The cause is often the fruit fly (Bactrocera spp.). This pest arrives uninvited, and its impact can cut harvests sharply.","Tanaman cabai bisa tampak sehat dari jauh, tetapi begitu didekati ternyata banyak buah yang rusak, busuk, bahkan rontok sebelum waktu panen. Sering kali penyebabnya adalah lalat buah (Bactrocera spp.). Hama ini datang tanpa permisi, dan dampaknya bisa membuat panen turun drastis.",{"en":46,"id":47},"For that reason, more farmers are shifting to safer, more environmentally friendly controls. One is biological control, a method that uses natural materials and the pest's natural enemies to suppress its population. Besides being effective, it helps keep the land and crop healthy over the long term.","Karena itu, makin banyak petani mulai beralih ke cara pengendalian yang lebih aman dan ramah lingkungan. Salah satunya adalah pengendalian hayati, metode yang memanfaatkan bahan alami dan musuh alami hama untuk menekan populasinya.
