Abstract
White rice tip nematodes, Aphelenchoides besseyi, causes gradual yield loss worldwide including in Indonesia. There are no reports regarding yield losses due to this nematode in North Sumatra. This research was conducted to verify the influence of white tip nematodes on the yield of rice cultivar in greenhouse conditions. The experiment was carried out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 2 factors and four replications. The first factor is rice cultivar (Ciherang, Sintanutr, Pepe, and IPB 3S), and the second factor is the condition of the seeds (naturally infected, uninfected seeds). The results showed that plants with naturally infected seeds decreased the number of tillers and weighed 100 seeds. The number of non-infected puppies is greater than naturally infected seed, but not significantly different at the 5% level.
