Abstract

One of the local medicinal plant resources widely used for medicine is a fameflower Talinum paniculatum Jacq. (Gaertn.). This plant is mostly used for energy drink or tonic to stimulate performance. Coried bug, Cletus capitulatus (Hemiptera: Coreidae), was found attacking T. paniculatum plant in the medicinal plant science techno park, Bogor. This pest destroys the plant by piercing the fruit and sucking the liquid inside the fruit, consequently the healthy and reddish fruit will be dry and browning like burned and eventually falls out. No previous reports on this pest attack on this plant. The aim of this study is to investigate the bioecology of C. capitulatus, particularly on fameflower. This information will be beneficial for the development of control strategies and for rearing the insects to support the further research activities. The study was conducted at the pest laboratory of Indonesian Spice and Medicinal Crops Research Institute (ISMCRI) from November 2016 to Mei 2017. Bioecological of C. capitulatus was observed, and data were recorded by digital MicroCapture Pro Ver 2.3 from egg to adult every 24 hours. The longevity and size of body both male and female were measured. The result shows that the development time of C. capitulatus male and female from egg to adult were 14,8 ± 0,30 and 27,7 ± 0,48 days respectively, which were through the egg phase, instar nymphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and adult. Female showed to develop longer than the male.
