<![CDATA[Abstrak: Sektor pertanian telah memberikan kontribusi besar bagi nilai ekspor Indonesia. hasil pertanian tersebut salah satunya yaitu minyak atsiri. Atsiri merupakan cairan yang diperoleh dari pengolahan tanaman serai wangi. Sentra penghasil minyak atsiri dari serai wangi serta merupakan mitra pengabdian ini yaitu kelompok tani serai wangi Desa Sukajaya, Kecamatan Sukatani, Kabupaten Purwakarta. Dalam proses pemanenan, petani desa mengalami permasalahan dimana alat yang digunakan untuk panen masih berupa alat konvensional. Sehingga menyebabkan biaya yang dikeluarkan cukup tinggi dan proses panen membutuhkan waktu yang lama. Oleh karena itu, tujuan dari adanya pengabdian ini yaitu untuk memberikan sosialisasi dan edukasi guna meningkatkan keterampilan kelompok tani serai wangi saat proses panen, serta menambah wawasan mengenai teknologi ALSINTAN (alat mesin pertanian). Metode pengabdian dilakukan melalui sosialisasi, edukasi, pelatihan, dan pendampingan. Berdasarkan rata-rata hasil pre-test capaian pengetahuan mitra sebesar 41,6% dan post-test 96,8%, sehingga mengalami peningkatan sebesar 55,2% terkait pemahaman dan keterampilan petani dalam memanfaatkan teknologi alat mesin pertanian untuk dapat meningkatkan produktivitas hasil tani serai wangi. Melalui penerapan teknologi ALSINTAN, petani dapat mempercepat, memperpendek proses panen tanaman serai wangi, dan meminimalisir biaya yang dikeluarkan sebesar 85,7%.Abstract: The agricultural sector has made a major contribution to the value of Indonesia's exports. One of these agricultural products is essential oil. Essential oil is a liquid obtained from processing citronella plants.

In the harvesting process, village farmers experience problems where the tools used for harvesting are still conventional tools. So that the costs incurred are quite high and the harvesting process takes a long time. Therefore, the purpose of this service is to provide socialization and education in order to improve the skills of citronella farmer groups during the harvesting process, as well as add insight into ALSINTAN technology (agricultural machinery). The service method is carried out through outreach, education, training, and mentoring. Based on the average results of the pre-test, the achievement of partner knowledge is 41.6% and the post-test is 96.8%, so that there is an increase of 55.2% regarding the understanding and skills of farmers in utilizing agricultural machine tool technology to be able to increase the productivity of agricultural products citronella.
