Penggunaan Paranet dan Pestisida Nabati Mengendalikan Hama Stroberi di Puncak Sorik Marapi, Mandailing Natal, Sumatera Utara

Abstract

Desa Hutanamale, Kecamatan Sorik Marapi, Kabupaten Madina menjadi sentra penghasil tanaman hortikultura, seperti stroberi, cabai, sawi, tomat, kentang dan kol. Stroberi, buah yang tumbuh bersuhu dingin (17°C-20°C),  kelembapan (80-90%), penyinaran 8-10 jam perhari dan curah hujan berkisar 600-700mm. Faktor lingkungan ini mendukung stroberi dapat ditumbuhkembangkan di Puncak Sorik Marapi. Beberapa jenis hama diidentifikasi pada fase pertumbuhan stroberi, terdiri dari Acida turita, Locusta sp., Valanga nigricornis, Chrysocus auratus, Tetranychus sp., Aphis sp., dan Gryllotalpha sp. Manakala fase generatif terdapat hama Acida turita, Locusta sp., Valanga nigricornis, Chrysocus auratus, Tetranychus sp., Aphis sp. Drosphila sp., Filicaulis bleekeri, Gryllotalpha sp. Petani di Sorik Merapi masih banyak menggunakan bahan kimiawi untuk mengendalikan hama dan penyakit tanaman stoberi. Tim Pengabdian Multi tahun LPPM USU melakukan Survei lapangan, Sosialisasi, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), Pelatihan pembuatan pestisida nabati dan desain paranet sebagai proteksi dari serangan hama.  Penggunaan Paranet dan pengolahan pestisida nabati dari daun papaya, cabe merah, bawang putih, stroberi membusuk, sisa buangan air beras dilatih ke petani untuk mengendalikan hama di lahan stroberi. Penggunaan paranet dan pestisida nabati mendukung budidaya dan agroekowisata stroberi dan hortikultura mendapat respon positif dari Poktan Bahagia dan masyarakat Desa Hutanamale, Madina.

These environmental factors support strawberries to be grown in Puncak Sorik Marapi. Several types of pests were identified in the strawberry growth phase, consisting of Acida turita, Locusta sp., Valanga nigricornis, Chrysocus auratus, Tetranychus sp., Aphis sp., and Gryllotalpha sp. During the generative phase, the pests were Acida turita, Locusta sp., Valanga nigricornis, Chrysocus auratus, Tetranychus sp., Aphis sp. Drosphila sp., Filicaulis bleekeri, Gryllotalpha sp. Farmers in Sorik Merapi still use a lot of chemicals to control pests and diseases of strawberry plants. The USU LPPM Multi-year Service Team conducted field surveys, outreach, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), training on the manufacture of vegetable pesticides and Paranet design as protection from pest attacks. The use of Paranet and processing of botanical pesticides from papaya leaves, red chilies, garlic, rotting strawberries, rice water waste are trained to farmers to control pests in strawberry fields. The use of paranet and botanical pesticides to support strawberry and horticulture cultivation and agro-ecotourism has received a positive response from the Happy Poktan and the Hutanamale Village community, Madina.
