The purpose of this study was to analyze and to find out the financial feasibility of nutmeg cultivation by applying Integrated Pest Management (IPM) technology patterns. The data for 2007-2017 shows that the productivity of dried nutmeg crop seeds was 0.86 tons per hectare in 2007 and decreased 0.83 tons per hectare in 2017. The decline in production and mortality rate of nutmeg plants was increasing due to several factors, one of which was pest and disease attacks. The results of this study showed that the nutmeg cultivation system with IPM technology pattern for an average of 1 hectare land obtained NPV of Rp 144.185.587, Net B/C Ratio of 4.43, IRR of 17.97%, and Payback Period (PP) 12.19. Therefore, financially, the cultivation of nutmeg plants with IPM technology is feasible and profitable to be cultivated. The sensitivity analysis of nutmeg cultivation with IPM technology with the assumption that the possibility of costs increased by 10%, due to a decrease in production by 20% and a combination of costs up 10% and production decreased by 20% shows the results that the cultivation of nutmeg plants with IPM technology are still feasible to be cultivated.

As part of a continual search for potential pathogens of insects for use in biological control or on an integrated pest management program, two bacilliform virus-like particles (VLP) of similar morphology have been found in the Mexican bean beetle Epilachna varivestis Mulsant and the house cricket, Acheta domesticus (L. ).Tissues of diseased larvae and adults of E. varivestis and all developmental stages of A. domesticus were fixed according to procedures previously described. While the bean beetles displayed no external symptoms, the diseased crickets displayed a twitching and shaking of the metathoracic legs and a lowered rate of activity.Examinations of larvae and adult Mexican bean beetles collected in the field in 1976 and 1977 in Maryland and field collected specimens brought into the lab in the fall and reared through several generations revealed that specimens from each collection contained vesicles in the cytoplasm of the midgut filled with hundreds of these VLP's which were enveloped and measured approximately 16-25 nm x 55-110 nm, the shorter VLP's generally having the greater width (Fig. 1).
