ABSTRACT Shallot (Allium cepa L.) cultivation in Riau has several obstacles, one of which is the attack of Fusarium wilt disease. The high attack of Fusarium wilt disease is caused by low pH soil or planting media. Fusarium wilt disease in shallots is commonly found in acidic soil. One of the control efforts is to increase soil pH by applying calcite lime (CaCO3). This study were aimed to obta…
ABSTRACT Rice plant (Oryza sativa L.) is the main food source that provides calories and nutrition which is the staple food for Indonesian society. Rice plant cultivation is inseparable from pests the disturbance. One of the main pest that attacks rice plants is the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stal.) because it can cause decrease in rice production up to 100% by causing hopperburn sy…
ABSTRACT Corn (Zea mays L.) is a plant that has a high position as a source of carbohydrates and protein after rice and is used as a feed source. Attemp to increase corn production are still experiencing several obstacles, such as Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith pest attacks which can cause yield loss of 15-73% if the plant population is attacked by 55 - 100%. Botanical pesticides mahagony se…
