Abstract

Bactrocera musae is one of the most damaging fruit fly species affecting tropical fruit crops, particularly bananas. In Indonesia, this species is classified as an A2 Quarantine Plant Pest due to its economic impact and potential to spread into key production and export regions. However, updated information on its spatial distribution in South Sulawesi remains limited. This study aimed to map the occurrence and distribution of B. musae through field surveillance. Fruit fly specimens were collected using traps baited with methyl eugenol and installed across selected survey locations representing fruit-producing areas. Morphological identification was performed using standard taxonomic keys for Bactrocera species. The survey results confirmed that the distribution of B. musae in South Sulawesi is relatively extensive. The pest was detected in Makassar City and the regencies of Gowa, Takalar, Jeneponto, Bulukumba, Bantaeng, Sinjai, and Bone. These areas are characterized by the presence of tropical fruit crops, including banana, mango, guava, and papaya, which may serve as suitable host plants and support population establishment. The confirmed presence of B. musae in multiple regions indicates the need for strengthened surveillance, early detection programs, and quarantine measures. The findings of this research provide important baseline data for future pest risk analysis and policy development, particularly regarding pest status determination and preventive actions in South Sulawesi and other vulnerable regions. Further studies on population ecology, host interactions, and management strategies are recommended to support more effective control efforts.

Abstract

One of the secondary pests of stored rice is Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). Damage caused by this insect includes fungal contamination and the release of benzoquinone-containing secretions, which may pose health risks to humans. Postharvest pest control commonly relies on synthetic fumigant insecticides, yet their use is associated with environmental and health concerns. Plant-derived fumigants offer a more eco-friendly alternative. This study aimed to evaluate the fumigant effects of plant powders from lime (Citrus × aurantifolia (Christm.) Swingle) and kaffir lime leaves (Citrus hystrix DC.) on the mortality of T. castaneum adult. The experiment employed a untreated, lime leaves, kaffir lime leaves, and a combination of lime + kaffir lime leaves with five replications. Adult mortality was recorded from 3 to 30 days after treatment. Results indicated that by the final observation on day 30, treatment effects were most distinct. Lime leaves (25.67%) and kaffir lime leaves (27.44%) produced significantly higher mortality than both the untreated and the combined treatment (F₃,₁₉ = 0.83, P < 0.05). The combined treatment resulted in only 17.67% mortality, indicating no synergistic effect between the two leaves powders. Mortality in the untreated group remained below 14% throughout the experiment. Lime and kaffir lime leaves, when used individually, exhibit promising fumigant activity against T. castaneum and may serve as potential botanical alternatives for postharvest pest management.
