Abstract. Hodiyah I, Suryaman M, Hartini E, Juhaeni AH, Laksana BY, Aisyah, Benatar GV. 2024. Diversity of morphology, pathogenicity, and host range of Colletotrichum spp. associated with chili anthracnose in East Priangan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 25: 533-541. Chilies, in Indonesia, encounter several obstacles that impact their production and quality. Chili production in Indonesia has seen oscillations, partly due to the detrimental effects of anthracnose disease produced by the Colletotrichum fungus species. The disease has a detrimental effect on the quality of fruit, foliage, and plants, resulting in unpredictable yields and significant losses, especially during the rainy season. Although chilies has important economic value in Indonesia, more comprehensive studies are needed on chili anthracnose in the East Priangan area, West Java Province, Indonesia. The purpose of this research was to specifically investigate the incidence of chili anthracnose and to isolate the pathogen responsible for the disease. Colletotrichum isolates were subjected to morphological characterization and pathogenicity tests to assess their virulence. In addition, the research evaluated the possible spectrum of hosts that these isolates might infect in order to determine their effect on other commodities. In East Priangan, chili anthracnose disease was found everywhere with severe disease incidence. Highest disease incidence was recorded in Garut District (100%), and the lowest was in Ciamis District (50.5%). The isolation results showed that a total of 18 diverse isolates were isolated from three chilli species at different altitudes. Macroscopic and microscopic characteristics showed variability, with growth rates ranged from 0.24 to 3.7 mm per day and diverse conidia shapes and sizes. The pathogenicity test confirmed the virulence of 17 isolates, causing symptoms with concave circular wound diameters ranged from 6.88 to 61.08 mm. Host range results demonstrated the pathogenicity of specific isolates to tomatoes, strawberries, and grapes, with strawberries exhibited higher severity levels (28.05 to 56.38 mm lesions). Gaining comprehensive knowledge about the variety and widespread occurrence of chili anthracnose in this particular area is essential for formulating effective measures to minimize its adverse effects on chili cultivation and guarantee the long-term viability of the chili sector in Indonesia. To our knowledge, this is the first study of chili anthracnose in the East Priangan region.

Rush Farming of Konjac (Amorphophallus Muelleri) Among Novice Farmers in Ciamis Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia: a Descriptive Study

Rush farming among novice farmers because of incomplete information on konjac crop management needs further investigation. Nonetheless, the rush in West Java province has positively impacted farmers and rural economic improvement. This study is intended to identify the factors responsible for the farming of konjac, its implications, and the necessary response. The survey was conducted in Jelegong, Ciamis district, West Java province, using the triangulation method to interview 37 farmers. The finding was that rush farming was triggered by the misinterpretation of incomplete information on cultivation technology and the inaccurate projection of market demand due to excessive forecasting of profits. This rush is probably a phenomenon that is supposed to be maintained carefully because such farming still provides additional income and does not require specific skills. The rush also successfully attracted the interest of new investors to be involved in konjac business and government attention in distributing various incentives. Despite the rush stimulating economic growth in the village, it threatens the supply of other agricultural commodities because konjac has replaced other crops on the same land. This research also found that there are two types of konjac farming in rural society i.e., (i) cultivating konjac without shade is better suited to smallholder farmers with less capital and less maintenance. (ii) Cultivating konjac in the shade is better suited to rich farmers or industries requiring intensive maintenance. Therefore, we suggest that the government issue a map about the site suitability of various crops for the West Java region, allowing farmers to seek advice on the appropriate crop types to grow by region. To meet future demand, it is necessary to combine traditional knowledge mainly on collecting corms (ngabolang) and planting methods with scientific knowledge.
