Abstract

Fusarium wilt is one of the most destructive soil-borne diseases threatening global food security. For decades, its control has relied heavily on synthetic chemical fungicides; however, their extensive use has led to pathogen resistance, environmental degradation, and risks to human health. Trichoderma has been widely investigated as a potential biological control agent due to its diverse mechanisms of action. This study aims to map the global research landscape on the application of Trichoderma in controlling Fusarium wilt through bibliometric analysis and literature review. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database (2015–2025) using selected keywords and analyzed with VOSviewer and Biblioshiny to identify publication trends, author collaborations, institutions, countries, and keyword clusters. The results indicate a marked increase in publications since 2020, with major contributions originating from India, China, and Egypt. The evolution of keywords indicates a shift in research focus from basic mechanistic studies to practical field applications. The literature review confirms the effectiveness of Trichoderma in suppressing disease and enhancing the productivity of agricultural commodities, although challenges persist in formulation, variability, and regulatory frameworks. These findings provide an important scientific basis for guiding future research, strengthening international collaboration, and supporting sustainable agricultural strategies that utilize biological control agents.

Abstract

Anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides remains a major constraint in horticultural production, particularly in tropical regions. The cutinase enzyme plays an essential role in fungal pathogenicity by facilitating penetration of the host cuticle during the early stages of infection. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by Bacillus velezensis have been reported to exhibit antifungal activity. Inhibiting the cutinase enzyme disrupts the biochemical mechanism used by C. gloeosporioides to breach the plant’s waxy cuticle. By blocking cutin degradation, this anti-virulence strategy prevents initial infection and tissue invasion. However, information regarding their molecular interactions with cutinase is still limited. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of B. velezensis-derived VOCs as inhibitors of the cutinase enzyme from C. gloeosporioides using an in-silico approach. Antifungal bioactivity was predicted using PASS Server analysis, while binding affinity and inhibition constant (Ki) values were determined through molecular docking simulations with AutoDock Vina. Molecular interactions between VOC ligands and the target enzyme were analyzed based on their involvement with key active-site residues. The Pa–Pi analysis indicated that most VOCs, particularly terpenoids and medium-chain alcohols, exhibited higher predicted antifungal activity than inactivity. Molecular docking results showed that several VOCs interacted stably with the active site of cutinase, involving key residues Ser57, Ser136, and Gln137. Among the evaluated compounds, β-ionone exhibited the strongest binding affinity, as indicated by the lowest binding energy and inhibition constant. These results suggested that VOCs produced by B. velezensis, especially terpenoid compounds, had potential as biocontrol-based antifungal agents through inhibition of cutinase activity and required further validation through in vitro and in vivo studies.

Abstract

Abstrak: Peningkatan produktivitas dan keberlanjutan budidaya tanaman pepaya di Kabupaten Ogan Ilir sangat bergantung pada efektivitas pengendalian Organisme Pengganggu Tanaman (OPT) termasuk hama seperti tungau dan kutu putih. Kedua hama tersebut terutama sering mengalami peningkatan serangan selama musim kemarau, kondisi curah hujan rendah dan kelembaban udara. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat bertujuan untuk meningkatkan hardskill dan softkill petani mitra dalam menerapkan pengendalian secara terpadu yang ramah lingkungan (PHT). PHT ini memadukan beberapa metode pengendalian OPT agar hasilnya efisien dan efektif. Metode kegiatan yang digunakan meliputi sosialisasi, bimbingan teknis, dan praktik langsung di lapangan mengenai penggunaan sulfur dan surfaktan sebagai alternatif insektisida yang lebih ramah lingkungan. Kegiatan diikuti oleh 25 orang petani yang tergabung dalam kelompok tani pepaya. Evaluasi kegiatan dilakukan dengan wawancara serta pengisian angket untuk mengukur pemahaman serta keterampilan peserta sebelum dan sesudah kegiatan pengabdian. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan adanya peningkatan skill dan pemahaman mitra sebesar 57% dalam mengidentifikasi morfologi hama serta penerapan teknik pengendalian mandiri. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat kepada kelompok tani pepaya di Ogan Ilir efektif diterapkan petani dalam menekan populasi hama secara berkelanjutan.Abstract: The productivity and sustainability of papaya cultivation in Ogan Ilir Regency are highly dependent on the effective management of Plant Pests (OPT), particularly mite and mealybug infestations. These pests typically exhibit increased population outbreaks during the dry season, triggered by low rainfall and low humidity levels. This community service program aimed to enhance both the hardskills and softskills of partner farmers in implementing environmentally friendly Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM integrates various control methods to achieve efficient and effective results. The methodology employed included socialization, technical guidance, and direct field demonstrations regarding the use of sulfur and surfactants as eco-friendly insecticide alternatives. The program involved 25 farmers from a local farmer group. Evaluation was conducted through interviews and questionnaires to measure the participants' knowledge and skills before and after the intervention. The results indicated a 57% increase in the partners' skills and understanding concerning pest morphological identification and the application of independent control techniques. Consequently, this community service activity in Ogan Ilir has proven effective in empowering farmers to suppress pest populations sustainably.
