PENERAPAN PENANAMAN DENGAN METODE HIDROPONIK SISTEM WICK (SUMBU) KEPADA MAHASISWA UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN CARA MENANAM

Abstract

To improve the understanding and skills of students of Universitas Singaperbangsa Karawang and University Teknologi Mara about hydroponic techniques as a farming solution on limited land, training on planting mustard greens using the hydroponic method of the wick system was carried out. Through hands-on practice at the AU2 Keramat Community Garden in Kuala Lumpur, the training aims to raise awareness of the importance of consuming vegetables, learn more about hydroponics, and foster an entrepreneurial spirit. Interactive counseling, demonstrations, and evaluations are carried out through pre- and post-test. The results of the training showed a great improvement in the participants' knowledge, especially about the benefits of hydroponics, planting media, and wick system manufacturing techniques. It is hoped that this program will encourage environmentally friendly urban agriculture and provide business opportunities for students.
