Abstract
Rhinocorisfuscipes are predators that play a role in controlling plant pests. This study aims to determine the effect of some artificial diet on the breeding of R. fuscipes assassin bug in the laboratory. This research was conducted from July to August 2018, at the Laboratory of Plant Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sumatera Utara. The research method used a Non-Factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of controls (T. molitor), egg yolks, Artemia salina, plant foods from soybean (Glycine max). The results showed that control treatment F = 85,397 (p <0.05), egg yolk F = 17,552 (p <0.05), Artemia salina F = 8,936 (p <0.05), plant feed from soybean juice F = 8,377 (p <0.05) significant effect on R. fuscipes body length, on R. fuscipes body width only egg yolk treatment F = 7.161 (p <0.05) which had a significant effect on body weight and only soybean treatment F = 12.297 (p <0.05) which was significant.
