Feasibility Study on The Bioattactants from Pandanus Palm and Vegetable Soybean Extracts for Trapping Rice Insects in Paddy Rice Ecosystem

Abstract

Abstract

Rice insect pests are a major problem in rice management, from planting through harvesting. Chemicals are often employed in general management. In a consequence, it has negative effects on both the rice ecology and the farmers' health. As a result, one alternative for pest management in rice fields is to utilize plant extracts that may serve as both repellents and attractants. The primary objective of this study was to see if it was possible to attract insects with plastic bottle traps using extracts from pandan leaves and vegetable soybeans. During the tillering period, three meticulously set plastic bottle traps were deployed in rice fields per three plots and monitored for three consecutive days. The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (family Delphacidae), zigzag leafhopper, Recilia dorsalis and rice green leafhopper, Nephotettix nigropictus (family Cicadellidae) were determined to have the highest percentage frequency of occurrence in each bottle trap containing each lure. The studied insect species in the rice field had an increasing number of predictions towards the end of the study. The species accumulation curves for all insect visitor taxa observed in the rice field displayed an increasing number of predictions towards the end of the survey. Further research will hopefully end in an increase in the number of insect species in the traps. The utilization of plastic bottle traps with pandanus leaf and vegetable soybean extracts was shown. It has the capability to catch insects. This may be used to improve management planning in an integrated agricultural system.
