POPULASI Bemisia tabaci (GENNADIUS) PADA PERTANAMAN CABAI DI YOGYAKARTA: STUDI KASUS PADA DAERAH ENDEMIK DAN NON ENDEMIK PENYAKIT KERITING KUNING CABA
ABSTRAK: This research was aimed
to study actual population of Bemisia tabaci, the vector of Pepper Yellow Leaf
Curl Virus, in endemic and non endemic areas of Pepper Yellow Leaf Curl Disease
(PYLCD) at Yogyakarta through population of its adult and immature. Field
observation was taken at Sleman District as endemic areas and Bantul district
as non endemic areas. We took sticky yellow trap and modified vacuum to collect
actual population of adult whiteflies, whereas the immature were observed by
direct counting and collecting the infested leaf of chili. The next activity
was identifying and analyzing male and female the population by binocular
microscope at Entomology Laboratory Faculty of Agriculture Gadjah Mada
University Yogyakarta. The results showed that adult population of B. tabaci in
endemic areas was higher than non endemic areas of PYLCD on chili vegetative
phase, whereas the immature population was lower. This condition indicated that
migration pattern has been occurred on population B. tabaci.
