Surjan and conventional rice fields are two rice farming systems grown in polyculture and monoculture. Differences in agricultural systems can affect insect diversity. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Surjan and conventional rice field ecosystems on the diversity and abundance of detritivores, pollinators, and neutral insects. The research was conducted in Panjatan District, Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta with a survey method in three areas of Surjan and conventional rice fields. Insect samples were collected using four kinds of sweeping net traps, yellow pan traps, yellow sticky traps, and pitfall traps. The results showed that there was no difference in the number of detritivores, pollinators, and neutral insect species in Surjan and conventional rice fields. Meanwhile, the abundance of detritivores, pollinators, and insects with other functions was higher in Surjan rice fields than in conventional rice fields. The results of the analysis of the similarity of structure and species composition of detritivores, pollinators, and insects with other functions show that the structure and composition of the detritivores, pollinators, and neutral insects in Surjan rice fields tend to be different from those in conventional rice fields. Surjan and conventional rice farming systems do not affect the number of detritivores, pollinators, and neutral insect species. However, the abundance of detritivores, pollinators, and neutral insect species in Surjan and conventional rice fields is different due to the differences in plant composition and structure in the two types of rice fields.
