Abstract

Desa Lubuk Kasih memiliki areal persawahan lebih dari 65 Ha sehingga berpotensi sebagai wilayah penghasil beras di Kabupaten Langkat. Produksi padi di desa tersebut menurun dengan penggunaan pupuk kimia karena pupuk tersebut merusak kesuburan tanah. Sebagai solusi, petani mulai bertransisi dari pertanian anorganik ke pertanian organik. Untuk memudahkan petani dalam penyediaan pupuk organik secara mandiri, cara konvensional diganti dengan Teknologi Komposter Pintar dimana satu unit komposter menghasilkan sekitar 240 Kg pupuk kompos dalam 20 hari dengan kematangan yang terukur. Cara konvensional menghabiskan waktu minimal 40 hari dengan tingkat kematangan yang sulit diukur sehingga Komposter Pintar ini menjadi solusi yang tepat.

Lubuk Kasih Village has a rice field area of ​​more than 65 Ha so it has the potential to become a rice producing area in Langkat Regency. Rice production in the village decreases with the use of chemical fertilizers because these fertilizers damage soil fertility. As a solution, farmers are starting to transition from inorganic farming to organic farming. To make it easier for farmers to provide organic fertilizer independently, the conventional method has been replaced with Smart Composter Technology where one composter unit produces around 240 kg of compost in 20 days with measurable maturity. The conventional method takes a minimum of 40 days with a level of maturity that is difficult to measure, so this Smart Composter is the right solution
