Abstract

Synthetic pesticides are one of the pest control substances most widely used by highland vegetable farmers, including insecticides and fungicides. This research aims to evaluate the use of pesticides by highland vegetable farmers in Lembang and Cisarua Districts, West Bandung Regency. The methods used in this research are surveys and observations. Interviews using questionnaires were conducted with 90 highland vegetable farmers, in-depth interviews with extension workers and exporter institutions. Secondary data was obtained from the horticultural crop agriculture service and the Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry Extension Center. These data were analyzed descriptively regarding the knowledge, awareness, and skills of highland vegetable farmers in using pesticides. The results of the research show that highland vegetable farmers in Lembang and Cisarua Districts, West Bandung Regency, know the information on labels, especially dosage, target pests, method of application, and type of plant, also know the function of pesticides, dangers, prohibitions on disposing of pesticide waste, and the reasons. Farmers know the SOP for pesticide use from promotional materials, and direct training, as well as from extension workers. Farmers buy and use their own pesticides at agricultural shops, considering the target organisms and efficacy based on information from fellow farmers. Farmers mix two types of pesticides with water as a solvent,  put it first in a bucket, and stir with a stirrer. Pesticides are applied at 10.00-15.00 until they are finished, then wash the hands. Pesticides are stored in a locked place, such as a warehouse, and out of reach of children, and the packaging is burned. Farmers need to be given counseling and training on the correct SOPs, starting from preparation to handling spray equipment and waste.

Abstract

Macrosiphoniella sanborni is a main concern in the production of ornamental chrysanthemum plants. Farmers commonly use chemical treatment to control aphids, but this can harmful the environment and humans. Therefore, alternative environmentally control is needed, one of which is by using botanical pesticides such as Azadirachta indica and Barringtonia asiatica. This research aimed to test the effectiveness of the neem and bitung seed extract against M. sanborni pests on chrysanthemum plants. This research was conducted at the Chrysanthemum cultivation Mr. Syarif’s screen house in Karyawangi village, Parongpong district, West Java, which began in January 2021 to May 2021. This research used an experimental method using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) which each experiment consisted of 10 treatments and each treatment was repeated 3 times. The tested treatments are neem and bitung seed extract in different concentration, and controls. The results of this study revealed that the effective treatment of M. sanborni on chrysanthemum is the extract of bitung seed at the concentration of 2%. Bitung seed extract pesticides can be used as an alternative synthetic pesticide to control population of M. sanborni.

Abstract

Strawberry production is often decreased by plant pest infestation in the field. One of the major pests is Aphis gossypii. Strawberry farmers typically use synthetic chemical pesticides to control aphid, however, this can pose serious environmental and human health problems if done continuously. The use of synthetic chemical pesticides can be minimized by using botanical pesticides, as they are safer for human health and the environment. Botanical pesticides that can be used include neem seed extract (Azadirachta indica) and sea poison tree (Barringtonia asiatica). The objective of this research was to test the effectiveness of neem and sea poison tree seed oil formulations against A. gossypii on strawberry plants. The experiment was conducted at CV Bumi Agro Technology, Lembang, from April 2023 to August 2023, arranged in the randomized complete block design consisting of 7 treatments with 4 replications. The treatments were application of neem and sea poison tree seed oil at different concentrations, as follow: (A) Control, (B) Abamectin 0.15%, (C) Neem Oil 2%, (D) Neem seed oil 50 EC 2%, (E) Neem seed oil 50 EC 1%, (F) Sea poison tree seed oil 30 SC 2%, and (G) Sea poison tree seed oil 30 SC 1%. The results showed that neem and sea poison tree seed oil formulations at the concentration of 2% were effective in controlling A. gossypii on strawberry plants.

Abstract

Chili plants are highly susceptible to infestations by various Plant Pest Organisms (OPT) such as fruit flies, thrips, leaf-eating caterpillars, and fruit borers, as well as diseases like anthracnose, root rot, and leaf spot. To manage these threats, most farmers still rely on synthetic chemical pesticides. Improper pesticide application—particularly in terms of dosage and frequency—can lead to pesticide residues on harvested crops and pose risks to both the environment and human health. This study aims to analyze farmers' behavior in pesticide use and to measure pesticide residue levels in chili samples collected from three major production centers in West Java: Arjasari, Lembang, and Garut. A mixed-method approach combining qualitative interviews and quantitative High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis was used to evaluate six active pesticide ingredients. The results showed that most farmers applied pesticides beyond the recommended dosage and frequency. Residues of chlorothalonil and broflanilide were detected in the samples, with concentrations exceeding the Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs). These findings highlight the urgent need for education and stricter oversight regarding pesticide application practices among farmers.

Abstract

Root-knot disease is a major disease that attacks tomato plants. This disease is caused by the Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.), which can lead to significant losses in tomato crops. Farmers commonly use synthetic nematicides to control these nematodes, but excessive use of chemical agents can have negative effects. Tamarind leaf is a potential alternative that can be used as a botanical nematicide to control the nematodes that cause root-knot disease in tomato plants because it contains various secondary metabolite compounds, such as flavonoids. This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of various concentrations of tamarind leaf aqueous extract in controlling Meloidogyne spp. nematodes. The experiment was carried out from May to July 2025 in the Plant Nematology Laboratory Division and Greenhouse of the Department of Plant Pests and Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran. The experiment used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with seven treatments and four replications, consisting of a control, tamarind leaf aqueous extract at 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, and carbofuran at 2g/tanamn. The results showed that the application of Tamarindus indica leaf water extract was effective in suppressing root-knot disease (Meloidogyne spp.) in tomato plants. T. indica leaf water extract at a concentration of 6% can suppress the number of galls on tomato plant roots by up to 64.91% and can suppress the number of second juvenile (J2) Meloidogyne spp. in 100 ml of soil by up to 71.18%.
