Abstract

The Bogor Agricultural University community service program involved 5 lecturers, 2 postgraduate students, farmers, and the PKK group. The activities carried out were the dissemination of the innovations in the new type of national superior rice variety IPB 12 S, the Bonita variety of cayenne pepper, and the Powerless Automatic Fertigator (FONi) in Wingkomulyo village, Ngombol District, Purworejo Regency, Central Java Province. The rice field area in Wingkomulyo village is 33 hectares, with a good irrigation system. The implementation method includes coordination of program implementation, demonstration plots for rice and chili planting. Rice planting was carried out with a spacing of 30 x 30 cm, 14-day-old seedlings. The fertilizer dose per hectare was 150 kg of urea, 400 kg of NPK 15-10-12 and 95 kg of NPK 16-16-16 and 1 L of silica fertilizer. The growth of plants from the vegetative phase to the flowering phase was very good, but the plants fell before harvest due to heavy rain and strong winds. Several production components, namely the average number of productive tillers (13.0) and the average number of grains per panicle (141.7) as well as production (6.0 tons of GKP per hectare) were still below the potential yield of the IPB 12 S variety stated in the Variety Release Decree. Demonstration of planting cayenne pepper variety Bonita using FONi technology with a total of 20 pots. Transplanting chilies was carried out when the seedlings were 6 weeks old. The fertilizer used ABMix specifically for chilies. The initial growth of chilies was very good, but at the age of 2 months after transplanting a virus attack occurred, so that plant production was less than optimal. The dissemination activity was received enthusiastically by the Wingkomulyo village community and the Ngombol District government.
