Tabanan – Community service is carried out by the Faculty of Agriculture, Udayana University in collaboration with VNU University of Science-Vietnam, AEU Club Foundation, and Faculty of Soil Science Moscow State University, Moscow Russia with the topic "Utilization of Agricultural Waste to Grow Crops" on 24 November 2022 in Subak Jatiluwih, Tabanan, Bali. This service conveys techniques for using agricultural residues to fertilize rice plants, exploring problems that exist in farmers/fields. This activity was attended by farmers, lecturers, and students. It is known that the problems that occurred in Subak Jatiluwih and the solutions presented by several lecturers. The presentation was carried out by lecturers from VNU-Vietnam regarding the utilization of waste, namely by means of the VAC (Vegetation Agriculture Cage) which is a support system for sustainable agriculture.

The problem that occurred in Subak Jatiluwih was that there was heavy rain disturbance which caused empty rice and reduced rice tillers resulting in low land productivity. The solution was given by Prof. Pavel Kargashin-MSU and Prof. Manh Khai-VNU namely the addition of organic fertilizers/plant nutrients because rain erodes soil nutrients while rain does not carry plant nutrients so the soil becomes nutrient poor). Problems related to empty rice grains, suggested by Prof. Suada pollinated by spreading the rope and then dragging it on the rice flowers in a plot so that artificial pollination is expected to occur and it is carried out when it doesn't rain when the rice is flowering. Prof. Khai-VNU and Konstantin-AEU Club, need to check the soil pH so that the pH can be adjusted according to pH conditions. Rats, which are vicious in rice, have been controlled with gadung poison and the use of owl predators, but the problem is that it is difficult to reproduce/breed owls. Very thick paddy soil sludge reduces rice productivity, suggested solution from Konstantin Romanenko, AEU Club adding organic fertilizer because organic fertilizer will cause a fermentation process in the soil which will improve soil structure and nutrition by adding organic fertilizer of at least 10 tons/ha).

With the implementation of this community service, it can help farmers in Subak Jatiluwih in overcoming problems that occur with the solutions provided. After the presentation ended, a group photo was taken.
