Biopestisida berpotensi sebagai alternatif pengganti pestisida sintetik. Penelitian bertujuan menguraikan komposisi jenis hama yang ditemukan pada areal budidaya tanaman kedelai, serta membandingkan intensitas serangan hama tanaman menggunakan beberapa biopestisida cendawan entomopatogen. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok dengan satu faktor perlakuan yakni Biopestisida berbahan aktif cendawan entomopatogen. Bahan aktif terdiri dari L. lecanii, B. bassiana, dan M. anisopliae, dan bahan aktif senyawa kimia sintetik (kontrol). Masing-masing perlakuan diulang sebanyak 6 kali sehingga diperoleh 24 petak percobaan. Data pengamatan meliputi pertumbuhan, hasil tanaman, komposisi hama, dan intensitas serangan hama. Analisis data menggunakan Uji F (analisis sidik ragam), Uji DMRT, dan Uji Chi-Square untuk kehadiran hama pada masing-masing perlakuan. Hasil Penelitian menujukkan tinggi tanaman, jumlah cabang produktif, jumlah polong, berat polong, dan berat biji segar tertinggi pada perlakuan kontrol. Komposisi hama terdiri dari ulat grayak belalang, serta kepik. Tidak terdapat perbedaan kehadiran hama pada masing-masing perlakuan. Tingkat kerusakan daun terendah pada 2 MST pada perlakuan B. bassiana. Selanjutnya, 4 MST dan 6 MST pada pestisida M. Anisopliae, serta 8 MST pada L. lecanii dengan masing-masing kerusakan sebesar 16.69%, 18.59%, 20.88%, dan 20.24%. Perbedaan kerusakan daun pada perlakuan kontrol dan biopestisida B. bassiana dan M. anisopliae pada 2 MST. Jumlah polong hampa terendah pada perlakuan kontrol, mencapai 0.8 polong per tanaman. Sedangkan, intensitas kerusakan polong terendah juga pada perlakuan kontrol mencapai 3.3%. Terdapat perbedaan signifikan perlakuan kontrol dengan biopestisida. Hasil analisis ragam juga menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan signifikan antara perlakuan kontrol dengan perlakuan Biopestisida terhadap kerusakan daun 4, 6, dan 8 MST, tingkat kerusakan polong, dan jumlah polong hampa. Hasil ini menunjukkan Biopestisida dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif, namun efektivitasnya tidak mampu melebihi pestisida sintetik pada budidaya tanaman Edamame.

Biopesticides are potentially used as an alternative to synthetic pesticides. This study aimed to describe the composition of pest species found in soybean cultivation areas and compare the intensity of plant pest attacks using several entomopathogenic fungal biopesticides. The study used a randomized block design with one treatment factor, biopesticides with active ingredients of entomopathogenic fungi. The active ingredients possess L. Lecanii, B. Bassiana, M. Anisopliae, and the active synthetic chemical compounds (control). Each treatment was conducted 6 times to obtain 24 experimental plots. Observational data included growth, crop yield, pest composition, and pest attack intensity. Data analysis used the F test (analysis of variance), the DMRT test, and the Chi-Square test for the presence of pests in each treatment. The results showed that the control treatment had the highest plant height, number of productive branches, pods, pod weight, and fresh seed weight. The pest composition consists of armyworms, locusts, and ladybugs. There was no difference in the presence of pests in each treatment. The lowest level of leaf damage was at 2 WAP in the B. Bassiana treatment. Furthermore, 4 MST and 6 MST on M. Anisopliae pesticides and 8 MST on L. Lecanii with damage of 16.69%, 18,59%, 20.88%, and 20.24%, respectively. Differences in leaf damage in the control and biopesticide treatments of B. Bassiana and M. Anisopliae at 2 WAP. The lowest number of empty pods was in the control treatment, reaching 0.8 pods per plant. Meanwhile, the lowest pod damage intensity was also in the control treatment reaching 3.3%. there is a significant difference in the control treatment with biopesticides. The analysis of variance also showed no significant difference between the control treatment and the biopesticide treatment on leaf damage at 4, 6, and 8 WAP, the degree of pod damage, and the number of empty pods. These results indicate that biopesticide can be used as an alternative, but its effectiveness cannot exceed synthetic pesticides in Edamame cultivation.
