Abstract

Diversity in animals is a variation of the structure, shape, number, and other properties at a particular time and place. Diversity describes a situation that varies from one person to another, objects that occur cause differences in size, shape, texture, and amount. Arthropods are animals with segmented legs, and segments on the body belong to the animals that live both above and below the ground. This research aims to know the diversity and types of ground surface arthropods in the forest surrounding the Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science, Manado State University. This research is located in the forest area of the Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science, Universitas Negeri Manado, Tonsaru village, South Tondano District, Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi. Taking data using the pitfall trap method and analyzing using Shannon Wiener diversity index, species richness index, species evenness index, and species dominance. The data collection and collection results obtained as many as 12 genera with a total of 166 individuals. Namely, Myrmica, Carebara, Paraponera, Papederinae, Anisolabis, Hogna, Spirostreptus, Cafius, Phalangium, Opilio, Oxidus, and Pholidoptera. The diversity index value yields 1,11043. The species richness index shows a value of 2,1518. Index the evenness of the species showed a value of 0,44687. The dominance of type indicates a value of 0,457. The level of diversity is moderate, species richness is low, evenness is moderate, and species dominance is low.

Abstract

Avocado (Persea americana Mill) is a fruit plant that has high nutritional value and is relatively economical. Efforts to increase the production of avocado seeds (Persea americana Mill) are still often constrained by pests and diseases. This study aims to determine the types of insects associated with avocado seeds (Persea americana Mill) and the level of damage to avocado seeds (Persea americana Mill) due to insect pests in Seeds Garden of the Melati Women Farmer Group 2, Ranowulu District, Bitung City. This study used a survey method, namely direct observation (visual) of pests that attack avocado seeds (Persea americana Mill). This research is a descriptive research with survey method. Observation activities by direct observation on avocado plant seeds (Persea americana Mill). Insects were identified using an insect identification book guide. The results of identification and direct observation at the Seeds Garden of the Melati Women Farmers Group 2, Ranowulu District, Bitung City, found 3 orders consisting of 4 insects, namely the Ordo Orthoptera Wood Grasshopper (Valanga nigricornis) and Green Steamed Grasshopper (Atractomorpha crenulata), Ordo Homoptera White Dompolan Tick (Planococcus citri), Ordo Hemiptera Bapak Pucung (Dysdercus cingulatus). The results showed that the percentage of seeds attacked by insect pests in the Seeds Garden of the Melati Women Farmer Group 2, Ranowulu District, Bitung City with a seedling age of 1-10 months was 36.66% and a damage rate of 26.97% of the total seeds of the 30 seeds that had been observed and included in the moderately damaged category.

Abstract

One component of integrated pest control is biological control or biological control based on the bioecology of the pest by taking into account the results obtained and their long-term effects through ecology and economy. The success of controlling a type of pest requires studies on various factors that affect the life of a pest, namely biology, morphology, ecology, genetics, and evolution. Knowledge of the biology of a pest species will provide appropriate information in breaking the life cycle or making the surrounding environment not provide optimal carrying capacity so that the pest population can be suppressed below the economic threshold. Spodoptera exigua is a polyphagous insect pest that eats from many plant types. In the larval stage, this pest attacks more than 20 species of cultivated and wild plants. For over twenty years, the onion caterpillar S. exigua has been the main target for chemical control but is still the main pest on onion crops. Spodoptera exigua attacks occur throughout the year in North Sulawesi and are spread over a wide geographical range, allowing genetic differences within the species. Gene mutations cause the occurrence of genetic diversity in a species in a population. High genetic diversity in individuals in a population can be one inhibiting factor in successfully controlling a pest species. Increasing knowledge about the biology of a pest species is very important to understand its habits, reproductive ability, and distribution which will later be used to limit and control the pest population.
