Abstract

Different cultivation techniques for rice (Oryza sativa L.) are known to affect arthropod populations and diversity levels. This research was conducted to study how arthropod diversity can be affected by different cultivation techniques. The research was carried out from October 2022 to March 2023. Arthropod diversity observations were carried out in the organic rice field of Kampung Pertanian Organik Brenjonk and a conventional rice field belonging to a farmer in Penanggungan Village, Trawas District, Mojokerto Regency. Data were collected weekly for 12 observations. Arthropods were collected using passive methods, such as pitfall and yellow sticky traps, and active methods, such as sweep netting and handpicking. The data were analyzed to assess the diversity level. The results showed more arthropods in the organic rice field, with 1815 individuals consisting of 4 classes, 13 orders, 52 families, 70 genera, and 74 morphospecies. In contrast, in the conventional rice field, 1028 individuals were found, consisting of 3 classes, ten orders, 28 families, 32 genera, and 33 morphospecies. The calculation results of arthropod diversity levels showed that the organic field is better than the conventional field.

Abstract

This study investigated the potential of the fungi Trichoderma viridae and Trichoderma harzianum in degrading the fungicide mancozeb. The research was conducted from May to October 2021 at the Plant Diseases Laboratory and Toxicology Laboratory, Department of Pests and Plant Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Brawijaya. The study comprised three stages. The first stage involved a preliminary test to assess the ability of T. viridae and T. harzianum to grow in media containing mancozeb-based fungicides. The second stage focused on evaluating the degradation of mancozeb using a bioassay, with the primary observation parameter being the biomass of T. viridae and T. harzianum. In the third stage, the mancozeb degradation process was assessed in vitro, with the observation parameters including the diameter of the pathogenic fungus Fusarium sp. and the percentage change in its diameter. Results demonstrated that T. viridae and T. harzianum could grow in media contaminated with mancozeb up to a concentration of 2 grams per liter. Furthermore, both fungi showed potential in degrading mancozeb, as evidenced by the increased growth of Fusarium sp. in treated media. It indicates that the application of T. viridae and T. harzianum reduces the toxicity of mancozeb. A t-test revealed that while there were differences between T. viridae and T. harzianum in their ability to degrade mancozeb, these differences were not statistically significant.

Abstract

Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is an invasive pest originally from Central America. The S. frugiperda attack was first documented in Indonesia in 2019. Due to its voracious feeding habits, S. frugiperda can lead to significant losses. This study aims to provide insights into the  developmental patterns, births, and deaths of S. frugiperda, utilizing corn as the main host and spinach as an alternative host. The research was conducted at the Pest Laboratory and wire house of  Department of Plant Pests and Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Brawijaya from February 2023 to April 2023. This study included two treatments and ten replicates, requiring a total of 500 eggs with 25 individuals for each replicate. The results showed that the survival curve and survival rate of S. frugiperda in both treatments were classified as type I curves. The values of gross reproduction rate (GRR), net reproduction rate (Ro), intrinsic growth (r), and average generation length (T) in corn leaves were 1,280.20; 518.48; 0.27; 30.79, respectively.  In contrast, the corresponding values for spinach leaves were 927.09; 322.15; 0.21, 36.23. Based on the biological data and demographic parameters, it  can be concluded that spinach plants  may serve as viable as alternative hosts for S. frugiperda.

Abstract

Mustard greens (Brassica juncea L.) are vegetables that are widely liked by the public because they have benefits for body health. Mustard greens have benefits because they contain carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, 220 mg Ca, 38 mg P, vitamin A 6.4 mg, vitamin B 0.09 mg, and vitamin C 102 mg. Leaf spot disease caused by Alternaria sp. is one of the causes of the decline in mustard greens. This study aims to determine the effect of fungicide with the active ingredient pyraclostrobin on leaf spot disease and phylloplan fungal diversity in mustard plants with different concentrations. The study was carried out by applying fungicides with 6 treatments and 4 replicates with concentrations of 0.350 ml/l, 0.375 ml/l, 0.400 ml/l, 0.425 ml/l, and 0.450 ml/l. The results showed that fungicide with the active ingredient pyraclostrobin affected leaf spot disease and phylloplane fungal diversity in mustard plants. The intensity of leaf spot disease and phylloplane fungal diversity in the control treatment was higher than that of the fungicide treatment.

