Abstract

The banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus Germar, is an important pest of highland banana and plantain in Africa, but it exists in low densities in presumed area of origin in Southeast Asia such as in Indonesia. This suggests a possible existence of effective co-evolved natural enemies in the origin area of Indonesia, especially West Sumatra. The objectives of this study were: (1) to evaluate banana weevil pest status at selected sites in West Sumatra, (2) to survey parasitoids and predators, and(3) to determine the control potential of the most important natural enemies. Surveys were undertaken in March 2002-August 2003 in five locations in West Sumatra, i.e., Bukittinggi, Sitiung, Pariaman, Pasaman, and Batusangkar. Five farms per site were selected randomly among all farms that contained banana stands of > 0.5 ha. Sampling for banana weevil adults and damage, and for predators was done throughout small banana stands and within a 20 m x 40 m (0.08 ha) subplot on largerfarms. Field-collected larvae were taken to the laboratory and reared on corm pieces (3 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm) until pupation. Larvae were collected from pseudostem as well as corm residues. To estimate the abundance of non-social predators, i.e., those other than ants, 10 residues each on each farm were examined from plants that had been harvested 1-4 weeks, 5-8 weeks or 9 or more weeks before our visit to the site. Samples of thedifferent morphospecies were saved in alcohol for later identification. The result showed that the banana weevil incidence was found to be low,  0.6-1.7 adults per trap. Plant damage indices were below 2.2%. We collected and reared 24,360 eggs and 3118 larvae, but no parasitism was detected. Phorids (Megaselia sp.) and drosophilids were recovered from larval rearings, but most likely were scavengers. A complex of predators was detected, the most important of which was the histerid beetles,  Plaesius javanus Erichson. In laboratory tests, adults and larvae of P.  javanus attacked 75-88% and 38-53% of banana weevil larvae and pupae, respectively. Predatory ants, including species of Myrmicinae, Ponerinae, Formicinae, and Dolichoderinae, were found to be associated with bananaplants and residues. Adults of Myopopone castanea Smith (Ponerinae) were directly observed attacking banana weevil larvae in crop residues. The adult banana weevil mortalities caused by the entomopathogen fungi of Beauveria bassiana from Baso, Sungaitarab, Sei Sariek, and Sikabau at highest density (3.2 x 108 spores ml-1) after two weeks were 96.67%, 90.00%, 60.00% and 83.33%, respectively. The high diversity of habitatconditions in which crop-pest-natural enemies systems exist, support the idea that banana weevil population and damage intensity in the study area is low due to active role of natural enemies.

Abstract

Armyworm (Spodoptera litura) is one of the pests that attack vegetable plants in Indonesia. The attack resulted in the leaves of the plant being cut and perforated so as to reduce productivity and even crop failure The aim of the study was to determine effectiveness of Tithonia diversifolia extract as a vegetable insecticide to control the Spodoptera litura in mustard plants at the laboratory. The study used a completely non-factorial randomized design consisting of 5 treatments, K0 = no extract (control), K1 = concentration 4%, K2 = concentration 6%, K3 = concentration 8%, K4 = concentration 10%. Parameters observed were morphological changes and insect behavior, percentage of larval mortality, percentage of pupae and imago formed. The results that Tithonia diversifolia extract can control Spodoptera litura. The result of 8% (K3) Tithonia diversifolia extract effectively controls Spodoptera litura. The highest percentage of larval mortality of Spodoptera litura (80%) was found in the treatment of K3 (concentration 8%) at observation 9 HSA and the lowest mortality was found in K1 (concentration 4% with an average 67.5%. The lowest formation of pupa and imago in the K3 treatment was 20 and 29.17%

Abstract

Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a pest that boomed in early 2019. The research was conducted descriptively in areas that had never been attacked by S. frugiperda by planting various types of crops such as sweet corn, white corn, hybrid corn, green beans, tomatoes, chilies and sorghum. The results showed that S. frugiperda was very fond of sweet corn, followed by white corn, hybrid corn and sorghum. Green bean, chili and tomato plants were not attacked by S. frugiperda. Pest S. frugiperda began to attack sweet corn plants at 3 weeks after planting with the initial attack in the form of scratches on the leaves and continued to the base / growing point (leaves still curled). Even this pest also attacks the male flowers that have not opened and attacks the sweet corn cobs. S. frugiperda began to attack sweet corn at the age of 20.33 days after planting, on white corn 25.67 days after planting, hybrid corn 25.53 days after planting and sorghum at 28.67 days after planting. In sweet corn, the attack reached the corn cobs, while in white corn and hybrid corn, the attack only showed damage to the leaves, not to the cornflower as well as to sorghum. The percentage of attack on white corn (22.15%) and hybrid corn (18.26%) and on sorghum was only 10.34% less than attack on sweet corn (40.02%).

Abstract

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui respon pertumbuhan dan produksi tanaman cabai merah (Capsicum annum L.) di berbagai media tanam dan pemberian pupuk organik. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) Faktorial yang terdiri dari dua faktor. Faktor pertama adalah pemberian pupuk Tiens Golden Harvest (notasi H) terdiri dari 4 taraf, yaitu: Ho =  pupuk dasar,  H1 = 0,5 l/ha, H2 = 1 l/ha dan H3 = 1,5 l/ha.  Faktor  kedua adalah pemberian sekam padi dan arang  (notasi P) terdiri dari 3 taraf, yaitu: Po = 100 % tanah (sebagai kontrol), P1 = Tanah : Sekam Padi = 3 : 2 dan P2 = Tanah : Arang = 3 : 2. Parameter yang diamati dalam penelitian ini adalah:  tinggi  tanaman,  jumlah cabang, umur panen dan berat produksi per plot. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan dosis pupuk Tiens Golden Harvest dapat meningkatkan tinggi  tanaman, jumlah cabang, berat produksi per plot, dan mempercepat umur panen. Perlakuan media tanam dengan penambahan sekam padi dapat lebih meningkatkan tinggi tanaman, jumlah cabang dan berat produksi per plot, tetapi tidak dapat mempercepat umur panen, dibandingkan dengan yang menggunakan penambahan arang. Interaksi antara dosis pupuk Tiens Golden Harvest dan media tanam berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadap semua parameter yang diamati.
