BIMBINGAN TEKNIS PEMBUATAN DAN APLIKASI TRICHODERMA UNTUK PENCEGAHAN LAYU FUSARIUM PADA PISANG KULTUR JARINGAN DI KOPERASI TANI HIJAU MAKMUR, TANGGAMUS

Abstract

Margodadi Village is a village located in Sumberejo District, Tanggamus Regency, Lampung Province. One of the agricultural potentials being developed in Margodadi Village is banana cultivation. Banana development in Margodadi Village was initiated by the Green Makmur Farmers Cooperative. Cultivated land covers 400 hectares spread across several districts in Tanggamus Regency. The main challenge by banana farmers in this region is the attack of Fusarium wilt disease (Fusarium Wilt), which can cause significant crop losses. Chemical control is always the initial solution for farmers, but has negative long-term impacts. Sustainable control is needed to reduce cooperative losses and the sustainability of the agricultural system in the region. Integrated control by integrating the use of healthy tissue culture seeds and the biological agent Trichoderma as a biological control is a solution offered to the cooperative. This technical guidance aims to enable farmers to produce biological agents independently, reduce production costs, increase banana yields, and maintain the sustainability of the agricultural environment. The results of the community service activities that have been carried out show an increase in knowledge about fusarium 42%, trichoderma 43%, trichoderma production skills 43% and a decrease in fusarium wilt 18% in the demonstration plot.
