Abstract

The research was conducted in July 2025 using an inventory method by establishing observation transects measuring 100 m in length and 20 m in width. Pest sampling was carried out using several techniques, including hand collecting, pitfall traps, sweep nets, and bait traps. Data analysis was performed by calculating the intensity of pest attacks and the percentage of infestation area on observed plants. The results showed that three main pest species attacked candlenut plants: termites (Cryptotermes sp.), ambrosia beetles (Xylosandrus crassiusculus), and wood grasshoppers (Valanga nigricornis). The highest damage intensity was caused by wood grasshoppers at 26.12%, categorized as moderate damage, while ambrosia beetles caused 4.36% damage and termites 1.10%, both categorized as minor damage. The percentage of infestation area across five observation plots ranged from 50.00% to 69.57%, classified as moderate to severe infestation. The high level of pest infestation was influenced by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, food availability, and habitat conditions that support insect population development. In conclusion, pest attacks on candlenut plants in Wail Matai Hamlet are relatively high, particularly caused by wood grasshoppers that damage the leaves. Therefore, integrated pest management and regular monitoring are necessary to prevent further damage to candlenut plants in the area.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the diversity of insects in the protected forest area of Kota Nona Ambon, as well as the diversity, abundance, and distribution of insects in the area, in order to detect the quality of forest health early. In general, this study employed a sample extraction method. An observation path was created using an inventory method to collect insect data, with a width of 20 meters and a span of 100 meters, and a distance of 10 meters between paths. Data collection on attacks was then carried out. Insects were collected directly, and pitfall traps were set at a distance of 10 meters. Another type of trap was then installed at the next 10 meters along the path. Plots measuring 20 m x 20 m were created on each insect observation path. There are 13 types of insects found in the Gunung Nona forest area, with a total of 185 individuals in 8 orders, namely Diptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Aranae, Odonata, Spiroboliida, Hymenoptera, which are spread across 10 families, namely: Callipholidae, Nymphlidae, Pieridae, Muscidae, Culicidae, Araneidae, Alydidae, Libellulidae, Scarabaeidae, Erebidae, Fomicidae.
