The participants on this community service were Farmers’s wife of Duman Village. This community service started by socialization about the important of promoting growth inducer and pruning activity on agarwood cultivation. Then, the participants were given an opportunity to practice the theory that they got from the socialization. Gibberellins phytohormone was the promoting growth inducer that was used in this activity. The dose of that phytohormone was 1 gr for 2 liter water. Pruning activity was conducted by cutting top branch of agarwood tree using plant scissors. Leaves from branch that has been cut on the pruning activity could be processed to produce agarwood tea. It could be concluded that participant has already understood about application of promoting growth inducer and pruning activity to optimize growth of agarwood tree.
Otus jolandae is an endemic owl species of Lombok island. The previous study suggested exploring the ecology-related aspects more deeply since this species had been just identified in 2013 but their recent status is nearly threatened. This study was conducted in Natural Tourism Park (NTP) of Kerandangan forest from July to September 2016. The field observation was carried out during the night to observe the owl occurrence in different plant species and different vegetation structure (seedling, sapling, pole, and tree). The results reveal the most widely used plant species is Dalbergia latifolia and then followed by Tectona grandis, Tamarindus indica, Samanea saman, Mangifera indica, Delonix regia, and Swietenia mahagoni respectively. Moreover, about 71.6% Otus jolandae occurs dominantly in the tree structure, followed by 28.4% of the pole structure, while no occurrence found in seedling and sapling structure. This indicates the adult and subadult vegetation act as a critical part for being a territory for Otus jolandae. Hence, addressing the deforestation problem and at the same time protecting the forest in a good shape with more pole and tree vegetation structure will keep Otus jolandae population from the extinction.

Gyrinops tea is the new type of agarwood tea from Lombok Island, which has a good prospect to be developed. Addition of herbal medicine ingredients could improve the quality of this product as a healthy good taste herbal tea. One of chemical standard to measure quality of herbal tea product is tannin measurement. The aim of this research is to examine tannin concentration of Gyrinops tea with different leaves processing and addition of herbal medicine ingredient. Factorial Completely Randomize Design was used as experimental design with three replications and two treatment factors. i.e. leaf processing methods (P-1= leaves without oxidation, P-2: leaves with oxidation), and addition of herbal medicine ingredients (H-1: Zingiber officinale, H-2: Cymbopogon citratus, H-3: Citrus aurantiifolia). Tannin measurement was carried by titrimetric method using KMnO4 and Indigo carmine reagent Tannin concentration data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and DMRT at 5% level of significance. The results indicated that both treatment factors showed significant effects on tannin concentrations. However, there was no interaction effect between those two factors. Oxidation of Gyrinops leaves increased tannin concentration of the Gyrinops tea. Addition of Cymbopogon citratus resulted in the highest tannin concentration compared with other ingredients. Thus oxidation of Gyrinops leaves combined with addition of Cymbopogon citratus could produce herbal tea with high quality of tannin concentration.
