Abstract

The majority of the population in Trans Tanjungan Village, 91%, are transmigration people from Java Island who farm plantation crops such as oil palm, cocoa, nutmeg, and deep coconut. The great desire of the partners is to be able to start being independent in providing ready-to-plant seedlings through sustainable oil palm nurseries. Innovation that can be implemented is by procuring the application of a technical culture related to fertilization, namely KNO3 and the right nursery model. The condition of the partner has large land and adequate resources but does not yet understand and run a sustainable oil palm nursery. The results of field reviews and discussions with farmer partners found that the loss of seedlings ready for planting was due to farmers not understanding the importance of fertilization, especially KNO3 fertilization activities and the oil palm nursery model. The activity proposing team has designed activity methods that will be implemented by way of counseling, demonstrations, training, consultation, and guidance, as well as evaluation. Counseling is carried out by elaborating and providing insight into the importance of the role of nutrients and technically balanced fertilization. Fertilization and other technical culture maintenance activities are carried out by means of preparation of tools and materials, preparation of KNO3 fertilizer solution, application in nurseries, maintenance of technical culture, monitoring and evaluation. The activity proposing team has designed activity methods which are applied by means of counseling, demonstrations, training, consultation, and guidance, as well as evaluation. After counseling, mentoring is carried out by monitoring and evaluating the innovation programs provided or applied to farmers. Increased understanding and technical development of technology by 100%, application implemented by 40% and increase in oil palm seeds ready for planting by 20%..
