Abstract

Spodoptera exigua is the main pest on shallot plants. The attack rate can reach 40% which results in a decrease in onion production. One way of controlling the environment that is environmentally friendly and reduces pest resistance is by intercropping using aromatic plants. This study aims to control the pest attack Spodoptera exigua. The research method used a randomized block design with 4 treatments, namely: monoculture (P1), onion and celery intercropping (P2), onion and mint intercropping (P3), onion and rosemary intercropping (P4). Each treatment was repeated 6 times so that there were 24 experimental units. In each experiment, the calculation of farming analysis was carried out. Observations of pests were carried out on colonization, attack area, attack level, and intensity of attack of Spodoptera exigua. This intercropping research with aromatic plants aims to determine the effect of several types of aromatic plants on attack. Selection of the right aromatic plants can affect the attack of Spodoptera exigua. Rosemary plants were most affected by Spodoptera exigua attacks compared to mint and celery plants.
