30 Hektare Tanaman Bawang Terserang Ulat

BANTUL--MICOM: Tanaman bawang merah seluas 30 hektare yang berada di lahan pasir di Desa Srigading, Kecamatan Sanden, Kabupaten Bantul, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, terserang ulat.

"Serangan ulat grayak terjadi sejak sekitar sepekan lalu, namun serangan ulat masih dalam intensitas ringan," kata Ketua Kelompok Gabungan Tani (Gapoktan) di Dusun Cetan, Srigading, Sanden, Sunardi di Bantul, Rabu (13/7).

Menurut dia, serangan ulat tersebut berasal dari telur kupu-kupu yang menurutnya berasal dari pepohonan yang berada di sekitar lahan tanaman bawang dan telah berkembang biak.

"Pascapanen padi ini mungkin penyebabnya, karena kupu-kupu yang sebelumnya hinggap di sawah terbang berpindah ke pohon sekitar bawang merah yang kemudian menyerang tananam bawang," katanya.

Ia mengatakan, meski begitu serangan ulat tersebut masih dapat dikendalikan dengan disemprot pestisida takumi. Setelah disemprot, ulat tersebut berangsur berkurang.

Menurut dia, serangan ulat ringan tersebut mencakup tanaman bawang di sejumlah dusun di Desa Srigading Sanden, diantaranya Dusun Cetan, Ngepet, Baran, Sogi, Tegalrejo dan Tegal sari. (Ant/OL-9)
