| dc.description.abstract | The main problem in dealing with the mass production of Entomopathogen Nematodes (EPN) is formulate and keep in order can be used for long periods. During this time Entomopathogenic nematodes is kept inside the sponge with temperature 4-18 º C. Laborant need many efforts to overcome these problems, they are : formulated with organic fertilizer, because the habitat of the Steinernema carpocapsae almost nematodes always live in the soil, so the viability of entomopathogenic nematodes , in the future cobinatin of nematodes can be used as biopesticide and organic fertilizer
The aim of this reseach was to know the viability or the ability of EPN to
survive in some types of organic fertilizer . They are organic fertilizer from sugar
waste factory, urban organic fertilizer, organic fertilizer from coffee and cocoa
waste. The result of this research was expected to be basic in the development
of acombination package of bio-pesticide and biofertilizer which can be applied
together by the farmers.
The results showed that, S. carpocapsae nematodes is able to
survive for 90 days with a percentage of 0.2%, organic fertilizer from coffee and
cocoa waste which was inoculated with the S. carpocapsae nematodes 104 ij /
200 ml. For the other fertilizer treatments only lasted for 80 days. | en_US |
