Ibm Kelompok USAha Tepung Kelapa Di Desa Labuan Kungguma Kab. Donggala Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah.

Pengolah minyak kelapa “Sukamaju dan Kungguma†dimana pengolahan minyak kelapa diperoleh limbah yang cukup banyak yaitu ampas kelapa yang hanya dimanfaatkan sebagai pakan ternak. Adapun tujuan dan target dari program IbM ini yaitu meningkatkan cara berpikir positif dengan memanfaatkan limbah pengolahan minyak kelapa untuk diolah menjadi suatu bidang USAha; meningkatkan nilai ekonomis ampas kelapa menjadi tepung kelapa sebagai bahan dasar pembuatan berbagai macam kue; meningkatkan hasil olahan buah kelapa menjadi beberapa produk yang bernilai secara ekonomis, agar produk tersebut dapat bersaing di pasaran, baik lokal, regional dan untuk ekspor; melakukan pembinaan kepada anggota kelompok mitra agar dapat meningkatkan nilai kualitas ampas kelapa dan beberapa produk lainnya yang bernilai ekonomis dan bertahan lama dalam penyimpanan, sehingga dapat bersaing sesuai dengan yang diharapkan; meningkatkan pendapatan masyarakat petani agar masyarakat petani lebih sejahtera. Usaha menyelesaikan permasalahan dari Kelompok Sukamaju dan Kungguma melalui Program IbM ini menggunakan metode Pendidikan Masyarakat dengan pendekatan Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA/RRA) yaitu dengan metode pelatihan (training), demonstrasi percobaan, pembinaan dan evaluasi terhadap kelompok USAha kecil mitra.

Pemanfaatan Pangan Lokal Untuk Produksi Tortilla Fungsional Berbasis Labu Kuning

Pumpkin is a source of nutrition potential to be developed as an alternative food substance by processing it to form processed food such as snack in addition to serving it as steamed, boiled, fried, and baked food or cooking it with other substances.  Pumpkin contains 78.77% carbohydrate, 3.74% protein, 1.34% fat, and 2.80% raw fiber.  The research aimed at studying the chemical and organoleptic qualities of pumpkin based tortilla produced from the best ratio of pumpkin, cassava and sweet potato.  The research used a Completely Randomized design with a single factor of various weights of pumpkin addition.  The treatment tested were seven levels of pumpkin weights including 500 g, 750 g, 1000 g, 1250 g, 1500 g, 1750 g and 2000 g.  Each treatment was replicated thrice; therefore, there were 21 experimental units.  Parameter tested were chemical characteristics of the tortilla such as carotene content, water content and ash content, and organoleptic quality including color, aroma, taste, crisp and performance of the tortilla.  The research results showed that the pumpkin significantly affected all chemical characteristics and all organoleptic qualities except aroma quality.  The contents of carotene, water and ash increased with raising pumpkin weights.  The level of panelists' predilection on tortilla decreased with increasing use of pumpkin.  The ratio of 1000 g of pumpkin to 1000 g cassava and 250 g sweet potato fluor was the best formula for producing the best tortilla chemical and organoleptic qualities

Populasi dan Tingkat Serangan Spodoptera Frugiperda pada Tanaman Jagung di Desa Tulo Kabupaten Sigi

Spodoptera frugiperda is a new pest in Central Sulawesi attacks maize crops. It was reported in 2019, known in Sigi, Donggala, Touna, Bangga, Tolitoli, Buol, and Palu City Regencies. Also, this pest is spreading rapidly by threatening maize production in Central Sulawesi. This study aims to measure the population and intensity of Spodoptera frugiperda attacks on maizes in Tulo Village, Dolo Sub-district, Sigi Regency. The study, conducted from January to March 2020, used a survey method and selected sampling. Our location takes each plot measuring 2x2 m. Population observations were carried out by collecting larvae found in the sample plants. The attack's intensity was carried out by counting the number of leaves showing symptoms of an attack on the top leaves. Calculation of the proportion of attacks was carried out by the Davis method. The results showed that the highest S. frugiperda population at the age of 14 days after planting. The intensity of S. frugiperda attack on maize was relatively high at the age of 42 days after planting, with an average attack of 65.24%. Climatic data during this period, an average of 28.76-29.43 ℃ with air influence was 71.1-72%
