New Record of the Egg-larval Parasitoid, Chelonus formosanus Sonan of Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) in the Philippines
The egg-larval parasitoid on fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) have not reported in the Philippines. This paper summarizes the global biological information on two species of Chelonus and their role in the regulation of FAW. The FAW egg masses and larvae were collected in the corn plantations inside the Lipa Agricultural Research Station, Marawoy, Lipa City, Batangas. The collected egg masses and larvae were reared at the Entomology Laboratory of the Department of Agriculture-Regional Crop Protection Center IVA. The larvae of FAW were observed for the emergence of parasitoids. Two cocoons of the parasitoid from the rearing cages were obtained for species determination. Three adults from the emerged parasitoids, each male and female, were initially preserved and labeled. Color images of habitus and other morphological characters of the parasitoid were taken using a DSLR camera attached to an Olympus SZ61-60 microscope. This research found two species that emerged from FAW: Chelonus formosanus and the new record of C. semihyalinus. We also highlight the need for more research in the Philippines on exploring the diversity of indigenous natural enemies, the development of mass-rearing techniques, and their utilization to manage fall armyworms
Population Distribution of Rats (Rattus argentiventer) and the Damage Intensity on Rice and Other Crops in Pleret, Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Rice field rats is one of the main pests of rice in Indonesia and other Asian countries that can cause a crop failure. The availability food sources might affect the rat foraging in the field. The research aimed to determine the distribution of rat population and their nests in the field with different crop and to examine the level of crop damage caused by rats. The research was conducted from January to April 2023 in Pleret district, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The 1000 m2 TBS (Trap Barrier System) was installed in the middle of the 225 ha observation area to trap rats. Crop damage inside TBS was observed using a diagonal sampling method. Crop damage outside TBS was observed using the line transect method in the 4 cardinal directions with a distance of 250m, 500m, and 750m from TBS. Rat nest’s locations were mapped using GPS. The results showed that the number of rats trapped was low in the early and late stage of rice growth and peaked when the rice aged 12 weeks after planting (WAP). Rice crop damage inside TBS occurred when rice entered 12 WAP. There was no damage on rice crops around the TBS. Rats also attacked corn and sugarcane which caused heavy damage to these crops. There were 157 active holes found in 225ha observation area and they mostly were found in rice field bunds, irrigation embankments, and vacant land. This study implied that understanding the distribution of rat’s population and their nest will support the rat control
Virulence of Five Isolates of The Entomopathogenic Fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae, Against Brown Planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens)
The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) is one of the main pests of rice plants. This pest attack can cause crop failure or puso. Biological control of this pest can be carried out using the entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae. The ability of this fungus to control pests is influenced by the source of the isolate. The purpose of this study was to obtain isolates of M. anisopliae, which is virulent to N. lugens. This study used an experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD) in six treatments and five replications. There were five isolates of M. anisopliae used and one control. M. anisopliae was applied to nymphs and adults of N. lugens with a concentration of 108 conidia/mL. The research revealed that all M. anisopliae isolates tested were virulent against N. lugens nymphs and adults. The most virulent isolate for the two stages of BPH was Met3B, which was collected from the leek rhizosphere. The isolate caused an adult mortality rate of 52%, nymph mortality of 60% in 10 days after application, and adults formed after application was only 37.33%
Distribution and Attack Rate of Spodoptera frugiperda on Maize in Sijunjung District, West Sumatera Province: Distribusi dan Tingkat Serangan Spodoptera frugiperda pada Tanaman Jagung di Kabupaten Sijunjung, Sumatera Barat
