Integrated Control of Coffee Bean Borer (Hypothenemus Hampei) on Sigararutang Coffee, Motung Village, Ajibata Sub-district, Toba Samosir District, Sumatera Utara

Abstract

Integrated control Hypothenemus hampei in Saurdot farmer group, Motung Village, Ajibata District, Toba Samosir Regency, North Sumatra. The purpose of the activity was to increase the knowledge and skills of farmers about H.hampei and their management measures by improving cultivation techniques. The socialization of coffee borer pest management has been carried out by improving crop cultivation through spacing, crop pruning, chemical control and planting refugia plants. Partner problems are overcome by a number of technological solutions, which are carried out using technology transfer methods through education, training, demonstration plots, and mentoring. Socialization activities can increase farmers' knowledge about coffee berry borer (CBB) pests and its environmentally friendly control. The prototype of healthy coffee cultivation is very beneficial in increasing the knowledge and skills of Saurdot farmer group members in coffee cultivation. There is an increase in both knowledge and skills in the application of plant cultivation techniques. coffee specifically about the spacing of coffee seedlings increased by 15.38%, the distance of the shading trees around 50%, the selection of protective trees only about 50%, pruning coffee plants around 54%, pruning of shading trees around 25%, applying basic fertilizer and supplementary fertilizers around 50% in addition, there was also an increase in the group in the introduction of plant pests and control methods. There was an increase in the knowledge of partner groups about the type of pest of coffee plants by 11.11%, CBB pest by 51.11%, about CBB pest control by 50% and knowledge about the types of pesticides in controlling CBB by 50%

Sustainable specialty coffee production: An agronomy perspective (A review)

“…Attacks on early phase of fruit development could cause fruit decay, whereas attacks on mature fruit (ripe) result in a decrease of coffee beans quality. Those damages directly affect coffee yield and quality [68].…”

“…The main cultural practices for pest control in coffee crops are related to CBB and consist of harvesting dry overripe fruit on trees and cleaning up of abscised on the ground to reduce CBB reservoir in the inter-crop season [10]. Implementing good agriculture coffee cultivation including fertilization to improve plant health, pruning, and weed supression are related to CBB control [68]. Pruning coffee plants can remove CBB until 70% because CBB is a type of lice which cannot stand the heat of the sun.…”

A review on the pesticides in coffee: Usage, health effects, detection, and mitigation

“…In addition, tips are provided to obtain optimal results. An example could be what was recently reported in Indonesia regarding training the farmers about spacing of coffee seeds, spacing and types of protective trees, and pruning coffee and protective plants to get the best results at the level of coffee beans parallel with the minimum use of pesticides (84).…”

Preferensi Petani Terhadap Karakteristik Varietas Unggul Baru Kedelai di Lahan Kering Kabupaten Pandeglang, Provinsi Banten

“…Namun demikian, VUB kedelai Balitbangtan masih perlu dilakukan pengkajian terkait adaptasinya pada lahan kering di Provinsi Banten, dan perlu diperkenalkan ke petani secara lebih luas. Salah satu metode yang efektif untuk memperkenalkan varietas unggul baru pada petani adalah melalui demontrasi pertanaman langsung di lapangan (Suswati et al, 2020). Cara ini memberikan kesempatan pada petani untuk melihat dan menilai langsung karakteristik VUB kedelai yang diperkenalkan pada masa pertanaman, panen, dan pasca panen (Rahayu, 2012).…”
