Abstract

The current challenges farmers face include a high dependence on synthetic chemical pesticides, which negatively impact the environment and human health. The abundance of cigarette butt waste also poses a serious environmental problem. This Community Service activity aims to provide education on processing cigarette butt waste into organic liquid fertilizer as an environmentally friendly and economical alternative biopesticide for farmers. The method applied in this community service activity began with the collection of cigarette butts, which were then fermented to produce organic liquid fertilizer. The fermentation process was carried out by adding certain materials to enhance the nutrient content of the fertilizer. Finally, the fertilizer was field-tested by applying it to plants to assess its impact on plant growth and health and educate farmers on the use of this organic fertilizer. The results of the community service activity show that there is an increase in the understanding of the participants regarding the production of organic liquid fertilizer from cigarette butts. Participants acknowledged the benefits of this community service activity and recognized that organic waste from cigarette butts can be an environmentally friendly alternative pesticide. The evaluation of the community service activity shows an increase in participants' understanding of making organic liquid fertilizer from cigarette butts, as well as awareness of the potential of this waste as an environmentally friendly biopesticide.
