This community service initiative, undertaken by students participating in the Student Work and Study Program (KKM) in Kaserangan Village, Ciruas District, Banten Province, was motivated by the prevailing practice of manual fertilization specifically, broadcasting fertilizer by hand. This method is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to uneven fertilizer distribution. The project aimed to implement appropriate technology in the form of a fertilizer spreader that is simple, user-friendly, and tailored to farmers' needs. A participatory approach utilizing qualitative descriptive methods was employed, involving a single farmer the RT 06 (Neighborhood Association) head of Kaserangan Village as a pilot partner. The activity stages included initial condition assessment and partner interviews, device design and fabrication, outreach and training on device usage, hands-on field practice, and monitoring and evaluation. Data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation were analyzed descriptively to illustrate conditions before and after the device's implementation, the partner's user experience, and the benefits and challenges encountered. The results indicate that the fertilizer spreader facilitated a more practical fertilization process for the partner, reducing the need for manual broadcasting. The partner was able to operate the device effectively following demonstrations and hands-on practice. The device demonstrated potential in alleviating physical strain specifically the need for repetitive bending during fertilization and promoting more targeted fertilizer distribution. This initiative is expected to serve as a preliminary model for the implementation of appropriate technology that can be further developed and adapted for other farmers facing similar land conditions.