Abstract

Rice is one of the food crops that is a basic need for the people of Indonesia, but rice production in Indonesia is unstable every year because of various factors, one of which is plant diseases, such as Bacterial Leaf Blight (BLB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae bacteria. Active ingredients that can be used to control bacteria are copper-based active ingredients. In addition, increasing the concentration or adding surfactant in pesticide formulations can increase the effectiveness of active ingredients. This research was conducted at the Plant Disease Laboratory, Plant Pests and Diseases Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Brawijaya and Ketangi Hamlet, Tegalgondo Village, Karangploso District, Malang Regency. The In Vitro research design used a complete randomized design (CRD) and the In Vivo used a randomized complete block design (RCBD)consisting of 7 treatments and 4 replications. The parameters observed were inhibition, intensity of BLB, phytotoxicity, yield, and efficacy level. The results showed that treating copper oxide 60 WP+Surfactant, copper oxide 60 WP, copper hydroxide 80 WP+Surfactant, and copper hydroxide 80 WP effectively controlled bacterial leaf blight. While the treatment of copper oxide Zn 60 WP and copper oxy sulfate 345 SC was ineffective in controlling BLB. Each treatment of copper-based active ingredients at a dose of 2 grams and 2 mL did not show symptoms of phytotoxicity.

Abstract

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) is a vegetable with significant potential for cultivation due to its high economic value. However, cabbage production experiences fluctuations each year primarily due to pest factors. To control these pests, natural enemies such as ants can be utilized. Ants are highly sensitive to changes in their habitat, making them known as environmental bioindicators. Additionally, landscape structure can influence the presence of insects, including predators and parasitoids. This study aims to determine the effects of cultivation methods, habitat conditions, and landscape composition on ant diversity and abundance. The research was conducted from November 2022 to May 2023 across 12 fields in four different sub-districts: Pujon, Tumpang, Poncokusumo, and Purwodadi. The research process included landscape mapping and characterization, determination of observation plots, trap installation and sampling, species identification, collection of supporting data, and data analysis. The study yielded a total of 4,053 individuals representing 26 genera and 52 morphospecies. The ant species with the highest abundance was Lophomyrmex sp.3, while the greatest diversity was observed within the genus Tetramorium. Insecticide application and plant age did not significantly affect ant diversity and abundance; however, elevation did influence ant abundance. Additionally, landscape composition, particularly the class area (CA) of natural habitats, correlated positively with both ant diversity and abundance.

Abstract

Cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) is a horticultural crop that is widely cultivated in Indonesia and has high economic value. However, it is not uncommon for the cultivation process to encounter several obstacles, one of which is caused by the Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV). One of the actions that can be taken to control this disease is to use induction agents derived from plant extracts. The plants that can be used as inducers are cherry plants (Muntingia calabura). However, research on the use of cherry leaf extract is rarely applied, especially against the TMV virus.  Thus, this research needs to be conducted to determine the effect of cherry leaf extract on TMV attack on cayenne pepper plants. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) in vivo with 6 treatments and 4 replications. The treatment given was cherry leaf extract with different application frequencies at a concentration of 5%. Parameters observed included the disease incubation period, disease intensity, plant growth, and assessment of plant resistance. The results showed that applying cherry leaf extract with an application frequency of 4 times extended the incubation period of TMV and reduced the intensity of TMV disease, with values of 17.88 days after inoculation and 11.20%, respectively. This treatment resulted in a plant resistance category of "resistant." Additionally, the application of cherry leaf extract 4 times also had a positive effect on plant growth, specifically plant height and number of leaves.
