Abstract

Rust disease is a group of plant diseases caused by fungi belonging to the race (order) Pucciniales. This disease is

most clearly visible symptoms on the leaves, so it is called leaf rust. Symptoms are characterized by the appearance

of reddish-brown spots on the leaves that get bigger and bigger. These spots are usually surrounded by yellow

tissue due to chlorosis of leaves. Several studies have proven that brown rust disease in plants, especially leaves,

has a very bad impact on fruit yield. The purpose of this study is to study; (1) How does brown rust disease occur

on duku leaves? (2) What is the environmentally friendly pest control model for the control of brown rust disease

on duku leaves? Type of literature research with a qualitative descriptive approach and analysis with an inductive

approach. The results showed that brown rust disease on duku leaves is a disease caused by Hemileia vastatrix

fungi, fungi, bacteria and viruses. Environmentally friendly pest control for the control of brown rust disease on

duku fruit leaves include; 1) Organic Pesticides, 2) Vegetable pesticides, 3) Integrated pest control, 4) Routine

land use. With several environmentally friendly pest control models, pest control against all types of plant diseases,

including spots or rust on plants and fruits, including brown rust on duku leaves, will be resolved in the long term

without side effects or damage to plants and the environment
