ABSTRACT
The brown planthopper pest is the main pest that attacks the rice plants. This pest attack occurred in the New Order era and continued until the 2010s. One of the areas affected by the brown plant hopper pest is Lamongan, which is an area with high rice production in East Java. This paper uses the historical method, namely topic selection, heuristics or source collection, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The result is that the brown planthopper pest attacks occurred in various areas of rice fields in Lamongan Regency. The impact felt by farmers is the decline in rice production, which has an impact on decreased income. The control is carried out by farmers and the government. The conclusion is that the brown planthopper pest can damage and harm the agricultural environment due to attacks that occur almost every year.
