METARHIZIUM ANISOPLIAE DAN ANDROGRAPHIS PANICULATA TERHADAP SERANGGA BUKAN HAMA SASARAN
ABSTRACT: The objective of
this study was to determine the effect of Metarhizium anisopliae and
Andrographis paniculata to the natural enemies of Nephotettix virescens and
non-target insect pests. This research was conducted in tungro endemic areas in
Subang District, West Java in the wet season 2013/2014. The method of research
used a split plot design with four replications. The main plot was IR66, Inpari
9, and Ciherang varieties. Subplot was the application of M. anisopliae, A.
paniculata, and control. Observations were carried out five times started at
nursery (2 weeks after seedling), 14, 28, 42, and 56 days after planting using
insect nets, double swing 10 times on each plot observations. The results show
M. anisopliae and A. paniculata not adversely affect on non-target insect pests
such as Chironomid and natural enemies of N. virescens namely Lycosa
pseudoannulata, Cyrtorhinus lividipennis, Sepedon sp., damselfly, Tipulidae
sp., Telenomus sp., dragonfly, and Tetrastichus sp.. Efficacy of M. anisopliae
and A. paniculata as one of the control strategies that are environmentally
friendly and proved not harmful to non-target insect pests.
