Rice (Oryza sativa) is the primary crop that produces rice and plays an important role in supporting Indonesia’s economy. One of the major diseases that frequently infects rice plants is blast disease, which is caused by the fungus Pyricularia oryzae. As a more environmentally friendly alternative, the use of microorganisms as biological agents can inhibit and suppress pathogen development su…
ABSTRACT Ceratocystis wilt, which attacks duku plants (Lansium domesticum), has become one of the main factors contributing to the decline in duku production in South Sumatra in recent years. The pathogen Ceratocystis fimbriata is known to be aggressive, easily spread, and difficult to control using conventional methods, thus requiring more environmentally friendly control strategies, one of wh…

Ceratocystis fimbriata is an important pathogen in duku (Lansium domesticum Corr.) plants that causes stem cancer, tissue rot, and rapid plant death, thereby significantly impacting duku production in South Sumatra. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of phosphite acid (K₃PO₃) in inducing duku resistance through in vitro and in vivo testing. The study was conducted using a complet…
Rice blast disease is an important disease caused by the fungus P. oryzae, which can lead to significant yield losses. An alternative control method that can be used to control the attack of the pathogenic fungus is by using plant extracts. One type of plant that has a high ability to suppress the rate of blast development is using turmeric rhizome extract. Therefore, this research was conducte…
