Abstract. Residents of Hargowilis Village located in Kokap District, Kulon Progo Regency, D.I. Yogyakarta mostly works as farmers. Community income is highly dependent on the plantation products planted by the community, such as durian, longan, papaya, and various other types of plants. The income obtained from these plantation products is often erratic, influenced by various factors such as season, harvest success, market prices, people's purchasing power, and distribution channels of goods. Indonesia's weakened economic conditions due to the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic greatly affect the income of the Hargowilis Village community. Innovation is needed in horticultural planting techniques to have better products that can be their consistent income source. Hargowilis village has great potential as a longan cultivation location because it has a large land area with suitable conditions for longan cultivation. The farming of honey bees and klanceng is also very suitable to be carried out because Hargowilis Village is surrounded by vast natural forest and protected forest areas that supply the nectar needed by honey bees and klanceng. Longan cultivation and honey bee and klanceng farming have been carried out in Hargowilis Village, but the production results are not very great due to the lack of public knowledge regarding proper and correct cultivation techniques. This community service research program aims to teach and apply the cultivation technology of the longan Sleman variety from the research conducted by Sawit Sari Research Center, Faculty of Biology, UGM, and the farming technology of honey bee and klanceng from the research conducted by Laboratory of Entomology, Faculty of Biology, UGM to produce a better quality of longan fruits and honey. The methods used include community counseling, community training, and periodic mentoring. The results showed an increase in community knowledge and the ability to cultivate longan Sleman variety and honey bees and klanceng farming in an integrated farming system. |
