<![CDATA[Eggplant pest attack, does not only decrease quantity of the yields, but also the quality. Because of this, it needs effort to use resistant eggplant againt the pests. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the intensity of pest attack on several types of eggplant and their effect on the yield. The design used in the study was a completely randomized block design (RCBD). The research was consisted of 4 treatments with 3 replications. The treatments were 4 types of eggplant that were purple , white eggplant, green eggplant, and green streak white. Data were analyzedby F Test, if it was significantly different, by then it was continued with DMRT (Duncan’s Multiple Range Test) at the level of 5%. Pest attack intensity of grasshopper (Orthroptera: Acrididae), caterpillars (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), ladybird Epilachna sp. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), leafhopper Amrasca sp. (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), and Aphis sp. (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on the eggplant types showed there was no significantly difference. The intensity of pest attacks which were not significantly different in all types of eggplant along with the results of analysis of plant height and number of fruits which also showed there was no significantly difference in all type eggplants.]]>
