PEMANFAATAN LIMBAH ENGINE SEPEDA MOTOR SEBAGAI PENGGERAK UTAMA MESIN PENYEMPROT TANAMAN UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PRODUKTIFITAS DAN EFISIENSI PENYIRAMAN DI KELOMPOK TANI SUMBER REJEKI DESA KAMPONG TUHA BENSAMAR KEC. TENGGARONG KAB. KUTAI KARTANEGARA

Abstract

The use of motorcycle engine waste as the main driver of the plant sprayer machine was developed to increase the productivity and efficiency of watering in the Sumber Rejeki Farmers Group, Kampong Tuha Bensamar Village, Tenggarong District. The method of activities includes identification of field needs, design and fabrication of tools in campus workshops, bench tests, as well as field tests and operational training for farmers. The test compares manual and machine watering on an area of 50 m²; The parameters measured include area coverage (m²/min), fuel consumption (mL/min) and cost requirements. The average manual watering test result is 12 minutes, while the machine only takes 4 minutes, this can save watering time by up to 67% while the average fuel consumption is 15 mL/min. The use of motorcycle engine waste as the main driver of plant spraying machines has been proven to increase the efficiency and productivity of watering in the Sumber Rejeki Farmers Group, Kampong Tuha Bensamar Village. This innovation not only supports the principles of a circular economy and is environmentally friendly, but also strengthens the independence of agricultural technology at the village level.
