Abstract

This study aims to explore the ecological dynamics of pest populations and their impact on the growth of maize (Zea mays L.) in tropical regions. Conducted in Central Lombok Regency—one of the major maize-producing areas in West Nusa Tenggara—the research combines quantitative field surveys with ecological analysis to investigate the relationship between environmental factors and pest activity. Two dominant pest species, Stenocranus pacificus and Spodoptera frugiperda, were observed through population density measurements, climatic condition monitoring, and crop management evaluations. The results indicate that pest fluctuations are significantly influenced by temperature, humidity, and plant spacing. High pest density adversely affects plant height, number of productive leaves, and leaf area. These findings emphasize the importance of ecosystem-based pest management as a preventive and adaptive strategy to maintain sustainable maize productivity in tropical agricultural systems.

Abstract

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) represents a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture, combining ecological balance, economic efficiency, and legal compliance into a unified framework. This study explores the multifaceted role of IPM in promoting environmentally responsible farming practices while ensuring long-term productivity. By reducing dependence on synthetic pesticides, IPM mitigates soil and water contamination, preserves biodiversity, and supports climate resilience. Economically, IPM enhances farmers’ competitiveness by lowering input costs, stabilizing yields, and improving market access through compliance with safety standards. Legally, IPM aligns with national agricultural regulations and international conventions, reinforcing institutional accountability and farmer protection against sanctions. The integration of ecological, economic, and legal dimensions demonstrates that IPM is not merely a pest control strategy but a comprehensive system for advancing food security and sustainable development. The findings emphasize that IPM implementation strengthens agricultural innovation, supports educational objectives in Indonesia, and contributes to global sustainability agendas.
