| dc.description.abstract | One of the factors affected the increasing of soybean production in Indonesia is
a disease caused by fungal pathogen, i.e. sclerotium blight disease caused by Sclerotium
rolfsii. Integrated control was not applied yet intensively by the farmers. Straw mulch
were used to control bean fly (Ophiomyia phaseoli) but not for sclerotium blight
disease. Some growth-promoting bacteria have been applied to enhance the growth of
soybean plants but it still limited in the green house. There are few reports related with
integrated control of basal stem rot of soybean especially application in the field. This
experiment was conducted to evaluate the application of varieties, straw- mulch, and
plant growth-promoting bacteria in integrated way to control the incidence of basal stem
rot caused by S. rolfsii in soybean. Two soybean cultivars and two isolates of POPB
were used in this experiment. Research result showed there were no significantly
different effects of the interaction of varieties, straw mulch, and POPB. Significant
single effects toward disease incidence and AUDPC values were only shown by the
application POPB and straw mulch. The value of Area Under Disease Progress Curve
(AUDPC) on plots covered with straw mulch (829.9 units) were significantly higher
compared with those on plots without straw mulch (458.9 units). Plants in plots treated
with POPB have AUDPC values 464.3 units which significantly lower compared with
the plots without application of POPB (824.7 units). Disease incidence and the AUDPC
value on Anjasmoro and Oepak Kuning varieties were not significantly different | id |
