Rice stink bug (L. acuta) is one of the important pests of rice that attacks the crop during the generative stage and can cause yield losses. Pest control commonly practiced by farmers still relies on synthetic insecticides, which may have adverse effects on non-target organisms and the environment. The use of natural attractants may provide an environmentally friendly alternative for rice stink bug management. This study aimed to determine the response of L. acuta to various types of natural attractants and to identify the most promising attractant for attracting rice stink bugs under laboratory and field conditions. The research was conducted in two stages, consisting of laboratory attractant testing followed by field testing. The attractants used were A0 (control), A1 (golden apple snail carcass), A2 (fish gills), A3 (whole fish), A4 (fish head), A5 (crab), A6 (chicken intestine), A7 (rat), A8 (frog), and A9 (sparrow). The laboratory experiment used a non-factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD), while the field experiment used a non-factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The results showed that the type of attractant had a highly significant effect on the response of L. acuta. In the third laboratory observation, treatment A5 produced the highest response, with a mean of 16.33 individuals. A preliminary survey in Sidodadi Emplasmen Village, Kuala Namu, recorded 75 L. acuta individuals from 200 sweep-net strokes. In the field experiment, A5 again produced the highest catch, with a mean of 23.00 individuals. The consistency of the laboratory and field results indicates that crab-based attractant is the most promising natural attractant for attracting L. acuta.
