Abstract
Downy mildew is a disease that continues to infect corn crops in Timor Tengah Utara regency, reducing the amount of crop production and making corn farmers suffer losses. Farmers continue to look for ways to control downy mildew. Two treatments are commonly used by farmers, namely spraying Fungicides and Pseudomonas Fluorescens simultaneously in one unit of time, but have not resulted in optimal production. Therefore, this research is important to get a more optimal way to control find downy mildew. In this paper, we determine the optimal model of downy mildew control in corn plants by comparing the use of Fungicides and Pseudomonas Fluorescens. This research begins by forming a dynamic mathematical model consisting of six populations, namely four corn populations (Sh, F , P , Ih) and two populations of infecting fungi (Sv , Iv ). Then they obtained the basic reproduction number (R0) and two equilibrium points, namely the disease-free equilibrium and the disease-endemic equilibrium which has asymptotic stability. Numerical simulation results based on optimal control analysis with the minimum Pontryagin principle show that using fungicides can reduce the number of plants infected with downy mildew. Therefore, control by using fungicides is necessary and recommended increasing the number of downy mildew infected plants.
