Abstract:

Bacterial leaf blight (HDB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae is one of the important diseases that can reduce upland rice production. One of the efforts to control leaf blight can use biological agents (FMA). FMA is one of the fungi from the plant growth promoting fungi (PGPF) group that is able to increase plant growth while controlling various types of diseases. PGPF can improve plant growth through several mechanisms, namely hormone production, helps mineralization and suppression of microorganisms that harm plants. The observed variables included leaf laceration length (cm) and the maximum number of tillers (stems). FMA application affects the development of bacterial leaf blight (HDB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, at a dose of 10 and 20 g can inhibit the length of the resulting lesion is shorter, and increase the number of tillers. FMA dose of 10 g/plant is the right dose in controlling bacterial leaf blight (HDB) and increasing the maximum number of tillers.
