Abstract

simple yet effective effort in supporting sustainable agricultural practices. This approach is considered environmentally friendly because it utilizes active compounds that are biodegradable and safe for humans and ecosystems. This Community Service Program (KKP) was carried out in Sajau Pura Village, Tanjung Palas Timur District, Bulungan Regency, through community empowerment activities including education and practical training on the production of botanical pesticides. The pesticide formulation involved natural ingredients such as garlic, lemongrass, ginger, and red chili, which contain active insecticidal compounds such as allicin, citronella, gingerol, and capsaicin. Tapioca flour was also added as a natural adhesive to improve application on plant surfaces. The results of the activity showed an increase in the community’s knowledge and interest in utilizing natural pesticides as a safe, affordable, and effective alternative to chemical pesticides. This program is expected to be an eco-friendly solution to strengthen food security and improve farmers’ welfare sustainably.Not required inclusion of quotations and writing formulas in abstract writing.
