Abstract

Corn is a commodity in agriculture and Indonesian economic that has a multi-purpose function, both for food and feed. Corn in Indonesia is a major food staple and agricultural commodity after rice. One obstacle in effort to increase the productivity of corn is stem borer Ostrinia furnacalis which can attack plants in all phases of growth. Entomopathogenic application of Beauveria bassiana is an effort to control stem borer. The objective of the study is to observe B. bassiana still exist in FI seeds that grow as endophytic and the ability to infect stem borer on two corn varieties, Lamuru and Batara. Both varieties are F1 of B. bassiana endophytic–corn. The results showed that the number of larvae of O. furnacalis on the Lamuru variety was higher than Batara. Lamuru variety has higher infestation of O. furnacalis than Batara variety. The percentages of infected larvae by B. bassiana in Lamuru and Batara varities are 83% (from 18 larvae) and 100% (from 4 larvae), respectively.
