Red chili is one of national strategic commodity, can affect the rate of inflation and is needed by all levels of society. Pest attack often makes low production and the high demand makes price of chili is very high. The aim of this study was to determine the application of pest management technology in farming chili crop in the highlands Province of Bengkulu. The research was conducted in Rejang Lebong and Lebong purposively determined by number of respondents as many as 62 people were taken by random sampling. The results showed an average score of application of crop pest management technology red chili is 2,38 meaning that the overall implementation of technology is not good. 37,5% reduction technology implementation pepper plant pests and diseases in the category is not good that the use of biological pesticides, use of trap insect, and growing border. 37,5% are categorized either using labeled seeds, sanitary land and land preparation is perfect. 25% excellent category that is sprayed with chemicals and use black plastic mulch silver.  Keywords: Application of Technology, Disease, Chili Farm and Highland

Scientific assessment related to the externalities of the tea ecological pest management (TEPM) system that can affect socio-economic development and ecological benefits is important to the sustainable development of the tea industry. This paper used the contingent valuation method to evaluate the externalities associated with TEPM and the factors affecting its adoption by farmers through survey data collected from Anxi county, Fujian province, China. The results showed that the positive externalities, which were not internalized (embodied in price), affected the willingness of tea farmers to adopt TEPM. The willingness to accept a subsidy for adopting the TEPM system was significantly affected by the individual tea farmer’s age, education level, income, plantation, knowledge of human health and risk preference. The compensation threshold of externalities for TEPM was 5668.80 yuan per hectare per year. It is suggested that the government should adopt this threshold as a minimum subsidy to mitigate information asymmetry in two markets, namely ecological management technology and trading between suppliers and buyers of tea products. Finally, production stability and improved price for high quality tea resulting from healthy ecology in TEPM could enhance positive externalities. This coupled with other benefits, such as a reduction in the amount of resources spent on pesticides, could result in governmental subsidies for TEPM being gradually reduced over time.
