AbstrakBawang putih (Allium sativum L.)memiliki begitu banyak manfaat, dimana seharusnya diikuti dengan peningkatan akan produktivitasnya. Namun dilapangan budidaya bawang putih belum mampu mencukupi permintaan dari pasar, sehingga dilakukan import untuk memenuhinya. Banyak faktor yang menyebabkan rendahnya produktivitas bawang putih, mulai dari kualitas bibit yang rendah, sampai gangguan OPT (organisme pengganggu tanaman). Pengendalian OPT (organisme pengganggu tanaman) yang tepat juga akan membantu peningkatan produktivitas bawang putih, dimana pengendalian bisa dilakukan dengan mengidentifikasi terlebih dahulu OPT yang menyerang. Kemudian dilakukan pengendalian secara kultur teknis, maupun penggunaan agen hayati. Oleh karena itu, dilakukan penyuluhan/sosialisasi mengenai pengenalan dan pengendalian OPT bawang putih, (baik di lahan maupun di gudang pasca panen) yang diikuti oleh anggota Kelompok Tani Ngudi Rahayu, Cepit, Pagergunung, Kec. Bulu, Kab. Temanggung, Jawa Tengah. Berdasarkan, hasil kegiatan penyuluhan, pengetahuan petani akan pengenalan dan pengendalian OPT meningkat sebesar 39% dibandingkan sebelum adanya kegiatan penyuluhan. Dari kegiatan yang telah dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa petani melakukan pengendalian dengan cara yang telah dilakukan turun-temurun, pemahaman petani akan pengendalian OPT mengalami peningkatan setelah kegiatan sosialisasi, oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan pendampingan secara berkala kepada petani, sehingga hasil penyuluhan dapat memberikan damapak nyata terhadap peningkatan produksi bawang putih.Kata Kunci: bawang putih, kelompok tani, opt, sosialisasi.AbstractGarlic (Allium sativum L.) has so many benefits, which should be followed by an increase in productivity. But in the field of garlic cultivation has not been able to meet the demand of the market, so do import to fulfill. Many factors cause low productivity of garlic, starting from low quality seeds, to pest and disease disorders. Proper pest control will also help increase the productivity of garlic, where control can be done by identifying the pest first. Then the technical culture is controlled and the use of biological agents. Therefore, socialization was carried out regarding the introduction and control of garlic pests (both on land and in the post harvest warehouse) which was followed by members of the Ngudi Rahayu Farmer Group, Cepit, Pagergunung, Bulu, Temanggung, Central Java. Based on the results of extension activities, knowledge and farmers will be the introduction of the pest control increased by 39% compared to before their extension activities. From the activities that have been carried out it can be concluded that farmers carry out control in a way that has been carried down for generations, farmers' understanding of pest control has increased after socialization activities, therefore it is necessary to provide periodic assistance to farmers, so that the results of counseling can have a real impact on increasing garlic production.Key Word: Farmers, garlic, pest, socialization

Abstract Since past few decades, application of essential oils (EOs) was explored experimentally for the management of postharvest pests and diseases. However, uses of essential oils face a series of problems, including regulatory obstruction to commercialization (such as cost of toxicological and environmental assessments) or the way that efficiency of essential oils toward pests and diseases is not as evident or clear as that seen with the present available forms. This review highlights several issues extending from EOs chemistry to their bioactivity potential. The mechanism of action of EOs is also discussed to provide better understanding about their functions and improve the scope for the establishment of commercial opportunities in the form of natural biocontrol agents/botanical pesticides.

