Abstract

Spodoptera frugiperda is a major invasive pest of maize that requires effective control strategies. Entomopathogenic fungi are promising biological control agents because they can infect larvae and disrupt insect development. However, information on indigenous fungal isolates from West Sumatra, Indonesia remains limited. Moreover, their effects on post-larval development of S. frugiperda are still poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the pathogenicity of several fungal isolates against S. frugiperda under laboratory conditions. The experiment was arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with eight treatments and four replications. The treatments consisted of six fungal isolates (Beauveria bassiana BBWS, B. bassiana BBPD, Metarhizium anisopliae B22C, M. anisopliae KRJ, Trichoderma asperellum A116, T. asperellum S2D11) and two controls (sterile distilled water and cypermethrin). Fungal suspensions were applied to second-instar larvae at 1 × 10⁸ conidia mL⁻¹. All data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by the LSD test at the 5% level. This study showed that the entomopathogenic fungal isolates tested affected the survival and postlarval development of S. frugiperda under laboratory conditions. The fungal treatments caused larval mortality ranging from 40 - 70% and reduced the proportion of larvae into the pupal and adult stages. Among the tested isolates, B. bassiana BBWS was the most effective, causing the highest larval mortality, the shortest LT₅₀, and the lowest pupal and adult formation. However, further research is needed to confirm the pathogenicity mechanisms of the isolates, their conidial viability and stability during storage, and their efficacy under greenhouse and field conditions.

Abstract

The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) is one of the main pests of rice plants. This pest attack can cause crop failure or puso. Biological control of this pest can be carried out using the entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae. The ability of this fungus to control pests is influenced by the source of the isolate. The purpose of this study was to obtain isolates of M. anisopliae, which is virulent to N. lugens. This study used an experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD) in six treatments and five replications. There were five isolates of M. anisopliae used and one control. M. anisopliae was applied to nymphs and adults of N. lugens with a concentration of 108 conidia/mL. The research revealed that all M. anisopliae isolates tested were virulent against N. lugens nymphs and adults. The most virulent isolate for the two stages of BPH was Met3B, which was collected from the leek rhizosphere. The isolate caused an adult mortality rate of 52%, nymph mortality of 60% in 10 days after application, and adults formed after application was only 37.33%.

Abstract

Rhizobacteria is bacteria that found in the root zone of plants. Rhizobacteria can act as biocontrol agents against Fusarium fujikuroi, the fungus that causes bakanae disease in rice plants. This study aimed to obtain rhizobacteria isolates from the roots of rice plants and to determine their characteristics as biocontrol agents against F. fujikuroi in vitro. This research consisted of two stages: 1) Exploration of rhizobacteria from the roots of rice plants in Padang City, West Sumatera, Indonesia and 2) Antagonistic character of Rhizobacteria against F. fujikuroi in vitro including: antagonistic test, hydrolytic enzyme production test (protease, amylase, and chitinase), and HCN compound production test. Based on the research, 32 rhizobacterial isolates were obtained as candidates for biological agents. All rhizobacterial isolates can suppress the growth of Fusarium fujikuroi in vitro with an inhibition percentage of 19.43-73.53%. The 4 best isolates in suppressing the growth of Fusarium fujikuroi are Kr 2.2 from Kuranji, KG 2.2 from Korong Gadang, PA 2.1 and PA 1.2 from Pasar Ambacang with an inhibition percentage of 60.39-73.53%. The four isolates are also able to produce hydrolysis enzymes (protease, amylase and chitinase) and HCN compounds

Abstract

The brown spot disease (BSD) caused by Helminthosporium oryzae in rice can lead to yield losses of up to 45 %. Using endophytic bacterial consortia as a biological agent is one of the most potential control methods for resisting the disease. This study aimed to obtain an endophytic bacterial consortium with the best efficacy in controlling BSD and its ability to enhance rice plant growth. Statistical analysis in this study was made using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) in a randomized experimental design comprising five treatments with five replications. The treatments included: A (Serratia marcescens ULG1E4 + S. marcescens JB1E3), B (S. marcescens ULG1E4 + S. marcescens JB1E3 + Serratia marcescens JB1E2), C (Bacillus sp. SJI + Serratia marcescens ULG1E4), D (positive control), and E (negative control). Testing was conducted in planta, with the introduction of the bacterial consortium (10⁸ cells/mL) via seed and root soaking methods. Subsequently, the leaves of 30-day-old rice plants were inoculated with H. oryzae by spraying a conidial suspension of 10⁶ conidia/ml. Parameters observed included disease progression (incubation period, incidence, and severity), seedling growth metrics (height, leaf number, root length, fresh and dry biomass), and overall plant development (plant height, leaf number, and tiller count). The results demonstrated that the consortium of Serratia marcescens ULG1E4, Serratia marcescens JB1E3, and Serratia marcescens JB1E2 effectively controlled BSD, achieving a 53.69% reduction in disease severity and promoted rice plant growth, evidenced by a 30.63% increase in leaf number
