Rice field rats is one of the main pests of rice in Indonesia and other Asian countries that can cause a crop failure. The availability food sources might affect the rat foraging in the field. The research aimed to determine the distribution of rat population and their nests in the field with different crop and to examine the level of crop damage caused by rats. The research was conducted from January to April 2023 in Pleret district, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The 1000 m2 TBS (Trap Barrier System) was installed in the middle of the 225 ha observation area to trap rats. Crop damage inside TBS was observed using a diagonal sampling method. Crop damage outside TBS was observed using the line transect method in the 4 cardinal directions with a distance of 250m, 500m, and 750m from TBS. Rat nest’s locations were mapped using GPS. The results showed that the number of rats trapped was low in the early and late stage of rice growth and peaked when the rice aged 12 weeks after planting (WAP). Rice crop damage inside TBS occurred when rice entered 12 WAP. There was no damage on rice crops around the TBS. Rats also attacked corn and sugarcane which caused heavy damage to these crops. There were 157 active holes found in 225ha observation area and they mostly were found in rice field bunds, irrigation embankments, and vacant land. This study implied that understanding the distribution of rat’s population and their nest will support the rat control.

“…Dikenal sebagai salah satu penghasil padi terbesar di Provinsi Riau, Kabupaten Kampar memainkan peran yang krusial dalam penyediaan bahan pangan pokok bagi penduduk lokal maupun tingkat regional. Namun, upaya meningkatkan produktivitas padi seringkali dihadapkan pada hambatan, salah satunya adalah tantangan serangan organisme perusak tanaman, termasuk hama dan penyakit tanaman (Siregar et al, 2021). Di Kabupaten Kampar, produksi tanaman padi mengalami penurunan yang signifikan, sebesar 43,65% dalam periode panen Januari 2023 -April 2023 jika dibandingkan dengan periode sebelumnya (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2023).…”

Tanaman padi merupakan komoditi utama di Desa Empat Balai. Pada tahun 2022, dilaporkan serangan tikus sawah menyerang padi sawah di Kecamatan Kuok hingga menyebabkan kerusakan seluas 1 – 4 ha. Solusi permasalahan ini adalah dilakukannya program pengabdian masyarakat dengan memberikan penyuluhan dan praktik pengendalian hama tikus terpadu dengan kearifan lokal oleh tim KKN Universitas Riau. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah melakukan penyuluhan, meluruskan pemahaman petani, melakukan pengendalian hama tikus dengan memanfaatkan kearifan lokal. Metode yang digunakan meliputi survei, konsolidasi, penyuluhan, dan praktik lapangan. Kegiatan penyuluhan menjelaskan bioekologi tikus dan pengendalian yang tepat untuk mengatasi permasalahan serangan hama tikus. Kegiatan praktik lapangan meliputi teknik gropyokan, pengaplikasian emposan, dan pemasangan perangkap bambu. Kegiatan pengabdian ini berhasil dilaksanakan dengan lancar dengan melibatkan petani yang responsif. Hasil kegiatan penyuluhan menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman dan keterampilan petani dalam pengendalian hama tikus kisaran 55-60%.

“…This must be watched out for in relation to efforts to control rats in the next generative phase of rice, because these rats are ready to mate and reproduce. The sex of the rats trapped in the TBS is also the same as the study by Siregar et al, (2021), namely male dominance. The shape and model of the trap can be seen in Figure 4.…”

Abstract. Rats are the main agricultural pests and one of the factors causing crop failure for farmers, especially in Pademawu. Farmers generally use pest control methods using poisons that can pollute the agricultural environment. The application of the Trap Barrier System (TBS) is needed to overcome the rat pestproblem. The service aims to increase partners' insight into implementing rat pest control using TBS. Community service activities in the form of outreach and training. The method used is descriptive quantitative, namely data collection through filling out questionnaires including knowledge skills, level of interest, posttest and pretest for partner knowledge evaluation. The results of the participant's assessment of the benefits of the training through Evaluation of farmers' understanding of the application of TBS technology showed results of 82%. The assessment shows the skills and insights obtained by the farmers are in the good category after carrying out the activities. The participants also showed interest in participating in the activities shown by the participants actively asking and listening during the discussion. TBS has been proven to be able to reduce the level of rat attack on rice by up to 80% so that farmers are interested in using the TBS trap system. Even so, the TBS system cannot break the life cycle of rats and further guidance is needed regarding sustainable cropping and cultivation patterns to overcome this in the farmers' environment in East Pademawu Village.
