Abstract :

This study aims to determine the effectiveness, the right dose to control the golden snail pest and the impact of its application on rice production. The study was conducted in Teupin Raya Village, Peusangan Siblah Krueng District from September to November 2022. The design used in this study was a non-factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 7 treatments and 3 replications. The factor tested was areca nut extract with the following treatment: P0: Control, P1: Dose of 100 gr/ha P2: Dose of 150gr/ha P3: Dose of 200 gr/ha P4: Dose of 250 gr/ha P5: Dose of 300 gr/ha P6 : Dose of 350 gr/ha. Parameters observed were golden snail mortality, golden snail mortality, attack intensity, plant height (cm), number of tillers, panicle length (cm), and grain weight (g). The results showed that the treatment of various doses of areca extract on mortality, intensity and yield of rice plants had a very significant effect on plant height at 15 and 45 DAP, number of tillers at 15, 30, 45 DAP, panicle length, and grain weight and not significant effect on plant height at the age of 30 HST. The best treatment for the dose of areca extract on the effectiveness, growth and yield of rice plants was obtained in the P6 treatment at a dose of 350 g/plot.
