Identification of Insect Pests of Green Eggplant (Solanum melongena L) in Generative Phase at Agricultural Zone of Pandak, Bantul, Yogyakarta
Keywords:
eggplant, green eggplant, generative phase, insect pestAbstract
Eggplant (Solanum melongena L) is a commodity that has good prospects for development. The obstacle in increasing eggplant production in Indonesia is the attack of pests and mites. The purpose of this study was to determine the species of insect pests that attack green eggplant in the generative phase. Observations were made on all green eggplant plants in a 150 m2 field area. Calculation using the Diversity Index (H'). The results in this study showed that the total insects found were 10 species from 8 families. The species of insects are Epilachna sp., Paracoccus marginatus, Empoasca sp., Atractomorpha crenulata, Cassida circumdata, Stenocatantops angustifrons, Oxya japonica, Phlaeoba fumosa, Bemisia tabaci, and Bactrocera dorsalis. Value (H') = 0.56. This value belongs to the low category. The value of the dominance index of Bemisia tabaci is 1,41 so the insect dominates other species of insects.
