Abstract

Green mold disease (Penicillium digitatum Sacc.) is one of the main problems in citrus fruits. Some studies had made use of biopesticides in treating postharvest diseases. Some studies reported that plant extracts can suppress various pathogens caused to have antifungal characteristics. One of the plants that are widely used as an extract is green betel leaf (Piper betle) and red betel (Piper ornatum).. This study aims to determine the effect of water extracts from green betel leaf  and red betel leaf in suppressing P. digitatum in dekopon citrus (Citrus reticulata Shiranui). The experiment used the experimental method of Completely Randomized Design with 7 treatments and 3 replications. The results showed that the water extracts of green betel leaf and red betel can inhibit the pathogen P. digitatum both in vitro and in vivo. The red betel leaf water extract at concentration of 10% was able to inhibit the colony diameter of P. digitatum in vitro at 43.61% and green betel lef extract at concentration of 10%  was 39.34%. The best inhibition of green water extract and red betel the diameter of green mold disease on dekopon fruit was 15.95% and 39.74%, respectively. The water extracts of green betel leaf and the red betel leaf were able to inhibit green mold disease in vivo successively was 0.52-19.62% and 17.64-52.67%. The treatment of 10% green betel water extract was able to suppress the growth of green mold disease in dekopon fruit was 19.62% and 10% red betel water extract inhibition was 19.62%.

Abstract

Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is a new pest that attacks maize plantations in Indonesia. Local farmers generally use synthetic pesticides to control the pest that can cause environmental and health problems, and in the future will trigger resistance of the pest to insecticide. This study aimed to determine the potential of Sphagneticola trilobata flower extracts on mortality, larval weight, weight of food consumption, and inhibition of feeding activity in S. frugiperda larvae. The research method is completely randomized design with 6 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments consisted of control treatments, S. trilobata flower extract 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5%. Mortality, larval weights and food consumption data were analyzed using analysis of variance. The results showed that the S. trilobata flower extract at the highest concentration of 5% resulted in larval mortality of 72.22. These results indicated that the S. trilobata flower extract was not effective against S. frugiperda. However, S. trilobata extract can influence other biological aspects, such as feeding activity and growth of S. frugiperda larvae. Tratment of 5% of S. trilobata extract resulted in weight of feed comsumption of  0.123 g with inhibition of feeding activity of 66.11%, and average weight of larvae of 0.048 g that were lower than control treatment.

Abstract

The Coffee Berry Borer (CBB) (Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari)(Coleoptera:Curculionidae:Scolytinae) is a major pest of coffee plants. It caused damage to coffee berries and economic losses for farmers. Various technologies have been carried out to control CBB, including cultural biological, chemical, and sanitation. However, of the technology control of CBB,  only a few literature that discussed the effectiveness and efficiency, both socially, economically and their impact on the environment. Thus, this paper aimed to: 1) review research CBB control technology based on characteristics; and 2) assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of the technology in controlling CBB based on compatibility, applicability, availability, safety, sustainability, affordability and economic. This study was conducted using a systematic review of the literature from the search engine Science.direct, Google.scholar, which was identified from 1996 to 2020. The search resulted showed that there were 59 articles related to CBB control technology and were divided into several types, namely 22 articles that discuss technology in cultural, 31 articles that discuss biological control, 5 articles that discuss technology chemically, and 1 articles that discusses orchard sanitation technology. CBB control technologies that are considered to have compatibility, safety, sustainability, affordability and economic are cultural, biological control and sanitation. However, if it is related to applicability and availability, cultural and sanitation can be the main choice. Many studies on biological technology showing advantages compared to other technologies, thus, biological control technology as a preventive and monitoring effort is still being developed. One of them is developing biological technology with a landscape approach.

Abstract

The entomopathogenic fungus Fusarium cf. solani can be used to control brown planthopper. The study aim to obtain the frequency of spraying of the Fusarium cf. solani against brown planthopper at different altitudes. Experiment by planting IR 64 seedlings on plots of 4 m x 4 m, spacing of  25 cm x 25 cm, 10 tons of compost/ha, and 100 % N, P, K. The experiment was carried out with a 2 factors of RCBD. Factor I is land altitude < 100 m above sea level (P1),  100 – 500 m above sea level (P2), and > 500 m above sea level (P3). Factor II is the frequency of spraying the bioinsecticide of the Fusarium cf. solani consisting of no spraying (F0), one time (F1); and twice (F2). Each treatment was made 4 replications. Fungal bioinsecticide concentration Fusarium cf. solani used was 106 spores/ml with a dose of 300 L bioinsecticide/ha. The variables measured were intensity attack, pest population; and yield of rice. Rice yields included the number of productive tillers, fresh plant weight, dry plant weight, percentage of grain content, and soil productivity. The data were analyzed by F test and continued with Duncan's test with 95 % confidence level. The results showed that the frequency of spraying Fusarium cf. solani had no effect on the pest populations, intensity of damage, and production of rice yields. Altitude affects the pest populations, intensity of crop damage, as well as parameters of rice yields. However, there was no interaction between the spraying frequency of Fusarium cf. solani with the height of the experimental site to the experimental parameters.

Abstract

Sweet potatoes are important food staples in tropical sub-Saharan Africa. Orange flesh sweet potato (OFSP) varieties are especially important for combating vitamin A deficiencies and nutrition-induced blindness. Fungal leaf spots are one of the many challenges constraining its production in Umudike, Southeast, Nigeria. The aims of this experiment were to isolate the causal fungi of leaf spots of OFSP and to attempt their control using aqueous extracts of banana peels, plantain peels and plantain leaf in vitro. Mycotic agents isolated from infected plant were Verticillium longisporum, Rhizoctonia solani, Penicillium chrysogenum and Aspergillus niger. Pathogenicity test conducted on the organisms revealed that the first three pecies were actively pathogenic, with infected sweet potato showing irregular brown spots/blights surrounded by chlorotic hallo around leaf veins and margins of the laminae; while A. niger showed weak infection of the plant.  In the laboratory, four concentrations (10%, 25%, 50% and 75%) of ripe and unripe plantain peels, ripe and unripe banana peels, and senescent and new plantain leaves, griseovid® (a standard antifungal) and control (sterile water) were evaluated in vitro for inhibition of mycelial elongation of the test myco-pathogens associated with the leaf spot disease of the crop. The experiment was laid out as 3 x 4 x 8 factorial in CRD with 3 replications. The botanicals significantly (P≤0.05) and differentially retarded radial growth of the fungus over the control in a dose-dependent manner. However, the fungitoxicity of the botanicals were inferior but compared favourably with the standard antifungal griseofulvin (griseovid®).  Exploiting the potency of these readily available, cost effective and eco-friendly agro-wastes against these fungal pathogens causing leaf blight of sweet potato will not only reduce the hazards and pollution challenges associated with use of synthetic pesticides but also increase food production in developing countries where synthetic fungicides are expensive and out of reach of low-input farmers.
