Abstract

Taro is an important agricultural commodity with considerable prospects for international market competition. However, its cultivation faces several challenges, particularly pathogen infections that can lead to substantial yield losses. Conducting a disease inventory in taro plants is essential for effective disease management and serves as a preliminary step in developing resistant taro varieties. This study aimed to document diseases affecting 38 accessions of taro plants. The research was conducted from August to October 2021 at the Ciparanje Jatinangor Experimental Field and the Phytopathology Laboratory within the Department of Plant Pests and Diseases at the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran, located in Sumedang Regency. The methodology employed both qualitative and quantitative descriptive approaches. Data collection involved observing the incidence and severity of diseases, as well as identifying the pathogens responsible for the diseases. A total of 292 taro plants were examined during this study. The diseases identified included brown leaf spot (Cladosporium colocasiae), shot hole (Phoma sp.), orange leaf spot (Neojohnstonia colocasiae), white leaf spot (putative Pseudocercospora colocasiae), and leaf blight (Phytophthora colocasiae), along with other symptoms suspected to be caused by root pathogens and viruses.The most prevalent disease observed at the experimental site was brown spot disease, while leaf blight was identified as the most damaging. The incidence of leaf spot and leaf blight reached 100% across nearly all accessions of taro planted at the research site, with the highest severity of disease recorded at 49.65%.

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.
