Abstrak
Desa Sarongan merupakan salah satu desa penyangga Taman Nasional Meru Betiri di Kabupaten Banyuwangi yang telah melakukan pemberdayaan masyarakat berbasis komoditi bahan baku lokal. Kabupaten Banyuwangi merupakan penghasil buah naga terbesar di Indonesia dengan luar areal tanaman buah naga sebesar 3.786 hektar dengan produksi mencapai 82.544 ton per tahun. Sistem budidaya saat ini ditopang oleh lampu-lampu Ultraviolet (UV) pada malam hari untuk merangsang pembungaan sehingga menghasilkan peningkatan produktivitas buah naga. Total produktivitas buah naga di desa Sarongan berkisar 2.350 ton per tahun. Namun, produktivitas buah naga semakin menurun mencapai 60% dalam 2 tahun terakhir. Penurunan terjadi dari 6 ton/ha menjadi 2 ton/ha. Tujuan kajian ini adalah diseminasi teknologi perbanyakan agens hayati serta fasilitasi peralatannya sehingga siap diimplementasikan pada petani buah naga yang bersifat proven technology bagi masyarakat. Bimtek perbanyakan agens hayati dilakukan pada kelompok Mitra Tani Betiri menggunakan isolate Trichoderma sp., Azotobacter sp., Beauveria bassiana, dan Pseudomonas fluorescens. Hasil pengujian laboratorium Fakultas Pertanian tentang identifikasi dan populasi mikro menunjukkan jumlah populasi pada Azotobacter sp. sebesar 1,1 x 106 serta Pseudomonas fluorescens sebesar 4,1 x 107 dengan metode uji Total Plate Count dan Selective Medium. Kondisi ini menginformasikan bahwa hasil perbanyakan kultur agens hayati ini sudah layak untuk diimplementasi dalam budidaya buah naga. Penggunaan kompos yang dicampur agens hayati akan meningkatkan manfaatnya pada tanaman.
