PENDAMPINGAN KELOMPOK TANI DENGAN GROPYOKAN DI DESA KRATON KECAMATAN YOSOWILANGUN

Abstract

Serangan hama tikus sawah di Desa Kraton secara
partisipatif menunjukkan serangan cukup berat diantara
desa lainnya, di Kecamatan Sidodadi, Kabupaten Lumajang.
Hama tersebut menyebabkan banyak sawah gagal panen
pembiaran. Kegiatan ini bertujuan mengendalikan hama
tikus sawah di Desa Kraton dengan cara gropyokan
(pengendalian hama tikus). Kegiatan dimulai melalui
sosialisasi mengatasi permasalahan dengan metode FGD
(forum grup discussion) guna menjelaskan kegiatan yang akan
dilaksanakan dan diskusi. Pengendalian dilakukan di petak
sawah milik petani yang diserang OPT (organisme perusak
tanaman). Hasil pendampingan dalam memberantas OPT
dapat direalisasikan dengan Gropyokan. Namun sebelum
terlaksananya gropyokan, banyak hal yang harus dilakukan
dan yang terutama adalah merubah paradigma masyarakat
dalam kepasrahannya agar sadar akan besarnya dampak
hama tikus sawah terhadap perekonomian

The attack of rice rats in Kraton Village in a participatory
manner showed a fairly heavy attack among other villages,
in Sidodadi District, Lumajang Regency. These pests cause
many rice fields to fail by neglecting to harvest. This activity
aims to control rice field rat pests in Kraton Village by means
of gropyokan (rat pest control). The activity was started
through socialization of overcoming problems using the
FGD (forum group discussion) method to explain the
activities to be carried out and have discussions. Control is
carried out in rice fields belonging to farmers that are
attacked by pests (plant destroying organisms). The results
of assistance in eradicating pests can be realized with the
Gropyokan. However, before the implementation of the
gropyokan, there are many things that must be done and the
most important thing is to change the paradigm of the
community in surrendering so that they are aware of the
magnitude of the impact of the field rat pest on the
economy.
