<![CDATA[Kentang merupakan salah satu komoditas penting dan mendapat prioritas untuk dikembangkan di Indonesia karena potensi ekspor yang tinggi ke negara lain. Salah satu hambatan dalam peningkatan produksi tanaman kentang yaitu adanya serangan nematoda sista kentang (NSK). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keberadaan NSK pada lahan kentang di Desa Sumber Brantas, Kecamatan Bumi Aji, Kota Batu, Provinsi Jawa Timur. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan cara survei yaitu pengambilan sampel tanah di 2 lahan pertanaman kentang dan mengidentifikasi nematoda yang terdapat di dalamnya. Proses identifikasi dilakukan di Laboratorium Balai Besar Karantina Pertanian, Surabaya. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan April hingga Mei 2022. Identifikasi dilakukan melalui pendekatan morfologi pada karakter pola perineal/sidik pantat nematoda betina. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada lokasi penelitian telah ditemukan sebanyak 1528 sista yang berasal dari spesies Globodera rostochiensis. Potato is one of the important commodities and has priority to be developed in Indonesia because of its high export potential to other countries. One of the obstacles in increasing the production of potato plants is the potato cyst nematode (NSK) attack. This study aims to determine the presence of NSK on potato fields in Sumber Brantas Village, Bumi Aji District, Batu City, East Java Province. This research was conducted by means of a survey, namely taking soil samples in 2 potato plantations and identifying the nematodes present in them. The assistance process was carried out at the Laboratory of the Agricultural Quarantine Center, Surabaya. The study was conducted from April to May 2022. Identification was carried out through a morphological approach to the perineal pattern/butt print of female nematodes. The results showed that 1528 cysts from the Globodera rostochiensis species were found at the study site]]>
