Abstract

This research aims to examine the effects of several refugia plant treatments on the diversity and number of ants in the ratoon sugarcane system. The diversity and abundance of ants in the plantation's surrounding habitats can fluctuate. Three combinations of flowering plants were used in the study: Turnera subulata Sm (Malpighiales: Passifloraceae), Cosmos sulphureus (Asteraceae: Asteraceae), and Zinnia elegans Jaqc (Asterales: Asteraceae). Ant samples were collected using yellow sticky traps and traps and yellow pan traps. R. software was used to examine all of the data. 4 subfamilies, 14 genera, and 25 species: Diacamma sp., Technomyrmex sp., Camponotus sp.1., Iridiomyrmex sp., Delichoderus sp., Leptogenys sp.; Odontomachus sp., Polyrachis sp., Pheidole sp., Tetramorium sp., Monomorium sp., Crematogaster sp., Oecophylla smaragdina was identified from the report's results, this included 1-86 individuals. Tetramorium sp. and Odonthomachus sp. were the most common ants found at the study site. Even before compared to the other treatments, the combination of refugia and Z. elegans, C. sulphureus, T. subulata treatment used to have a significant impact on the presence of ants, increasing the population by 21%. This study discovered that combining refugia could increase ant diversity in ratoon sugarcane. The diversity index value for all treatments was almost the same, in the range of 2.-9-2.82, indicating that the main composition of refugia was moderately diverse.

Abstract

Climate change is closely related to changes in abiotic conditions. These changes could have an impact on agricultural cultivation and affect the existence of agricultural arthropods. Different environmental conditions will influence the distribution patterns, richness and diversity of arthropods living in cultivated land. The research was conducted at 8 rice cultivation locations in Greater Malang. Observation of arthropods using pitfall and yellow pan traps, with a diagonal pattern. The total arthropods obtained were 3,937 individuals, 39 families, 46 genera and 48 species. The highest predator species found were Micraspis discolor, the herbivore Nilaparvata lugens, other insect is Culista incidens, and the predator is Drynus baegamensis. The highest index analysis for diversity in Lowokwaru H'= 3,075 in the high category, evenness in Karangploso E=0,864 in the high category and dominance in Pagelaran D=0,179 in the low category. PCA analysis of species composition divided into 2 habitat types, lowland and medium land groups. Species richness increased with increasing observation locations. Environmental factors will bring in species that are suitable for the habitat. Further research needs to be carried out regarding ecological variables or environmental factors, which affect the patterns composition and species richness of arthropods.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of organic fertilizer use and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) on the success of certified organic rice farming in East Java. The research method used is descriptive quantitative with Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) analysis. Data was collected by surveying 100 organic rice farmers in Kediri District. The results showed that the use of organic fertilizers and IPM significantly increased the productivity of organic rice. Organic fertilizers, such as compost and animal manure, can improve soil fertility and crop yields. Meanwhile, IPM helps control pests without using chemical pesticides. The SEM-PLS model confirmed that both variables positively and significantly influence the success of organic rice farming. The results also show that farmers who implement organic farming have a higher level of environmental awareness and are more concerned about consumer health. However, some challenges are still faced, such as limited market access and farmers' lack of knowledge about organic farming techniques. Therefore, more intensive efforts are needed to provide education and training to farmers, as well as to develop policies that support the development of organic farming. In conclusion, the application of organic fertilizer and IPM is the key to the success of organic rice farming in East Java. With the right support, organic farming can be a sustainable solution to increase productivity, preserve the environment, and improve farmers' welfare.
