Abstract

Cultivating crops without soil fertility management can reduce yields and degrade the quality of fertile soil. This applies to rhizome plants. This community service program aimed to improve soil fertility management skills among members of KWT Roay Lestari through the use of simple soil and fertilizer testing tools, namely PUTK, PUPO, and pH meter. The program applied a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach, involving farmers actively in training and field practice. Evaluation was conducted using pre- and post-training questionnaires. Results showed an increase in participants’ knowledge by more than 80% and a more than 50% Initial-final knowledge increase. Soil analysis indicated moderately fertile soil with slightly acidic pH, moderate phosphorus, low potassium, and low organic matter. Recommended improvements included the application of 20–25 tons/ha of manure, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (20 ml/L), and 3 tons/ha of lime. The program effectively enhanced farmers’ capacity to independently manage soil fertility in urban farming systems.
