Perkembangan Populasi Nematoda Puru Akar (Meloidogyne spp.) dan Tingkat Kerusakan Pada Beberapa Tanaman Familia Solanaceae

Abstract

Development Population of Root-Knot Nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) and The
Level Of Damage to Some Plants Solanaceae Family

This research started from November 2018 until March 2019 in the
experimental garden Pegok Faculty of Agriculture, University Udayana. It uses a
complete randomized design with 4 treatments and 6 repeats. The study treatment
uses some of the Solanaceae family plants such us tomato (Lycopersicon
esculentum), eggplants (Solanum melongena L), large red chili pepper (Capsicum
annum), cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens), which was given 500 of nematodes
Meloidogyne spp. on Each polybag. The observed parameters include the
development of the population of nematode Meloidogyne spp. for 2 life cycles in 1
gram of root and 300 grams of soil and measuring the rate of crop damage.
Nematodes Meloidogyne spp. is an important parasitic nematodes in the world.
Solanaceace plants are widely cultivated in Indonesia because of their high economic
value and become an important food ingredient. One of the problems in aquaculture
Solanaceae is the attack nematodes Meloidogyne spp.. The highest population of the
research results is in tomato plants with a damage rate of 68.3%. The lowest
population amount in chili pepper plants with a damage rate of 11.7%. The less-liked
plant Nematoda Meloidogyne spp. is a chili pepper so it can be used as an alternative
crop rotation.
