| dc.description.abstract | Since Indonesian government has launched Go Organic 2010 to endorsed organic agriculture,
the development of organic farming is growing fast although there are some various problems
behind such as market constraints, the relatively high price of organic products, and
consumer’s interest. The high demand of organic products is related to the public
understanding of the better healthy food. The sustainability in organic farming cannot be
separated from the economic, environmental, and social dimension. Organic farming is not
limited to just substitute the use of synthetic external intake like fertilizers and pesticides, but
also the utilization of natural resources in a sustainable, healthy food production and energy
efficiency. This paper will tell about the preparation of biological agent to be used as
pesticides to control plant diseases. The use of biopesticides has many advantages compare to
synthetic chemical pesticides. Biological agents can be microorganisms, either naturally
occurring such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa, as well as the result of genetic
engineering used to control pests. The preparation of biological agents isolated from a fungus
Beauveria bassiana which an entomopathogenic fungi was carried out in liquid method. Liquid
product has an advantage in terms of the production process more efficient and practical in
use. By using the biopesticides can reduce the use of chemical pesticide and will reduce the
cost of agriculture significantly and it is expected to have positive impact in the development of
organic farming in Indonesia as well as improving welfare of farmers. The manufacturing of B.
bassiana biopesticide was done to support organic farms. From literature, it was proven by
applying organic farming can increase the unhulled rice up to 7.5 ton per hectare compared
with 4.5 ton per hectare in non-organic farming. In calculation, farmers can earn money more
than 50% rather than in conventional farming. So, in terms of feasibility, financially it can be
seen from the BEP (break even point), rasio B / C (benefit cost), and ROI (return on
investment) which shows great results. | in_ID |
