The duku plant (Lansium domesticum Corr.) is a leading horticultural commodity in South Sumatra, but in recent years it has experienced a decline in productivity due to wilt disease caused by the Ceratocystis pathogen. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the compound Acibenzolar-S-Methyl (ASM) as a resistance inducer in suppressing the development of Ceratocystis disease in duku pl…
Oil palm is the largest plantation commodity in Indonesia. The oil palm industry continues to grow but faces various challenges, one of which is pest infestation. The main pest is the nettle caterpillar, which damages the leaves and can inhibit photosynthesis, ultimately reducing yield. Control of this pest can be carried out using environmentally friendly entomopathogenic bacteria. This study …
Chili pepper (Capcium annum L.) is one of the high-value vegetable crops in Indonesia. Anthracnose disease in chili peppers is an important disease caused by the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum sp, which leads to significant yield losses. This alternative disease control method that can be used to reduce attacks from this disease is by utilizing the natural plant turmeric rhizomes. Therefore, th…
Chili pepper plants (Capsicum frutescens) are one of the commodities with high economic value, so they need to be continuously developed. In addition, chili peppers have good antioxidant activity and a relatively high content of phenols and capsaicinoids. However, chili production often faces challenges, including attacks from plant-disturbing organisms (OPT), especially fruit fly pests. Fruit …
Papaya is a fruit plant from tropical regions that is one of the horticultural commodities frequently consumed in Indonesia. In its cultivation, there are challenges, one of which is anthracnose disease. This disease can be controlled using endophytic microorganisms. This research aims to identify endophytic fungi in papaya plants and their inhibitory effect on the growth of anthracnose disease…
Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) is a major pest of Brassicaceae crops and is capable of infesting plants at any developmental stage, with severe infestations potentially leading to total yield loss. Biological control of P. xylostella can be implemented through the application of entomopathogenic fungal endophytes that inhabit Brassicaceae plant tissues. Therefore, this research …
Plutella xylostella is the major pest of crops from the Brassicaceae family, causing economic losses of up to USD 4–5 billion annually worldwide. This study aims to determine the attraction of parasitoids to volatile compounds as potential attractants for egg parasitoids of P. xylostella treated with the fungus Beauveria bassiana. The research will employ a Randomized Block Design (RBD) using…
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) was a perennial crop that contributed to economic value however, attacks by the nettle caterpillar (Setothosea asigna) caused a reduction in yield. This study aimed to control the pest by utilizing its natural enemy, the Eocanthecona furcellata, and by using refugia plants as attractants for the predator. The experiment used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) con…
Plutella xylostella is a pest insect that causes the most damage to plants in the Brassicaceae family, with losses reaching up to US$4–5 billion. This study aimed to examine the attraction of parasitoids to pakchoi that had been induced with the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae, eggs, and larvae of P. xylostella, and whether these treatments could attract Trichogramma sp. parasi…
Spodoptera litura is an important pest that attacks the foliage of various crops, including those belonging to the Brassicaceae family. This research aimed to determine the effect of endophytic entomopathogenic fungal induction in pak choi seeds as a potential attractant for egg parasitoids. The research employed a randomized block design, and the assays were conducted using an olfactometer acr…
Spodoptera frugiperda is a polyphagous pest that causes significant losses in agricultural crops and its symptoms can cause significant yield losses if not managed properly. Parasitoids are one of the biological agents that are widely used in controlling the new pest, S. frugiperda, which attacks corn plants in Indonesia. Especially Telenomus remus, which is effective to control S.frugiperda. T…
