Arthropoda Diversity in Several Agroecosystems in Tulungrejo Village, Ngantang, Malang Regency

Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the diversity of arthropods present in several agroecosystems in Tulungrejo village, Ngantang, Malang Regency. The research was conducted using a survey method by collecting insects directly, and using various traps, including yellow sticky traps, pitfall traps, and insect nets. The research was conducted on four different agroecosystems, production forest, agroforesti, seasonal cropland and corn plantation area. Based on the results of research on fictitious triangles, production forest was dominated by other insects, agroforesti was dominated by insect pests, land for seasonal crops was dominated by natural enemies and none dominates in corn plantations. The Shannon-Weiner diversity index of arthropods found in these agroecosystems has moderate diversity values ​​between 1.28 – 2.81. This research is expected to be able to provide preliminary information about the diversity of arthropods that can determine appropriate pest control in the agroecosystem in Tulungrejo, Ngantang, Malang Regency.
