Abstract
This study aims to determine the diversity and abundance of aerial
insects at oil palm plantations. Sampling was done by purposive sampling method
by using yellow sticky traps and pheromone trap. Insect catching was carried
out in December 2021 until February 2022 at PT Tri Bahtera Srikandi's oil palm
plantation in Singkuang Village. The insect collection in oil palm plantation
was done in three stations namely at core, plasma and hosmon gardens. Insect
identification was carried out in the biology laboratory of Universitas Negeri
Medan (Medan State University). The research results showed that there was 24 spesies of aerial insect that be found at oil palm
plantation. The aerial insect obtained in core garden consisted of 21 species, 16
families and 6 orders with a diversity index value (H') of 2.47 (medium), a
dominance index value (C) of 0.11 (low) and the evenness index value (E) is
0.81 (high). In plasma garden, aerial insect was found 21 species, 15 families
and 6 orders with a diversity index value (H') of 2.66 (medium), a dominance
index value (C) of 0.09 (low) and an evenness index value (E) was 0.87 (high).
Meanwhile, in the hosmon garden, aerial insect was found 21 species, 16
families and 6 orders with a diversity index (H') of 2.55 (medium), a dominance
index value (C) of 0.10 (low) and an evenness index value. (E) was 0.84 (high).
Hutcheson's t test results showed that the diversity and abundance of aerial
insects between core garden and plasma garden was significantly different, but between
core garden and hosmon garden and also between plasma garden and hosmon garden
were not significantly different.
