Abstract
Priyatno, T. P. dan M. K. Kardin. 1998. Entomopathogenk fungi: Potency, Problem, and It's Oeveloptment Strategy as Biocontrol Agents for Brown Planthopper. Buldin AgroBio 1(1): 1-10. Brown pianthopper (BPH) is one of the Important insect pests in Indonesia. Various control measures such as synchronized planting, resistant varieties, and pesticide application have been recommended, however, outbreak and losses due to the development of new biotypes has not been controlled satisfactorily. In addition, buprofezin, the only recommended insecticide to control the BPH has been suggested to be toxic to shrimp culture. Therefore, alternatives control meas ures of BPH are needeed. Fungal pathogen of insect is one of the BPH natural enemies that has been suggested as one of the alternatives to control the BPH. Prelimenary researches on this
subject have been conducted, but further studies to asses die effectivenes under field conditions and the compatibility with other control measure have to be verified. The lack of experience and expertise in basic techniques for exploiting fungal pathogens of insect as a biocontrol agent of the BPH is still a bottle neck in developing a new and e^^ective microbe pesticide to control the BPH. A holistic approach based on a good understanding on biology of potential natural enemies is very importan for developing new and effective microbe pesticides.
