DEMOPLOT BUDIDAYA PISANG DI KWT RUKUN TANI DESA ADI WARNO KECAMATAN BATANG HARI LAMPUNG TIMUR

Abstract

Yards are generally planted with various types of plants, ranging from high crown plants to low crown
plants. However, choosing the wrong types of plants actually makes land use not optimal because not
all plants planted can produce. Banana is a commodity that is widely grown around the house and in
mixed gardens. The existence of vacant land in the yard of the KWT Rukun Tani member's house, Adi
Warno Village, Batang Hari District, East Lampung Regency has the potential to be planted with
bananas. Although some members have planted bananas in their yards, their growth and productivity
is still low due to limited knowledge and skills in banana cultivation. The purpose of community service
activities is to transfer knowledge from tertiary institutions (service teams) to the community (KWT
Rukun Tani), through counseling activities and banana cultivation demonstration plots for the use of
yard land and increasing the income of KWT members. Based on the activities that have been carried
out, members of KWT Rukun Tani feel that the service activities carried out are very useful because
they get new knowledge about good and correct banana cultivation. Currently the bananas planted in
demonstration plots, in the yard and in the collective garden, are growing very well and some of the
plants have started to bear fruit.
