Abstract. Herlinda S, Suwandi S, Irsan C, Adrian R, Fawwazi F, Akbar F. 2023. Species diversity and abundance of parasitoids of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from South Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 6184-6190. The parasitoid species attacking Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) have never been reported from South Sumatra. The objectives of this research were to identify and analyze the species diversity of egg and larval parasitoids of S. frugiperda and to determine their abundance in corn fields from South Sumatra. Surveys were carried out in Ogan Komering Ilir District, Ogan Ilir District, Muara Enim District, and Palembang City. The results showed that fourteen species of parasitoids were found attacking eggs and larvae of S. frugiperda in South Sumatra. Two species were egg parasitoids (Telenomus remus (Nixon) and Trichogramma sp.), and 12 species of larval parasitoids (Chelonus formosanus Sonan, Chelonus oculator F., Chelonus annulipes Wesm., Chelonus cautus (Cresson), Microplitis manilae Ashmead, Microplitis marshallii Kokujev, Euplectrus corriemoreauae Hansson, Compsilura concinnata (Meigen), Sarcophaga sp., Macrocentrus sp., Exorista sp., and Megaselia sp.). The most abundant species of the parasitoids found was T. remus. The highest species diversity was found in Muara Enim District. The number of parasitoid species was greater in the dry season compared to the rainy season. Egg parasitism rates were significantly higher at the corn vegetative stage (59.03%) compared to the generative stage (53.56%).

Abstract. Suwandi S, Alesia M, Munandar RP, Fadli R, Suparman S, Irsan C, Muslim A. 2024. The suppression of Ganoderma boninense on oil palm under mixed planting with taro plants. Biodiversitas 25: 1143-1150. Basal stem rot, caused by Ganoderma boninense, is highly destructive in monoculture oil palm plantations. This study evaluated Ganoderma boninense infections and oil palm growth in mixed plantings of oil palm seedlings and taro plants (Japanese, Bogor, and Indralaya taro). Ganoderma, colonizing rubber wood blocks, was inoculated into mixed plants, and the infection was compared to single-inoculated oil palm and taro plants. The interference of mixed planting with taro plants on the growth of oil palm seedlings was compared between inoculated and noninoculated mixed and single planting. Ganoderma inoculation caused simultaneous disease (dual-host infection) in mixed oil palm and taro plants. Ganoderma infection was less severe in taro plants compared to oil palm, whether in single or mixed planting. Over six months, oil palm root necrosis and disease index were reduced by 82% to 96% and 65% to 71%, respectively, while no significant effect was observed at nine months. The decay of Ganoderma-colonized wood improved by 44.1% to 84.0% in mixed planting, with no significant impact on mycelium viability. Taro plants did not inhibit oil palm growth, including plant height, leaf area, and relative growth rate of primary root length, in both the presence and the absence of Ganoderma infection. This study highlights the potential of mixed planting with taro to reduce Ganoderma disease in oil palm.