ABSTRAKDusun Soporaru merupakan salah satu dusun di Sumatera Utara yang memiliki beras spesifik lokal yaitu beras Natabo, yang merupakan beras super lokal milik petani sekitar dan sudah resmi dipasarkan. Namun, hingga saat ini infrastruktur bidang pertanian yang mendukung masih kurang memadai, seperti kebiasaan masyarakat dalam menggunakan bahan kimia untuk mengendalikan hama penyakit tanaman serta jumlah alat mesin pertanian untuk pengolahan padi yang masih belum tercukupi. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk membuat petani di desa mitra mengetahui potensi sumber daya alam bidang pertanian yang ada, khususnya padi beras merah, menerapkan konsep pengendalian hama terpadu dan bimbingan teknis pascapanen padi menggunakan mesin huller agar petani dapat mengolah hasil panen secara mandiri dan tepat guna sehingga kualitas dan kuantitas beras merah dari desa mitra meningkat. Pada kegiatan ini, dilakukan sosialisasi dan focus group discussion (FGD) dengan petani desa mitra untuk membahas masalah yang ada di lapangan selama ini, selanjutnya petani dibimbing untuk melakukan pengendalian hama padi tanpa bahan kimia yaitu dengan menggunakan alat perangkap jaring (sweep net) dan bimbingan teknis penggunaan mesin huller untuk tahap pascapanen padi. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat baik pada saat sosialisasi, diskusi maupun bimbingan teknis di lapangan telah terlaksana dengan baik dan mendapat respon positif dari petani di desa mitra Kata Kunci : Padi beras merah; pengendalian hama terpadu; pascapanen padi. ABSTRACT Soporaru Hamlet is a hamlet in North Sumatra that has local specific rice, namely Natabo rice, which is super local rice owned by local farmers and has been officially marketed. However, until now the supporting of agricultural infrastructure is still inadequate, the habit of using chemicals to control plant pests and the insufficient number of agricultural machinery for rice processing. This activity aimed to make the farmers in partner village know the potential of natural resources in agriculture in their village, especially the brown rice, to apply the concept of integrated pest control and post-harvest rice technical guidance using a huller machine so that farmers can process their crops independently and efficiently, so that the quality and quantity of brown rice from partner villages has increased. In this activity, socialization and focus group discussions (FGD) were carried out with partner village farmers to discuss problems in the field so far, then the farmers were guided to control rice pests without chemicals, namely by using sweep net tools and technical guidance using a huller machine for the post-harvest stage of rice. This community service activity that was consisted of socialization, discussion and technical guidance was conducted well and received a positive response from the farmers in the partner village. Keywords: Brown rice; integrated pest control; post-harvest of rice.

Background: Storage of pulse grain is a severe on-going problem for farmers, traders and also the consumers. Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] is one of such vital protein rich pulse crops of Indian origin referred to as poor man’s meat. Bruchids (Callosobruchus maculatus) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) are the major polyphagous storage pest of mungbean which causes the substantial post-harvest qualitative and quantitative loss, especially in long time storage condition. This loss directly affects the agricultural economy and also the human health.Methods: To find a solution, we first screened a large variety of mungbean genotypes against bruchid attack and narrowed down to six most potential varieties with highest resistance to bruchids. The present study is intended to manage pest control in post-harvest storage condition using easily available natural and eco-friendly treatment materials against the much-used chemical pest control materials. We have instinctively chosen eight treatment materials that are not used before except one in any earlier but similar studies of pest control management on other grains. Apart from direct natural sources of these treatment materials, we have used two ethnomedicinal dilution and evaluated their management efficacy as well.Result: The study highlights a new promising eco-friendly approach for bruchid management either through the ‘Homeo-Bruchid Interaction’ or through the ‘Easily Available Homemade Remedies.’ Our results are based on the crude extracts. In few specific situations, we have tried to give possible molecular level interactions that provide the bruchid resistance. However, further investigation is deemed necessary to properly assess the quality components of treating seed as well as identifying particular properties that are responsible for bruchid resistance and to confirm the level of human safety based on their bioactivity before commercialization.

AbstractNewly available data from USDA's Pesticide Data Program allow us to trace pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables to their sources among various uses. We show that pesticide residues come from four sources: on-farm pesticide use; post-harvest pesticide use; pesticide use on imported food; and canceled pesticides that persist in the environment. Post-harvest pesticides account for the largest share of residue detections. Farmers' pest control choices influence consumers' dietary intake of pesticides, but the way in which food is marketed and the history of pest management techniques used on farms may have a greater influence. For pesticides that U.S. farmers currently use, the data show the geographic sources of residues and the extent to which use contributes to dietary intake risks. This information could be used to target development of pest control alternatives more narrowly. However, research to develop on-farm pest control alternatives will not address all pesticide residue risks in consumers' diets.