The density and attack rates of Spodoptera frugiperda have been reported in various maize cultivation in Indonesia, but there has never been a report in Sijunjung District, West Sumatra. The research was conducted to study the attack level, density, and distribution of S. frugiperda in Sijunjung District. The study was carried out in March -May 2023 using a survey method in 8 sub-districts in Sijunjung District. The results showed that S. frugiperda had spread and attacked maize crops evenly in Sijunjung District, but the attack rate (26.96%) and density (0.24 individuals) were low. The highest attack was found in Nagari Guguak (88.7%). The high or low rate of attacks is influenced by differences in varieties, planting ages, and maize cultivation techniques. Meanwhile, the density is more influenced by age differences

The treatment consisted of 5 herbicide doses (Atrazine 500 g/l (500, 750, 1,000, 1,250, and 1,500 g/ha), manual weeding, and control. The results showed that Atrazine 500 g/l at doses of 750 - 1,500 g/ha effectively controlled the growth of total weeds, broadleaf and grass weeds, Digitaria ciliaris, and Richardia brasiliensis. While at doses of 500–1,500 g/ha, it effectively controlled Eleusine indica, Cleome rutidosperma, and Commelina benghalensis. Those doses did not poison, and did not inhibit growth, and the yield of maize
Compost Organic Materials' Suitability as a Living Place for Rhinoceros Beetle Larvae (Oryctes rhinoceros Linnaeus) in Oil Palm Area: Kesesuaian Bahan Organik Kompos sebagai Tempat Hidup Larva Kumbang Tanduk (Oryctes rhinoceros Linnaeus) pada Lahan Sawit
Rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) is the primary pest of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.). Applying oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) and various other organic materials to cultivated land is assumed to support the growth of rhinoceros beetles. The study aimed to determine the suitability of organic matter as a place for rhinoceros beetle larvae to live. The research was carried out experimentally using a completely randomized design (RBD) with eight treatments and four replications. The treatment was in the form of OPEFB, rice husk, sawdust, OPEFB + rice husk, OPEFB + sawdust, OPEFB + rice husk + sawdust, and OPEFB + rice husk + sawdust without composting. The results showed that the growth of rhinoceros beetle larvae tended to be best on an organic material combination of OPEFB + rice husk + sawdust without being composted. Meanwhile, rice husk is the most unsuitable organic material for developing rhinoceros beetle larvae. Applying organic matter to palm land should be composted beforehand to reduce Rhinoceros beetle infestation

The result showed that botanical molluscicide from mangkokan leaves preparation by oven-dried and fresh were the two most effective in controlling the golden snail because they caused 100 % mortality of the golden snail, reduced the feed number consumed, with decreasing in feeding activity of 54.91% and 52.94%
The Ability of Several Biological Agents to Induce Resistance of Rice from Pyricularia oryzae Attacks In Vitro and In Vivo: Kemampuan Beberapa Agens Hayati dalam Menginduksi Ketahanan Tanaman Padi dari Serangan Pyricularia oryzae secara In Vivo dan In Vitro
Rice (Oryza sativa Linnaeus) is the main food crop that is needed daily for the majority of Indonesian people. One of the diseases that increase rice production is the attack of pests and other diseases caused by Pyricularia oryzae. Biological agents are an alternative to control this disease. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the induction of rice plant resistance using several biological agents against blast disease. The study was carried out in 2 stages, the first in vivo using a Randomized Block Design consisting of 4 biological agent treatments, namely Trichoderma sp., Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens and sterile Aquades (control) which was repeated 6 times with each replication consisted of 3 plant samples so that the total number of samples observed was 72 plant samples. The second stage was carried out in vitro by inoculating P. oryzae on 3 pieces of rice plant leaves as a result of in vivo experiments. The design used was a completely randomized design with 4 agent treatments which were repeated 6 times. The results showed that the induction of rice plant resistance with P. fluorescens was able to reduce the severity of disease caused by P. oryzae attack (72.22%), with a decrease in efficacy of 25.48%, and the lowest AUDPC (691.66). In general, the resistance induction did not affect rice growth, but Trichoderma sp and P. fluorescens were able to increase the grain weight produced (3.11 and 2.80 g per plant, respectively)
