Abstract. Tricahyati T, Suparman, Irsan C. 2022. Natural enemies of Pentalonia nigronervosa, vector of Banana Bunchy Top Virus. Biodiversitas 23: 3675-3684. Pentalonia nigronervosa (Coquerel) is an important pest of banana. Instead of sucking liquid from banana phloem, P. nigronervosa also play an important role in transmitting Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV) from infected banana to healthy ones. If efforts are not made to control the aphid, existence of P. nigronervosa can increase in the banana field. The objective of this research was to find out the natural enemies of P. nigronervosa which may play significant role in controlling the aphid naturally. The results showed that natural enemies were in the forms of predator, parasitoid and pathogenic fungi. A total of 22 species of predator belonged to 5 families of insect, namely Coccinellidae, Forficulidae, Chelisochidae, Reduviidae and Syrphidae, and 4 families of Arachnida i.e. Oxyopidae, Araneidae, Salticidae, and Philodromidae. The result exhibited that one parasitoid belonged to family Brachonidae, and one hyper-parasitoid belonged to family Encrytidae. Furthermore, it was also observed that 3 species of entomopathogenic fungi infected aphids. The fungi belonged to genera Aspergillus and Beauveria. Each predator had different predation capacity, the highest was that of Forficula auricularia (23.67 ± 3.05) and Scymnus sp. (23.67 ± 1.52). Parasitoid Lipolexis bengalensis could parasitize P. nigronervosa at relatively high parasitic ability of 4.67 ± 23.65. The finding of various natural enemies of P. nigronervosa in South Sumatra could be considered as an alternative way to control the aphid and reduce the transmission rate of BBTV in the province. The use of natural enemies has no residual effects on the environment and is relatively cheaper compared to other control measurements.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the population and morphology of Pentalonia nigronervosa maintained on various AB-genome banana cultivars. The research was conducted using a Factorial Complete Random Design (CRD) with 4 banana cultivars and 3 replications. Indonesia was rich in horticultural crops, including bananas, which were widely cultivated in tropical regions for their high economic value. However, banana cultivation was often constrained by pest infestations, particularly aphids such as P. nigronervosa Coquerel, which can reduce plant productivity and act as vectors of important viral diseases. Therefore, studies on the population dynamics of P. nigronervosa across different organs of banana cultivars in the AB genome group were important for understanding pest distribution and for supporting effective pest management strategies. P. nigronervosa act as pests and vectors that can transmit diseases and result in a decrease in the productivity of banana plants. The population results of P. nigronervosa on plant part factors on days 5, 10, 15, and 20 on the leaf, stalk, and stems. The average population of P. nigronervosa was highest on day 15 at 45.67 in the stem section. The lowest average population on banana plant leaves on days 15 and 20 was 0.00. Population results of P. nigronervosa in the 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th banana cultivars in the barangan, lilin, susu, and raja bulu cultivars. The average population of P. nigronervosa was highest on the 15th day of the banana susu plant cultivar 36.33. The average population was lowest on 20-day cultivars of bananas barangan and lilin 0.00.
