Training in the morning and afternoon sessions went smoothly. The training began with an opening by the Head of Agribusiness Study Program and continued with the presentation of material by the Instructor. Furthermore, participants went directly to the field according to the group division. The participants in both the morning and afternoon sessions looked enthusiastic by participating in mixing soil, kendang fertilizer, compost and husks as planting media that will be used when planting in polybags and vertically. After that, transplanting was also directly carried out by each participant, both on hydroponic media and polybags. Each participant gets 1 polybag with their own name where the polybag contains vegetable seeds that have been transplanted. Participants will be assisted in the care of their vegetable plants in the Agribusiness garden lab by HMJ Agribusiness. Furthermore, the vegetables will be harvested simultaneously at the closing ceremony of AgriFest 2023 on December 15, 2023. RAPS
