<p>ABSTRAK<br />Penelitian pengendalian penyakit layu bakteri nilam (Ralstonia<br />solanacearum) menggunakan pseudomonad fluoresen di kebun petani<br />nilam Desa Situak Pasaman Barat, Sumatera Barat telah dilakukan pada<br />bulan Oktober 2003 sampai dengan Juni 2004. Penelitian ini bertujuan<br />untuk mendapatkan pseudomonad fluoresen yang berpotensi untuk<br />mengendalikan penyakit layu bakteri, dan meningkatkan pertumbuhan<br />dan produksi nilam. Isolat pseudomonad fluoresen Pf 63, Pf 90, Pf 91, Pf<br />147, dan Pf 180 sebagai perlakuan diisolasi dari rizosfer nilam sehat, dan<br />diseleksi  berdasarkan  kemampuan  antagonistik  terhadap  R.<br />solanacearum secara in vitro di Laboratorium Bakteriologi Tumbuhan<br />Fakultas Pertanian UGM. Isolat pseudomonad fluoresen tersebut<br />diintroduksikan ke nilam dan diadaptasikan selama 1 minggu sebelum<br />ditanam. Tanaman yang telah diperlakukan dengan isolat pseudomonad<br />fluoresen ditanam pada kebun yang telah terinfeksi dengan patogen pada<br />bulan Oktober 2003. Percobaan disusun dalam rancangan acak kelompok<br />(RAK) dengan 6 ulangan. Parameter pengamatan adalah masa inkubasi,<br />intensitas penyakit, pertumbuhan tanaman dan produksi minyak nilam.<br />Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa isolat pseudomonad fluoresen<br />dapat mengendalikan penyakit layu bakteri dengan perpanjangan masa<br />inkubasi 6-52 hari dan penekanan intensitas penyakit 31,11 – 50,56%.<br />Disamping itu isolat pseudomonad fluoresen dapat mempengaruhi<br />peningkatan pertumbuhan tanaman yaitu tinggi tanaman (6,7 – 26,3 cm),<br />jumlah daun (4,6 – 30,1 daun/tanaman) dan berat kering daun (24,5 –<br />154,3 g/tanaman), dan produksi minyak nilam terutama jumlah minyak<br />(4,8 – 22,3 ml/tanaman). Hasil percobaan ini menunjukkan bahwa isolat<br />Pf 91 mempunyai kemampuan antagonistik tertinggi dalam mengen-<br />dalikan penyakit layu bakteri di lapangan.<br />Kata kunci : Nilam, Pogostemon cablin Benth, penyakit layu, bakteri,<br />pengendalian hayati, pseudomonad fluoresen</p><p><br />ABSTRACT<br />Controlling bacterial wilt disease on patchouli plant with<br />fluorescent pseudomonad<br />The study of controlling bacterial wilt disease on patchouli plant<br />(Ralstonia solanacearum) with fluorescent pseudomonad was carried out<br />in a farmer’s field in Situak Village West Pasaman, West Sumatera from<br />October 2003 to June 2004. The aims of the study were to find out the<br />effectiveness of fluorescent pseudomonad for controlling bacterial wilt<br />disease, increasing plant growth and production. Isolates of fluorescent<br />pseudomonad Pf 63, Pf 90, Pf 91, Pf 147 and Pf 180 as treatments were<br />isolated from the rhizosphere of healthy patchouli plant, and selected<br />based on antagonistic activity on R. solanacearum in vitro at the<br />Laboratory of Plant Bacteriology, Faculty of Agriculture, UGM. The<br />isolates were inoculated on patchouli plant and adapted for one week<br />before planting. The plants treated with fluorescent pseudomonad<br />isolates were planted in the field infected with pathogen on October<br />2003. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design<br />(RBD) with six replications. The assessment parameters were incubation<br />period, disease intensity, plant growth and production of patchouli plants.<br />The results showed that fluorescent pseudomonad isolates could control<br />the bacterial wilt disease and delay the incubation period 6-52 days and<br />decrease the disease intensity 31,11–50,56%. In addition fluorescent<br />pseudomonad isolates could affect the increase of plant growth, i.e. plant<br />height ( 6,7 – 26,3 cm ), leaf numbers (4,6 – 30,1 leaves/plant) and dry<br />weight of leaves (24,5 – 154,3 g/plant), and plant production, especially<br />oil content (4,8 – 22,3 ml/plant). The results of the experiment showed<br />that Pf 91 isolate had the highest antagonistic activity on controlling the<br />bacterial wilt disease on field.<br />Key words : Patchouli, Pogostemon cablin Benth, wilt disease,<br />bacterial, biological control, fluorescent pseudomonad</p>
