Abstract

Identification of fruit flies and the methods of their control are essential to overcome the problem of pests. Using attractants is one of the control methods, which is environmental friendly and leaves no residue on plants. The study aimed to identify the species of fruit flies attacking Siam citrus plants and determine the most effective type of attractants to control their population. Identification was made on the fruit flies captured on attractants, and the study on attractants was conducted using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of four treatments and five replications. Four treatments (type of attractants) were petrogenol, rongit glue, chery glue, and king super glue. Two species of fruit flies, i.e., Bactrocera dorsalis and B. umbrosa, were found in the citrus plantation in Lambung Bukik Padang. The most effective attractants to control the fruit fly population were rongit glue and super king glue, which trapped the highest number of flies. Rongit glue trapped on the average of 94.2 individuals, and King superglue at 91.0 individuals per week. Rongit glue and super king glue can reduce fruit fly attacks. It is also part of an integrated pest management system to support sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

The gambir plant can serve as a raw material for botanical insecticides. Plant-based insecticides are made in nanoemulsion form to overcome the insecticide particle size problem. This study aims to obtain a gambir waste form that has the potential to be used as a botanical insecticide using nanotechnology. The laboratory experiments include preliminary and follow-up tests. The preliminary test involves testing each extract (liquid, solid, and raw gambir waste) at three concentrations using a completely randomized design with four replications. The follow-up test uses the residue method on leaves to test insecticidal activity. Creating nanoemulsion from gambir waste involves mixing organic and liquid phases through spontaneous emulsification. The insecticidal effectiveness of this nanoemulsion is tested on Croccidolomia pavonana. The results show that solid and liquid gambir waste has the potential to be used as alternative insecticides, which can influence the mortality of C. pavonana with an LC50 concentration of 0.22 (solid waste) and 0. 29 (liquid waste), while LC95 is 2.44 (solid waste) and 2.52 (liquid waste). The research promotes utilizing natural resources and innovative technologies, advancing environmentally conscious pest control methods, and fostering sustainable agricultural systems.
