Abstract

Abstract. Flowering plants can be used as refugia area for pests’ natural enemies. The aim of
this research was to study the effect of planting flowering plants in rice field border on the
population dynamics of rice stem borers and their natural enemies. The experiment was
arranged in a split plot design, with three replicates, the main plots were types of flowering
plants i.e., Tagetes (Tageteserecta L.), sunflower (Heliantusannus L.) and without flowering
plants (control); the sub plot were rice varieties i.e., Ciherang and Pandan Putri. Rice were
planted in a plot sized 8 x 4 m and the flowering plants were planted along side of the rice
plots. The results showed that the population of rice stem borer was significantly higher on
control plots than those on plots bordered with flowering plants. Population of natural enemies
was significantly lower on rice plots without flowering plants than that on plots bordered with
flowering plants. There were significantly more natural enemies in the plots bordered with
sunflower than Tagetes. The results indicated that planting sunflowers along the rice field
could suppress rice stem borers population and reduced the damage intensity.
