Keanekaragaman Serangga Pengunjung Tanaman Cabai Rawit (Capsicum annuum L.) di Wiyoro, Bantul

Abstract

<p><em>Chili is one of the plants that’s planted Indonesian. Excessive use of chemical insecticides in chili planters can cause damage to ecosystems for example reducing in biodiversity. This study aims to determine the diversity and abundance of insects found in chili plants in Banguntapan, Bantul. Sampling uses indirect capture, insect nets, yellow pan traps (YPT), and pitfalls. Insect nets were swung along vertically in chili beds. 15 pieces of YPT and pitfalls were installed for each trap. Sampling was done 8 times in 2 months. The results were order that had most species was Hymenoptera (83 species), while the least were Blattaria, Dermaptera, Diplura, Strepsiptera, and Trombidiformes, each 1 species. The order that has the most abundance individuals was Diptera with 2939 individuals. The species that has the highest abundance was Paratrechina longicornis (Hym: Formicidae) with 1071 individuals. The Shanon-Wiener Index value obtained is 1.883621, which classified as medium diversity.</em><em></em></p>

Inventory of Arthropods on the Soil Surface in Chili Plant Ecosystems Cultivated by IPM

“…as many as 3 individuals, while in the non-IPM plot no parasitoids were found, only 78 individuals of Paratrechina longicornis predators and 78 individuals of Lycosa pseudoanulata were found. Putra and Utami [20] found the same thing in a study on chili plants in Bantul, Yogyakarta, where the most common natural enemy species was Paratrechina longicornis. Paratrechina longicornis has the ability to survive in very dry and rather humid areas, consuming both live and dead insects (Bolton, 1971 cited in [21]).…”
