Endurance Test Of Aromatic Rice From Enrekang Against Bacterial Leaf Blight

Abstract Bacterial leaf blight BLB caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae is an important disease of rice plants . BLB disease control can be carried out by planting varieties that are resistant to BLB. the endurance test of Enrekang aromatic rice needs to be done to obtain information about the level of local aromatic rice resistance to disease BLB which can be used to control the disease. Resistance test of blb disease conducted on 8 different types of local aromatic rice Enrekang using isolate of Xoo-003 which is a collection of BB-Biogen. Inoculation of bacteria-Xoo performed using Clip-way method cutting 5 leaves on each treatment using scissors that has been dipped in Xoo suspension with 108 colony density. As a comparison control used Mekongga moderately resistant varieties. Resilience of local aromatic rice Enrekang on BLB is in the category of disease rather ranges namely pare Mansur lotong tens tens mandoti farming and Pinjan while the range is very parrilea categories solo and kamida.
