In Sumberbulu Village, the ITS team installed a battery-powered shallot watering device. A resident named Tali described the difference from manual watering.
Sumberbulu Village, Tegalsiwalan District. In an ITS report in October 2025, a resident named Tali compared the new watering device with the methods they usually encountered: buckets require effort, while gasoline-powered machines they considered too large.
The ITS High Voltage Laboratory team worked with the village government to install a smaller device, using batteries and a charging station supported by solar panels. They also trained residents to use and maintain the device. This is a report about the device and residents' responses during the activity; there is not yet any harvest data after installation that can be used to assess the results.
