The common cutworm, Spodoptera litura Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a major pest of soybean. Pheromone traps are used to monitor male adults, but the catch peaks do not always predict leaf damage in soybean fields. Thus, there is no accurate means of forecasting soybean damage, and insecticide is applied on the basis of farmers’ observations of actual damage in fields. To understand the occurrence of soybean leaf damage, the dispersal of S. litura in a soybean field in southwestern Japan was preliminarily investigated using a searchlight trap in comparison to a pheromone trap at one location, from August to mid-October in 2016–2018. To determine the relationship between pest arrival and crop damage, trap catch numbers and the number of soybean leaves damaged by 1st-instar larvae were examined by separately comparing raw numbers and cumulative numbers. The raw catch numbers of the two trap types in August and September 2016 and 2018 preceded subsequent damage peaks by an average of 5.3 days. This temporal difference coincided with the estimated duration of the egg stage plus an assumed mating period. Furthermore, the cumulative catch numbers of the two traps in August and September were linearly associated with cumulative damaged leaves in the same period in each year and in the three-year period. The coefficient of determination (R2) of linear regression between the cumulative catch numbers of the searchlight trap and the cumulative damaged leaves for the three-year period was much higher than that between the cumulative catch of the pheromone trap and cumulative damage. This suggests that soybean leaf damage is closely linked to the number of S. litura arrivals at the survey site. Thus, the searchlight trap captured S. litura arrivals better than the pheromone trap. As the linear regression function of the cumulative catch of the searchlight trap for the three-year period was tentatively correlated with a prefectural economic injury level for soybean fields, it might be feasible to predict S. litura-induced soybean damage using searchlight traps. The cumulative female catch number of the searchlight trap was also linearly associated with damaged leaves, but the coefficient of determination was generally lower than that with the cumulative total catch. The female ratio of searchlight trap catches in September was <0.5 in contrast to S. litura migrating overseas (>0.5). The advantages and disadvantages of the two trapping methods, as well as necessary further studies are discussed. Our findings provide a foundation for S. litura monitoring with searchlight traps.

Larvicidal and antifeedant activities of clove leaf oil against Spodoptera litura (F.) on Soybean. Economic losses due toinfestation by the soybean armyworm, Spodoptera litura can reach up to 100%. Some farmers often used insecticide to control thearmyworm. However, regular use of insecticide can cause several negative effects such as environmental pollution, residual toxicity,and health hazard for human. The objective of this research was to determine the larvicidal, antifeedant, and activities of cloveleaf oil (CLO) against the armyworm S. litura on soybean. The research was carried out at the plant pest control laboratory ofPoliteknik Pembangunan Pertanian Malang. Clove leaf oil was evaluated for its larvicidal and antifeedant activities against tenthird instar larvae of the armyworm. Completely randomized design was used with concentration levels of CLO as treatments.i.e. 0.4, 0.5, 0.67, 1.0, and 2.0% by volume. Profenofos 500 g L 0.1% and distilled water were include as control. Each treatment consisted of five replications. Mortality of the larvae and antifeedant activity were analyzed using analysis of variance, followed by probit analysis for calculating LC 50  and LT 50-1. The results showed that CLO at 2.0% concentration was the most effective with regard to larvicidal and antifeedant activities. The LC 50 of CLO was 0.09% with LT 24.6 hours. This study revealed that the environmentally friendly CLO can be used as an alternative to synthetic insecticide for control S. litura.

Field population of Spodoptera litura from tomato ( resistant to the majority of the conventional insecticide molecules) were subjected to the in vivo toxicity of spinetoram 12 SC to assess whether cross resistance exists or not. Untreated larvae of both field and laboratory strains showed no mortality during 48 hours of feeding. After 48 hours of feeding on spinetoram 12 SC treated leaves, LC50s of field larvae were 0.28, 0.93, 3.71 and 7.11 ppm for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th instars of S. litura respectively. However, in the laboratory strain these values were 1.12, 5.86, 36.72 and 91.55 ppm for 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th instars of S. litura respectively. Resistance ratio was 0.25, 0.16, 0.10 and 0.08 for the 2nd instar up to the 5th instar of S. litura.

