The use of organic fertilizer has begun to be applied by farmers, but the use of pesticides still applies chemical pesticides. The impact of chemical pesticides is not only harmful to plants and the environment, but can cause new types of pests and diseases to attack plants. Organic pesticides are not used by farmers in Mengani Village due to farmers' lack of understanding of the application of effective and efficient use of organic pesticides. So the Farmers' Group needs to get management socialization in Agro-Entrepreneurship towards environmentally friendly and sustainable agriculture.
