Pengaruh penggunaan insect light trap tenaga surya dalam pengendalian hama wereng batang coklat pada tanaman padi

Abstract

Planthoppers are quick to adapt to the environment, so they can adapt to new surrounding conditions. Several methods or innovations can be applied to eco-friendly planthoppers pest control, that is, through the use of light traps and the application of solar power generation systems to convert solar energy into electricity. This research aims to determine the effect of using solar light traps to control planthoppers on rice by using different color treatments for each lamp, to obtain lights suitable for planthopper pest traps. These results show that blue light treatment is the best color for planthoppers, and the average scores of planthoppers are 75.6 (plants) and 65.8 (reproduction) respectively. In addition, the average result of the highest disease intensity was found in the red light treatment (vegetative) which was 13.07% while the green light treatment showed a result of 6.35% (generative).