Tembakau adalah produk pertanian semusim yang bukan termasuk dalam komoditas perkebunan. Produk ini dikonsumsi bukan untuk makanan tetapi sebagai pengisi waktu luang yaitu sebagai bahan baku rokok dan cerutu. Tembakau juga dapat dikunyah. Kandungan metabolit sekunder yang kaya juga membuatnya bermanfaat sebagai pestisida dan bahan baku obat. Salah satu tantangan dalam budidaya tembakau adalah adanya organisme pengganggu tanaman. Serangan hama dan penyakit dapat mempengaruhi kualitas maupun kuantitas hasil panen tembakau. Serangan hama dan penyakit yang paling banyak terjadi adalah pada saat fase vegetatif, karena pada vase ini semua bagian tanaman menjadi sasaran makanan bagi organisme pengganggu tanaman. Organisme pengganggu tanaman yang dianggap sebagai hama pada vase vegetattif tanaman tembakau adalah ualt tanah, ulat daun, belalang, kupu, gayas/jangkrik. Kegiatan penelitian ini dilakukan di PT Tarutama Nusantara Jember, data yang digunakan adalah data serangan hama yang terjadi pada seluruh kebun milik TTN dari tahun 2013 hingga 2019. Tujuan dilakukan penelitian ini adalah mengtahui prediksi serangan hama yang akan terjadi guna mempermudah perusahaan dalam menentukan strategi dan kebijakan guna meningkatkan produksi tembakau khususnya sebagai pelapis cerutu dekblad/wrapper. Metode penelitian yang digunakan untuk memprediksi serangan hama yang terjadi adalah metode regresi linier. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan prediksi serangan hama ulat tanah (Agrotis iplison) tahun 2021 sebesar 15,6%, ulat grayak (Spodoptera litura) sebesar 19,08%, serangan hama belalang sebesar 15,77%, dan serangan hama ketep (Setomorpha rutella) sebesar 15,23%, serta serangan hama jangkrik (Gryllidae) pada tahun 2021 adalah sebesar 8,20%.

Spodoptera litura an important insect pest of groundnut causes yield loss up to 71% in India. Though many effective chemicals are available to control Spodoptera, host plant resistance is the most desirable, economic and eco-friendly strategy. In the present study, groundnut mini core (184), recombinant inbred lines (318) and elite genotypes (44) were studied for their reaction to Spodoptera litura under hot spot location at Dharwad. Heritable component of variation existed for resistance to Spodoptera in groundnut mini core, recombinant inbred lines and elite genotypes indicating scope for selection of Spodoptera resistant genotypes. Only 29 (15%) genotypes belonging to hypogaea, fastigiata and hirsuta botanical varieties under mini core set, 15 transgressive segregants belonging to fastigiata botanical variety among 318 recombinant inbred lines and three genotypes belonging to hypogaea and fastigiata botanical varieties under elite genotypes showed resistance to Spodoptera litura with less than 10% leaf damage. Negative correlation existed between resistance to Spodoptera and days to 50 per cent flowering indicating late maturing nature of resistant genotypes. Eight resistant genotypes (ICG 862, ICG 928, ICG 76, ICG 2777, ICG 5016, ICG 12276, ICG 4412 and ICG 9905) under hypogaea botanical variety also had significantly higher pod yield. These diverse genotypes could serve as potential donors for incorporation of Spodoptera resistance in groundnut.

Red spinach (Alternanthera amoena) is one of the vegetable commodities that many people in demand for consumption because of its high nutritional content. Efforts to increase the production of red spinach often experience various obstacles. The main obstacle that limits the productivity of red spinach in the tropics is the number of Plant Disturbing Organisms  in the form of pests and potential diseases that can attack and decrease the production of spinach. One of the pests that often attack spinach is the existence of army worm (Spodoptera litura F.). Therefore, farmers need a way to eradicate the pest. This research is experimental using Random Complete Group. The data obtained were analyzed with variant analysis (ANOVA) in one direction and continued with LSD (Least Significant Different) test. Provision of botanical insecticide done by spraying the extract of leaves and seeds mimba with concentration dose 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%. In the final analysis of mortality data of army worm (Spodoptera litura F.) treated with mimba leaf extract obtained significant value of 76.263 at a significant level of 0.05 so it can be concluded that there is influence of mimba leaf extract on mortality of army worm. In the final analysis of mortality data of army worm (Spodoptera litura F.) treated with mimba seed extract obtained significant value of 78.625 at a significant level of 0.05 so it can be concluded that there is an effect of mimba seeds extract on mortality army worm.   Keywords: mimba leaf extract,  mimba seed extract, red spinach (Alternanthera amoena), army worm (Spodoptera litura F.), botanical insecticide
