Farmers in Tambakrejo Village, Sumbergempol District, and Tulungagung Regency are currently facing challenges due to the scarcity of subsidized fertilizer. The government provides fertilizer quotas based on the recommended dosage for each region, but the reduced availability has impacted crop production because of low soil fertility. One way to enhance soil fertility and provide nutrients for plants is by using humic acid. This community service project aims to train farmers to produce humic acid from water hyacinth, a plant often considered an aquatic weed. Utilizing water hyacinth for this purpose helps control the spread of these weeds while improving soil health. The methods involved include raising awareness, conducting practical sessions on making humic acid from water hyacinth, monitoring the maturation process of the humic acid, and applying it in rice fields. The community service activities were well-executed and successful. Humic acid was successfully produced from water hyacinth and can now be applied directly to farmers' fields.
