Abstract

This study aims to compare the diversity of insect species and their ecological roles in two types of crops, namely long beans (Vigna sinensis L.) and corn (Zea mays), cultivated in Banjarsari Village, Serang City, Banten. The study was conducted over two days in March 2025, utilizing observation and sampling methods with a single-sweep technique in both the morning and afternoon sessions. The results showed that the long bean plantation had higher insect diversity compared to the corn plantation. In total, 14 insect species were identified, belonging to 11 families and five orders, with ecological functions classified as herbivores, predators, and pollinators. The species Valanga nigricornis was the most dominant herbivore, especially on long bean plants. Meanwhile, species from the Formicidae and Libellulidae families acted as natural predators, and the species Apis cerana and Ropalidia marginata functioned as pollinators. Environmental factors, including vegetation type, soil moisture, and food availability, influenced the presence of various insect types. The results of this study underscore the significance of insect diversity as an indicator of agricultural ecosystem stability, as well as a crucial component in the management of sustainable agroecosystems.

Abstract

Organic and inorganic waste sorting is a simple waste management practice that needs to be introduced from an early age. Limited understanding of waste types and proper waste management may influence students' waste disposal habits. This activity aimed to improve students' knowledge of organic and inorganic waste sorting and management through educational activities and direct practice. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed involving 38 sixth-grade students at SDN 1 Cileles. The educational intervention consisted of interactive lectures, group discussions, visual analysis, question-and-answer sessions, and direct waste-sorting practice using specially prepared organic and inorganic waste bins. Students' knowledge was measured using pretest and posttest scores and analyzed descriptively using mean scores and normalized gain (N-gain). The results showed that the mean pretest score increased from 58.42 to 72.37 in the posttest, with a mean N-gain of 0.214, categorized as low. These findings indicate an increase in students' knowledge after participating in the educational activities, although the improvement was not optimal. Direct practice using separated waste bins provided students with an applicable learning experience in implementing waste-sorting concepts. Similar educational activities should be conducted continuously through habituation and the provision of appropriate waste-sorting facilities in the school environment.
