The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of dwarf disease in banana plants in Ogan Komering Ulu, East Ogan Komering Ulu, and South Ogan Komering Ulu districts. It was implemented in 3 districts located in the South Sumatra region. This research was conducted using the purposive sampling method and mapping by determining coordinate points using a time-stamp camera on banana plantations in districts in South Sumatra. The research results obtained show that the percentage of BBTV attacks in the three districts, namely Ogan Komering Ulu, Ogan Komering Ulu Selatan, and Ogan Komering Ulu Timur, differs. A high percentage of attacks was found in Ogan Komering Ulu district at 57.50%, a moderate percentage of attacks was found in Ogan Komering Ulu Timur district at 29.72%, and a low percentage of attacks was found in Ogan Komering Ulu Selatan at 22.22%. Based on the research conducted, it can be concluded that the highest percentage of banana dwarf disease attacks due to the incidence of Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV) was found in Ogan Komering Ulu district with an attack rate of 57.50%, while the lowest percentage was found in Ogan Komering Ulu Selatan district at 22.22%. The most affected banana cultivar was kepok banana, while the BBTV vector, the banana aphid (Pentalonia nigronervosa), was only found in the Ogan Komering Ulu district area. ]]>
