BIOLOGI Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. SMITH (NOCTUIDAE: LEPIDOPTERA) PADA TUMBUHAN LIAR DAN JAGUNG
Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a pest that has polyphage characteristics and can spread rapidly within a short period of time. S. frugiperda larvae can attack on all parts of the maize crop ranging from leaves to cobs by scraping the plant. S. fragiperda larvae has very wide range of host plants. Therefore, this study aims to find out the biology of S. frugiperda on wild plants and maize. The observation method used in this study is Randomized Block Design (RAK) with six treatments and one control repeated three times. Each repetition is done by keeping all the larvae from the collection of eggs that hatch until they have become imago. The observed variable is the biology of S.frugiperda from egg stage to imago stage. With the host plants used in this study were green pigweed (Amaranthus hybridus L.), water spinach (Ipomoea aquatic Forsk), setaria grass (Setaria sphacelate), cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica), para grass (Brachiaria mutica), elephant grass (Pennisebur purpureum), and maize (Zea mays). The result of this study showed that S. frugiperda fed up on wild plants and maize can complete their entire life cycle with varying biological characteristics. The highest mortality was on weeds and elephant grass. The percentage of larvae that became pupae and the emergence of the most imago was on maize. The number of eggs laid and the percentage of eggs that hatched was highest on maize. The conclusion of this research is that spinach feed produces better biology in the larval stage, while maize produces better biology in the imago stage. Mortality was highest on thatch and elephant grass host plants and the least number of eggs laid on the same host plant, which was the least preferred host plant by S. frugiperda.
