UJI BEBERAPA KONSENTRASI EKSTRAK BIJI PINANG (Areca catechu L.) UNTUK MENGENDALIKAN KEPIK HIJAU (Nezara viridula L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) DI LABORATORIUM
ABSTRACT: Green stink bug
(Nezara viridula L.) is an important pest in soybean. The use of synthetic
chemical control has many negative impacts such as the occurrence of pest
resistance, pest resurgence and environmental pollution. Botanical pesticides
such as betel nut (Areca catechu L.) is one alternative pest control to reduce
the use of synthetic chemical pesticides. The purpose of this study is to
obtain appropriate concentrations of betel nut extracts to control green stink
bug (N. viridula L.) in soybean crops. This research was conducted in the pest
laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Riau by using a completely
randomized design with 5 treatments and 4 replications. Betel nut extract
treatments given was 0 g/l of water, 10 g/l of water, 20 g/l of water, 30 g/l of
water, 40 g/l and 50 g/l of water. Concentration of 50 g/l of water caused
total mortality 97.5 %. Appropriate concentration to kill 95 % of test insects
is 4.64 % equivalent to 46.4 g/l approaches 50 g/l of water.
