Biologi Eocanthecona furcellata Wolff PREDATOR Setora nitens Walker Kelapa Sawit Dengan Mangsa Alternatif Erionota thrax L. Di Laboratorium
Oil palm is an important plantation commodity, contributing to foreign exchange and national development. The development of oil palm plantation area triggers pest attacks such as Setora nitens caterpillar. Control using prolonged synthetic chemical pesticides causes various adverse effects, so biological control is carried out by utilizing natural enemies, namely the predator Eocanthecona furcellata. Predator E. furcellata is propagated with alternative prey Erionota thrax. The study aims to obtain biological data of Eocanthecona furcellata with alternative prey Erionota thrax in the laboratory. The study used mixed methods, namely observation and descriptive, with 50 Eocanthecona furcellata nymphs observed for growth and development in the laboratory. E. furcellata with alternative prey E. thrax can produce one to eight egg clusters. The highest number of eggs produced was 340 eggs. The number of egg groups averaged 51,5 eggs with an average hatchability of 79,41% and hatched into nymphs after 8 days. The length of nymph stadia instar I, instar II, instar III, instar IV, instar V is about 2,53 days; 3,95 days; 4,58 days; 4,76 days; 5,41 days. The success rate of nymphs to imago was 74%. The percentage of sex ratio of male : female imago is 40,54% : 59,46%. Male E. furcellata imago live about 34,53 days and female imago live about 54,05 days. The life cycle of E. furcellata predator with alternative prey E. thrax is 65,52 days.
