Efektivitas Pengendali Biologis terhadap Hama dan Penyakit pada Tanaman Padi (Oryza Sativa)

Abstract

This article discusses the effectiveness of various biological control 
methods for pests and diseases in rice plants. The research method 
used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), analyzing several 
related articles on biological control of pests and diseases in rice 
plants. This study includes the use of various biological agents such 
as fungi, plant extracts, and bacteria to control pests and diseases 
in rice plants. For example, soursop seed and leaf extracts are used 
to control rice bugs, and endophytic fungi for blast disease. 
Additionally, Beauveria bassiana solution and bacterial consortia 
are effective in controlling rice bugs, armyworms, and false white 
pests, while Trichoderma and Bacillus spp. are effective for brown 
spot disease. The use of these biological agents not only enhances 
plant growth but also reduces the intensity of pest and disease 
attacks, thereby supporting sustainable and environmentally 
friendly rice farming productivity.
