Abstract

Background: The Hymenoptera Order is one of the most dominant orders in the insect class, both in number of species and in their distribution in various habitats. The role of the Hymenoptera Order, especially parasitoids, is very important in a habitat. The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity of parasitoid insects, especially the order Hymenoptera in rice fields and vegetable gardens. Methods: This research is analytic descriptive. The research method used is a line transect using a sampling technique. The study was conducted in two research areas (rice fields and vegetable gardens) and used three fishing gears (malaise traps, buckets, and insect nets). Results: The results showed that the total number of insects caught was 5037 individuals from 10 orders and 80 family. The diversity of parasitoid insects in this study is in the rice fields H' = 1.80 (moderate diversity) and vegetable gardens H' = 2.26 (moderate diversity). Conclusions: Hymenoptera parasitoid insect diversity was highest in the vegetable garden area.

Highlights

Community structure is a concept that studies the composition or composition of species and their abundance in a community
Rice fields and vegetable gardens are suitable types of agroecosystem for the development of insects, one of which is the parasitoid insects of the order Hymenoptera (Godfray, 1994)
The Hymenoptera order is one of the insect orders that are most beneficial to humans compared to other charges in the insect class

Summary

Introduction

Community structure is a concept that studies the composition or composition of species and their abundance in a community. Rice fields and vegetable gardens are suitable types of agroecosystem for the development of insects, one of which is the parasitoid insects of the order Hymenoptera (Godfray, 1994). The Hymenoptera Order is one of the most dominant orders in the insect class, both in the number of species and in their distribution in various habitats. This study aimed to determine the diversity of parasitoid insects, especially Hymenoptera, in rice and vegetable gardens. The study was conducted in two research areas (rice fields and vegetable gardens) and used three fishing gears (malaise traps, buckets, and insect nets). Conclusions: Hymenoptera parasitoid insect diversity was highest in the vegetable garden area. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui keanekaragaman serangga parasitoid khususnya ordo Hymenoptera pada areal perasawahan dan kebun sayur. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jumlah seluruh serangga yang tertangkap yaitu sebanyak 5037 individu yang berasal dari 10 Ordo dan 80 famili
