Snails are one of the plant pest organisms (OPT) that attack rice fields, especially rice plants. This is due to the rapid development of snails in rice fields and able to damage rice plants in a short period of time. Snails eat the base of the young rice plant, namely in the rice nursery at the age of 1-2 weeks. Explains that the snail pest attack causes damage to rice nurseries at the age of 10 days to reach 96.5%, and at 10 days old rice growth reaches 13.16%. This causes the growth of young rice plants to be damaged or stopped and causes rice plant productivity decrease.
Snails are known as pests for rice plants, their rapid reproduction makes the number of populations abundant, especially during the rainy season, making it difficult to control. Efforts to control these pests are needed, one of which is by using botanical pesticides from plants that have the potential to have toxic properties for snails, including biduri sap and lerak fruit.
That's a little knowledge that I know. Hopefully this information can add to the knowledge of all friends. Thank you for dropping by at my post. Until we meet again in my next article about various other animals.
Thanks
