ABSTRACT

The community service program conducted by the Community Service (KKN) Team of the University of Jember in Gombolirang Village provided practical solutions to agricultural challenges, particularly in pest and disease control. The program focused on introducing environmentally friendly alternatives, including the use of botanical pesticides made from easily accessible plant-based ingredients such as lemongrass, maja fruit, and garlic, as well as the installation of yellow traps. Activities carried out in August 2025 included field observation, farmer interviews, extension sessions, demonstrations on the production of botanical pesticides and yellow traps, along with interactive discussions with farmer groups from five hamlets (Krajan, Kertosari, Cungking, Sempu, and Ancar). Data were collected through direct observation and evaluation of the community’s response to the introduced innovations. The implementation of this program showed that farmers in Gombolirang Village were highly enthusiastic and successfully gained practical skills in producing botanical pesticides and applying yellow traps as cost-effective and environmentally friendly pest control methods. These technologies were considered effective in reducing pest populations without disrupting the rice field ecosystem. Most participants also expressed their willingness to independently apply these methods in the next planting season. Thus, this program contributed to enhancing farmers’ capacity and encouraging the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices at the local level.

Keywords: Gombolirang, environmentally friendly agriculture, botanical pesticides, pest control, yellow trap.
