Abstract

Oil palm is one of the leading commodities in Indonesia and is a source of foreign exchange for the country. This oil palm plant is the main crop for private plantations, the government and also the people. The number of pest attacks on oil palm plants causes a decrease in production so it must be controlled using pesticides and natural enemies. People's oil palm plant control management with minimal knowledge always considers all insects to be pests. This is the main goal of researchers to explore the types of insects that exist in mature and immature plants. The research method is qualitative descriptive, namely by survey and direct identification, from research conducted in June 2021, it was found that insect diversity was in the moderate category, and the highest number of insects was found in immature plants such as Dolichoderus thoracicus. Keywords: Insect exploration, Soil Insects, Oil palm plantation.
