“…These ant species richness values correspond to the number of ant genera found in each research location. The number of ant genera found is directly proportional to the richness value with the Margalef Index (Alvareza et al 2020). In Silo, a total of 7 ant genera were found, whereas in Sumberjambe, 8 ant genera were found.…”

Abstract. Haryadi NT, Kurnianto AS, Dewi N, Sukma GAK, Devarigata ES, Suyitno YMR, Magvira NL, Firdaus AS. 2024. Exploring vegetation's role in enhancing ant-based coffee berry borer control in an agroforestry system. Biodiversitas 25: 491-501. The coffee industry faces a serious threat from coffee berry borer pests, causing significant economic losses. This research aims to explore the potential of using ants as a biological control method in coffee plantations, as well as the influence of shade on ant communities. The research was conducted in the Sumberjambe and Silo Sub-districts using purposive sampling methods to collect ant specimens with the beating sheet method. Specimens were identified in the laboratory, and data were analyzed using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index, the Evenness index, and the Margalef species richness index. The results showed 17 ant genera in Sumberjambe and 13 in Silo, with 7 of them acting as predators. The analysis indicated low diversity (H’=0.88-1.56) with the dominance of the Dolichoderus and Lasius genera at both locations. A high evenness index in Sumberjambe (E=0.75) indicated a uniform distribution, whereas a moderate value in Silo indicated a less uniform ant distribution (E=0.45). Species richness at both locations was considered low (Dmg=0.66-0.91). Comparative tests between the two locations did not show a significant difference in the diversity of ants that could potentially act as predators. This study also includes an analysis of tree species vegetation at the agroforestry sites, with Albizia chinensis trees showing the highest importance value in Silo (INP=209.37). This indicates the significant role of this plant in the ant agroforestry community. The Tapinoma genus (Pearson corr.=0.996, p-value=0.0467) and Solenopsis genus (Pearson corr.=0.993, p-value=0.0432) showed a very strong positive correlation with Albizia plants. However, some other combinations showed weaker correlations or approached zero, indicating that the number of vegetation species did not greatly influence their presence or abundance. This research provides insight into the diversity of ants, their potential role as predators of the coffee berry borer, and the relationship between ants and vegetation on two coffee-based agroforestry fields in Jember District, Indonesia.

“…Tubuh semut terdiri atas tiga bagian, yaitu kepala, mesosoma (dada), dan metasoma (perut) [11] Semut hitam rumah (Ochetellus), walaupun kehadirannya secara kasat mata tidak membahayakan tanaman, semut bisa menjadi hama yang secara tidak langsung mengganggu produktivitas tanaman. Gangguan atau perubahan lingkungan dapat berpengaruh pada berkurangnya keragaman semut, perubahan komposisi jenis, serta berkurangnya fungsi ekologis yang diperankan oleh semut [12]. Ciri morfologi dari semut ini tidak jauh berbeda dengan jenis semut lainnya, terdapat antena yang panjang dan terdiri dari 9-12 segmen, pada rahang terdapat gigi yang banyak, memiliki mata yang besar bewarna hitam terletak disamping kepala, terdapat satu nodus pada pedicel, duri tajam pada kaki dan perut terangkat ke atas [13].…”

Tanaman coklat (Theobroma cacao L.) merupakan salah satu tanaman perkebunan Indonesia yang paling banyak di budidayakan, namun ekosistem pertanian di Indonesia yang beriklim tropis memiliki berbagai jenis musuh alami baik itu parasitoid maupun predator yang secara efektif dapat menekan populasi serangga hama. Serangga menjadikan tanaman kakao sebagai rumah, memakan, atau menghisap cairan pada daun, buah, batang sehingga menyebabkan kerusakan sekaligus kematian. Kawasan Hutan Dengan Tujuan Khusus (KHDTK) Desa Borisallo, Kecamatan Parangloe Kabupaten Gowa tersebut sebagian besarnya ditumbuhi oleh tanaman kakao namun pertumbuhannya tidak maksimal dikarenakan serangan serangga hama. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu mengetahui serangga jenis apa saja yang dapat menyerang tanaman kakao (Theobroma cacao L.). Penelitian ini dilakukan pada tanggal 18-17 Januari 2023 di Kawasan Hutan Dengan Tujuan Khusus (KHDTK) Borisallo, Kabupaten Gowa, Sulawesi Selatan. Metode yang digunakan ialah metode jelajah yang dilakukan secara acak dengan melakukan pengamatan langsung pada tanaman kakao (Theobroma cacao L.). hasil pengamatan menunjukkan sebanyak 4 Ordo, 4 famili, dan 5 spesies. Serangga-serangga tersebut menyerang batang, bunga, buah dan daun.
