IMERCY UNAIR Hadirkan Teknologi Canggih untuk Membantu Petani Sidoarjo Melawan Hama

Admin SDGS — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 09:46:53 +0000

Desa Plaosan, salah satu dari ratusan desa di Kabupaten Sidoarjo, Jawa Timur, memiliki dataran subur seluas 115,21 Ha dan dihuni sekitar 6.568 jiwa. Mayoritas penduduk desa ini bekerja sebagai petani dan pedagang. Potensi lahan pertanian yang luas dan subur sebenarnya menawarkan peluang besar untuk meningkatkan produksi dan kesejahteraan desa. Pengoptimalan lahan ini penting untuk membuka peluang usaha baru, menyerap tenaga kerja, dan meningkatkan nilai ekonomi, serta menguatkan daya saing produk pertanian desa Plaosan.

Meskipun demikian, desa ini belum sepenuhnya memanfaatkan potensi tersebut. Berbagai masalah, termasuk serangan hama, menghambat hasil pertanian yang optimal. Penurunan produktivitas disebabkan oleh hama yang merusak tanaman padi, sehingga mengurangi hasil panen. Petani di desa ini merasa khawatir karena padi yang sudah dirawat dengan baik rusak akibat serangan hama.

Petani di Desa Plaosan telah mencoba berbagai metode untuk mengatasi masalah ini, seperti menjaga ekosistem alami, berburu hama secara manual, dan menggunakan pestisida. Namun, penggunaan pestisida yang berlebihan justru menimbulkan masalah baru: merusak tanah dan tanaman, serta mengganggu keseimbangan ekosistem alami. Dampak negatif penggunaan pestisida juga meliputi penurunan kesehatan tanah dan potensi risiko kesehatan bagi masyarakat.

Dalam upaya nyata untuk mengabdi pada masyarakat, IMERCY (Instrumentation And Energy Research Community) UNAIR memperkenalkan program "Pertanian Berkelanjutan" untuk mengatasi masalah hama di Desa Plaosan. Program ini menggunakan teknologi canggih berupa alat pengendalian hama yang memanfaatkan gelombang suara ultrasonik dengan frekuensi 15 KHz - 20 KHz. Gelombang suara ini efektif untuk mengusir hama seperti tikus dan burung emprit. Selain itu, akan diterapkan sistem pemantauan suhu dan sinar matahari untuk mengendalikan hama wereng.

Teknologi ini dapat diakses dan dikendalikan melalui smartphone, menawarkan kemudahan penggunaan bagi petani. Alat ini menggunakan tenaga dari Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Surya (PLTS), mendukung tujuan SDGs ke-7 tentang energi bersih dan terjangkau. IMERCY juga merencanakan pelatihan bagi petani untuk memastikan mereka dapat memanfaatkan teknologi ini secara efektif. Program ini mendapat pendanaan dari SDGs Center UNAIR, yang mendukung pelaksanaan program pengabdian ini.

Desa Plaosan menjadi contoh awal dari penerapan teknologi ramah lingkungan dalam pertanian berkelanjutan yang mendukung SDG 7. Praktik baik yang diterapkan di desa ini diharapkan dapat menjadi model bagi desa-desa lain di Indonesia. Evaluasi dan tindak lanjut dari program ini akan dilakukan untuk memastikan keberlanjutan dan keberhasilan jangka panjang.
