Abstract

Spodoptera frugiperda is the main pest that attacks corn plants. This pest attack can cause damage to the leaves so it has the potential to reduce maize production. This study aimed to obtain the response of vegetable insecticides to the leaf extract of widuri and krinyuh leaf and its combination in reducing the attack intensity and population of the armyworm (S. frugiperda J. E. Smith) and its effect on corn production. This research was conducted in Oloboju Village, Sigi Biromaru District, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. The time of study started from March to May 2022. This study used a Randomized Block Design (RAK) consisting of 4 treatments which were repeated 4 times to obtain 16 experimental units. The treatments were P0 = (control), P1 = widuri leaf extract at 8% concentration, P2 = krinyuh leaf extract at 8% concentration, and P3 = widuri leaf extract + krinyuh leaf extract at 8% concentration. The results showed that the treatment of extracts of widuri and krinyuh leaves and their combination had a significant effect on the intensity of attack and the population of Spodoptera frugiperda and maize production. The treatment of thistle leaf extract can reduce the intensity of the attack by an average of 7.53% and the population by an average of 0.97 tails, and increase corn production with an average production of 13.09 tons/ha.
