Abstract

Insects are the dominant animal group on earth with nearly 80 % species of the total animals on the surface. Insects are often found on plantation land such as durian plantations. Durian plants are visited by insects for various purposes such as helping pollination and collecting finding food. This research was focus on the distribution of insect species as an indicator to determine the age of the Durian Tree in the Pulo Senang Plantation, Tangse-Pidie. The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of indicator insect species based on the age of Durian Tree. This research was conducted in several Durian tree plantations in Pulo Seunong, Pidie from November to October 2017. The method used in this research surveys with random purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed quantitatively. The results showed that the distribution of insects species found in this study was distributed in 3 parts of durian, namely the root, the stem, and the leaf. The most dominant insect found in the range 0-5 years old, 6-10 years old, and more than 11 years old durian tree were. the species was found on that range age is Solenopsis invicta species (39%), Dolichoderus thoracicus (33%), Coponatus sp (29%).

Highlights

Insects are the dominant animal group on earth with nearly 80 % of the total number of species on earth
Species - These species spread to certain parts of the durian plant
The age classification of plants is classified into 3 groups, namely the age range 0-5 years, 6-10 years, and more than 11 years. This age categorization is based on the distribution of the number of samples of durian plants in the study area so that the number of plant samples is evenly distributed in each age range

Summary

Introduction

Insects are the dominant animal group on earth with nearly 80 % of the total number of species on earth. The role of visitor insects varies, among others as phytophagous, predators, parasitoids and as plant pollinators[1]. The diversity of visitor insects on plants can be influenced by several factors namely time, flower color, flower shape, number of flowers that bloom and the volume of flower nectar [2]. The presence of insects is influenced by the color of the flower, the type of flower, and the shape of the flower as a whole which will affect the presence of the insect in a flower. Certain combinations of these characteristics are often associated with certain species of pollinating insects.
