMODITIES AS A PILOT MEDIUM FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE

Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this service is (i) analysis of the socio-economic integrity of cassava and palagung on yard land and other products (fish, bananas, etc.), (ii) conducting a demonstration plot on corn-peanut intercropping crops, cassava and sweet potato culture and other commodities, as an 'offer' to optimize land suitability (land-used) on integrated laboratory land. The methods carried out are experiments and tests of difference in size and agro-techno-ecology analysis. As for cassava as the main crop (main crops). The results of the service program are (1) socio-economic benefits from the main commodity (cassava) as much as 150 kg/100m2. or Rp.375,000,-. Meanwhile, the social unity is in the form of harvests being distributed to neighbors. Another economic 'value' is the availability of comfort for producers on land or the derversification of food support such as the production of bananas, kate fruits, and others; (2) The 'offer' of the yard land optimization model in an integrated laboratory through the tumpeng sari planting pattern and/or by utilizing gallon waste mineral drinking water can be used to plant corn and peanuts to provide education to the target group to conduct a demo plot on the desired plants. The demonstration plot was carried out in an area of 1034 m2 in an integrated laboratory on Jl.Raya Kepuharjo 13 Kepuharjo Village, Karangploso, Malang with an agro-techno-ecology model that has been carried out since January 2025. However, the product results of each commodity have not been explained in detail because they are still waiting for the harvest period. For this reason, on the occasion of the second edition of this journal, he will convey in detail all the commodities he cultivates.===============================Key words: Pekarang, Tumpeng Sari, Monoculture, Agro, and Techno-Ecology.
