Abstract

Oryctes rhinoceros or Rhino beetle ( Coleoptera; Scarabidae) is a major pest in oil palm plantations. This pest is very harmful, especially in replanting areas, and young plants cause up to 25 per cent of palm oil-related deaths. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of integrated pest management in suppressing the population and development of O. rhinoceros. The research was conducted at the Oil Palm Plantation, PT. Sumber Indah Perkasa, Penawartama, Tulangbawang Regency, Lampung Provincial for one year. The analysis used is a descriptive analysis involving the collection of data from a variety of control techniques. The results showed that the pest control techniques of O. rhinoceros lightrap, ferotrap, holetrap, nets, larval quotes and chemistry could suppress or decrease pest populations. The control with light traps is very efficient because it obtained the number of captures of imago beetles up to 246,224 in 1 year. The integrated pest control of O. rhinoceros successfully reduced the attack of beetles until it did not reach the economic threshold. It is hoped that implementing integrated O. rhinoceros pest control can be a reference for plantations

Abstract

Horn beetles (Oryctes rhinoceros) are among the pests in oil palm plantations. This study aims to find out the usefulness of Metarhizium anisopliae with a combination of various ways of application and dosage to suppress the development of Oryctes rhinoceros larvae in unproditioned plants (TM) in oil palm plantations. The experiment was conducted using a complete randomized design of two factors, namely eight treatments and three repeats, namely, the application of mushrooms M. anisopliae formulation of rice flour with a dose of 15 g / m2, 20 g / m2, 30 g / m2 and application of mushroom M. anisopliae dissolved in 1L water at doses of 15 g, 20 g, 25 g and 30 g. Observational data that the number of larvae infected and larval mortality were further analyzed by One Way Anova and further tested duncan with a real level of 5%. The observations showed differences in the number of infected larvae and the mortality of the larvae. The highest number of infected larvae and larval mortality occur in the treatment of M. anisopliae fungal application.

Abstract

The use of traps is one of the environmentally friendly pest controls. Insects have a preference for the colour of objects. The research aims to determine trap colours' effectiveness in catching rice plant pests. The research was conducted from  June to July 2021 in Depok, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region. The study used a descriptive observational method on an 8-week-old rice planting area. The colour traps used are white, red, green, yellow, and blue.  The experiment used a completely randomized design with five replications. The results showed that the yellow trap produced the most insect catches, namely 545 insects, and the white colour produced the lowest catch of 74 heads.  Pests that are heavily trapped in a row from the most to the least are Hydrelia sp, Leptocorisa oratorius,  Nephotettix virescens,  Pareaucosmetus sp, and Nilaparvata lugens. The most trapped is Hydrellia sp, as much as  78% of the total trapped insect pests. Effective trap installation time in the morning.
