Training on Making Biological Agents in the Form of PGPR, Beauveria Bassiana, and Trichoderma

Abstract

Lalombonda Village, District of Amonggedo, Kabupaten Konawe, Southeast Sulawesi, is home to many people engaged in agricultural activities. This is largely due to the fertile soil conditions. However, there are disruptions caused by pests and diseases, which can negatively affect plant growth on residents' land and ultimately impact the agricultural production of the community. The KKN Building Villages-MBKM program aims to provide knowledge and skills related to the production of biological agents, specifically PGPR, Beauveria Bassiana, and Trichoderma. The implementation of this program involves socialization, counseling, and mentoring with a participatory approach, where the community actively participates from the beginning to the end of the activity. The program consists of four main stages: preparation, material preparation, training and mentoring, and finalization. Through this activity, training on the production of biological agents such as PGPR, Beauveria Bassiana, and Trichoderma has successfully increased farmers' knowledge and skills, enabling them to enhance crop production by effectively controlling pests and plant diseases in Lalombonda Village.
