<![CDATA[Mount Raung is a mountain located in three districts in East Java, namely Jember district and Bondowoso district, and Banyuwangi district. One of the land uses for the western slopes of Mount Raung is used as coffee-based agroforestry land. The coffee berry borer is a pest that is often encountered by coffee farmers in Rowosari Village and is still difficult to control. One control that can be carried out is creating vegetation that supports the presence of natural enemies, especially Dolichoderus sp. This research aims to determine the effect of different types of agroforestry on the population of black ants (Dolichoderus sp.). This research was carried out using the vegetation analysis method to determine the character of the vegetation and using a vacuum tool to collect the ants. The number of ant populations Dolichoderus sp. on simple coffee-based agroforestry land there were 6,520 individuals, while on complex agroforestry land there were 1,330 individuals. The data obtained was then analyzed using regression and correlation analysis. The result showed that the diversity and richness of tree plants had a negative relationship, while the relationship between diversity and richness of understory plants showed a positive relationship. Keywords: agroforestry, coffee plant, Dolichoderus sp.]]>
