EDUKASI PENGENDALIAN HAMA DAN PENYAKIT BUAH NAGA DI NAGARI TANJUNG ALAI

Abstract

Tanjung Alai is among the nagari working towards becoming a central area for dragon fruit production. However, in the development of its cultivation, Tanjung Alai nagari community has found various obstacles in its cultivation technology, especially in maintenance technology and pest and pest control. Of course, this will indirectly reduce the quality and quantity of dragon fruit production. In response to these problems, we provide solutions that can overcome Nagari Tanjung Arai's partner problem by conducting educational activities on the introduction and control technology of pests and diseases of dragon fruit. The implemented activity model includes activities to provide information on various technologies for controlling plant pest organisms that hinder the development of dragon fruit growth and production, and continues a sharing session to determine the level of understanding of the agricultural community of the information presented. Based on the review of the implementation of this activity, it can be seen that the education carried out can improve the ability and insight of Dragon fruit farmers in overcoming and tackling plant-destroying organisms that hinder the development of Dragon fruit.
