Local resource utilization in integrated pest management in Lampung Province

Abstract

The integration of rice and cow is one way to optimize the use of existing resources in farmers. This integration is mainly for farmers who have relatively narrow land (0.1 - 0.5 ha). In the bioindustry concept, the rice-cow farming system is primarily aimed at obtaining an ecological balance in one ecosystem because the agricultural system which does not take into account the principles of ecological balance is part of efforts to destroy natural resources and the environment. This paper will discuss the use of available resources in the location to integrated pest control (IPM) in the farming system of rice-cow in Lampung Province. These local resources can come from plants, microorganisms, animals etc. which together and integrated contribute to the application of IPM in rice cultivation. At paddy, Corine bacterium is often used to reduce infections from fungi and bacteria as in blas disease caused by Pyricularia sp. The use of local resources such as coryne bacterium frequency of 15 days can reduce blast disease approximately 45.82%, and crackle disease around 50.2%. The use of a combination of local resources such as corin, refugia and vegetable pesticides will be better able to suppress both pests and diseases on rice. The use of local resources will support the work of natural enemies on rice, and contributes to a sustainable agricultural system.
