INTEGRATED PEST CONTROL PLANTHOPPER

INTEGRATED PEST CONTROL PLANTHOPPER

Planthoppers is one of the most feared pests farmers after the rat . According maspary , farmers assume that planthoppers very difficult to control , it is because farmers usually know / recognize planthopper attack after a severe attack . The rice plant has been flushed even already dried . It is true that rice already flushed / dry out planthoppers certainly very difficult to control.
According maspary , there are actually some tips planthopper in an integrated pest control can be done by the farmer :

    The use of resistant varieties leafhoppers . One example of superior varieties for local governments is endemic planthopper Inpari 13 . This variety is resistant to TEBUKTI planthopper biotype 4 . Glutinous rice is susceptible varieties leafhoppers , therefore we need to avoid the rainy season and when planted in areas endemic attack .
    Planting in unison . In daereh maspary ( Banyumas district ) simultaneously planting is very difficult to do . Synchrony of planting is usually difficult in areas that had technical irrigation ( area of ​​water available at all times ) . But we must try to encourage our associates to grow in unison in order to avoid displacement of rice planthoppers old ( before harvest ) to the young rice plants . It needs to be a common understanding to be implemented .
    Cut the life cycle of life leafhoppers . Areas that farmers do not plant rice three times a year usually rare plant hopper attack . Had to happen usually does not harm . Keep within one year plant rice twice and once for crops / nuts . So the ideal cropping pattern is rice - Rice - Crop . Not Rice - Rice - Poem .
    Raising healthy plants . To make the rice plants grow healthy can be done by way of a reduction in the use of urea and dilute spacing . In addition to adding spacing legowo planting system also needs to be done to facilitate the treatment of rice plants
    Continuous monitoring of the plant . According maspary , event observation is key in pest control leafhoppers . Observations were made once a week at the latest . With continuous observations we will know planthopper attack symptoms early . In fact not only will planthoppers but all pests and diseases . So that we can more quickly take control measures to overcome them .
    Penyelamatam natural enemies of leafhoppers . In doing monitoing we must observe also the presence of natural enemies . If the clumps of rice still Paedorus sp , sp etc Cocsinella berlega we still may be because there is still a living creature that can eat planthoppers . To save this natural enemy we must be selective in choosing a pesticide , the indiscriminate use of pesticides can destroy natural enemies . Use of pesticides is actually recommended for rice .
    Use of fungal antagonists . Farmers could use some fungal parasites / parasitoids of pests such as Metarizium sp and sp Beveria to control this planthopper . In spraying / application of this fungus should be kept. Do not let our application parasitic fungi during the scorching daytime , because it will cause the fungus to die and ineffective use of fungal antagonists . In addition the application also parasitic fungi should not be mixed with the use of chemical pesticides
    The use of plant materials . If the use of natural enemies and fungal antagonists planthoppers were difficult to overcome , we can also use botanical pesticides ( pesnab ) . Some plant materials can be selected and used to control planthoppers . For example, plant-based materials that can be used to control leafhoppers are neem leaves , Mindi and tobacco .
    Selective use of chemical pesticides . It should be underlined that the Integrated Control does not mean forbidden pesticides . Control with pesticides should be done when an attack has exceeded threshold control leafhoppers . Before we buy we are going to apply pesticides in rice plants we must first read the pesticide label , whether the pesticide can actually be used in rice plants . Because the choice banyaknyaa pesticides in agriculture stall sometimes makes us confused selection .
