Application of agricultural machinery to improve the quality of organic fertilizer at KTH Lamperangan

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Organic fertilizer production has become an innovative solution in agriculture to improve soil quality and crop yields. The application of machines in the process of making organic fertilizer produces quality organic fertilizer, reduces the use of labor, speeds up the production process and reduces production costs. This community service activity aims to improve the quality of organic fertilizer through the use of shredders, mixers and sieving machines and packaging machines. This community service activity is divided into 4 stages, namely: socialization, training, application of machines, and assistance. The results of the community service activity improve the quality of organic fertilizer production from KTH Lamperangan by producing organic fertilizer with finer and more uniform particle sizes, using less labor and faster fermentation times. The use of machines is also more efficient because it reduces waste by utilizing all parts of the raw materials, thereby reducing waste volume, low energy use, and reducing operational costs.
