Study of Arthropods on Ageratum Conyzoides and Synedrella Nodiflora as E-Catalog Media

Abstract

The agricultural area in Wringinpitu Village is an agriculture with a variety of plants including rice, corn, sugar cane, and others, to reduce pests in the agricultural area, natural enemies can be used in the form of predators and parasitoids so that farmers allow wild plants to live and grow around the rice fields. Some of the dominant wild plants are Ageratum conyzoides and Synedrella nodiflora plants. This study aims to (1) determine the types of arthropods found in Ageratum conyzoides and Synedrella nodiflora, (2) Knowing and understand the temporal distribution of daily Arthropod visits on Ageratum conyzoides and Synedrella nodiflora, and (3) Produce e-catalog media from the study of daily visits of Arthropods on Ageratum conyzoides and Synedrella nodiflora plants. This research is a type of descriptive quantitative, using visual control method. Arthropods were observed at 06.00-07.00 and 16.00-17.00 with 3 replications presented in graphic form and then interpreted descriptively. The results of research on Ageratum conyzoides and Synedrella nodiflora plants have found 11 families consisting of Coccinellidae, Carabidae, Formicidae, Papilionidae, Nabidae, Tephritidae, Sryphidae, Oxyophidae, Grillidae, Asilidae, and Acrididae. The results of the highest temporal distribution in Ageratum conyzoides were 4 families of Coccinellidae in the morning, while in Synedrella nodflora there were 3 families of Carabidae in the afternoon. In the form of photo, documentation was used as electronic catalog media using wordpress containing refugia plants of Ageratum conyzoides and Synedrella nodiflora species, distribution of daily visits Arthropoda and photo documentation of Arthropoda.
