ABSTRACT
This Community Service (PKM) initiative aims to educate the public on the use of botanical pesticides derived from composite wood-leaf materials. The activity elaborated on the development method for composite-based liquid smoke pesticides, which encompasses several stages: gathering composite raw materials (e.g., bark, leaves, twigs), processing these materials into a finer form, producing the pesticide by combining the composite materials with a solvent, and testing its effectiveness against plant pests. The implementation began with a location survey and a discussion with the Principal of SMK Panca Budi Medan, followed by the main activity comprising lectures, hands-on practice, and an evaluation, with participation from 20 students. The outcome of this service is assessed based on the participants' absorbed knowledge regarding the use of composite-based liquid smoke botanical pesticides for effective and eco-friendly plant pest control.
