JENIS DAN INTENSITAS KERUSAKAN HAMA UTAMA TANAMAN CABAI PADA SISTEM BUDIDAYA YANG BERBEDA

The research aims to determine the main types of pests and the intensity of their damage to chili plants with different cultivation systems. This research was conducted in Konda Satu Village, Konda District, South Konawe Regency. This study consisted of 3 treatments with 6 replications, so there were 18 experimental units. Observational data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and if the results showed significant differences then it was continued with the Least Significant Difference Test (LSD) at the 95% confidence level to find out the best treatment by testing the differences between all treatments. Then test further LSD0.05. This study used three cultivation systems as treatments, namely the Conventional Cultivation System (Without Application of Biofresh Fertilizer + 100% Inorganic recommended dose + Use of Plastic Mulch), Semi-Organic Cultivation System (Application of Biofresh Fertilizer 50% recommended dose + 50% Inorganic of recommended dose + Application Phymar C Botanical Pesticides + Use of Plastic Mulch), and Organic Cultivation Systems (100% recommended dosage of Biofresh Fertilizer Application + Phymar C Botanical Pesticide Application + Organic Mulch). The results showed that the main pests that attack chili plants are armyworm pests (Spodoptera litura), fruit fly pests (Bactrocera sp.) and Aphids pests (Aphididae). The lowest damage intensity of armyworm pests was in the organic cultivation system of 18.08%, the lowest intensity of fruit fly pest attacks was in the semi-organic cultivation system of 31.81%, the lowest intensity of attack by aphids was in the semi-organic cultivation system of 12.59%
