This study was carried out to investigate how such conversion affects subterranean termites diversity and biomass. The study area was conducted at Bukit Batu District, Riau Province. Termite sampling was done in September and October 2011 at four natural forest sites in Bukit Batu Wildlife Reserve and four HTI sites situated near the former. Termites were systematically sampled with the help of a transect of 100 m drawn on each site. We used 10 square subplots (1 m x 1 m) situated along the transect with a regular interval of 10 m, and termites were extracted down to 10 cm deep beneath the peat surface. Nine species were found, consisting of eight genera, four subfamilies and two families. Termite species found only under natural forest were Microcerotermes dubius, Bulbitermes flavicans, Nasutitermes proatripennis and Ceylonitermes indicola. Species encountered only under HTI was coptotermes curvignathus. Four species occurring in both land use types were Capritermes semarangi, Capritermes mohri, Schedorhinotermes malaccensis and Parrhinotermes aequalis (Sørensen Similarity Index = 61.54%).

Termite sampling was done in September 2011 at two villages. Four plots were selected to represent each land use type. In each plot one transect line of 100 m was drawn, on which ten subplots of 1 m x 1 m were situated with a distance of 10 m from one to the next. Termites were collected from beneath the peat surface down to a depth of 10 cm within each plot. They were weighed alive as fresh biomass. Six termite species belonging to four genera, three subfamilies and two families were encountered. There were only three species (Parrhinotermes inaequalis, Schedorhinotermes sarawakensis and Coptotermes curvignathus) found under oil palm, all of which also occurred under homegarden (Sorensen Similarity Index=66.67%). Capritermes latignathus, Parrhinotermes sp. and Coptotermes kalshoveni were three species encountered only under homegarden. Termite biomass was invariably small under both land uses, with an average of 0.9 ± 0.40 gr/m2 and 0.3 ± 0.32 gr/m2 under oil palm and homegarden, respectively. There were no significant difference in termite biomass between these land usesItem KEANEKARAGAMAN DAN KELIMPAHAN FAUNA SEMUT TANAH PADA LAHAN GAMBUT YANG DIALIHGUNAKAN MENJADI KEBUN KELAPA SAWIT DAN HTI AKASIA DI KAWASAN BUKIT BATU, RIAU(2013-07-30) Rodhiyah, Zuli; Muhammad, Ahmad; Salbiah, DesitaThe aim of this study was to assess the structure of ground-dwelling ant fauna (class Insecta; order Hymenoptera; family Formicidae) as well as the nest abundance and species diversity in peatland that had been converted into oil palm plantation and industrial pulpwood plantation (HTI). This study was carried out in Bukit Batu area, Bengkalis District, Riau Province. Four oil palm plots (all about 5-6 year-old Elaeis guineensis stands) and four HTI plots (all about 5-6 yr-old Acacia crassicarpa stands) were selected as sampling sites. In each selected plot, four separated sampling transects of 25 m x 2 m were established. Ground-dwelling ants occurring within the plots were sampled directly from their nest holes. There were in total only 13 ants species encountered, of which the most frequently-encountered ant species were members of Formicinae and the least one was member of Ectatomminae. Eleven of them (Anoplolepis gracilipes, Anochetus sp., Dolicoderus sp., Gnamptogenys sp., Iridomyrmex sp., Meranoplus sp., Odontoponera transversa, Odontomachus sp., Pheidole sp., Paratrechina longicornis, and Tapinoma sp.) were found in oil palm plots and eight (Anoplolepis gracilipes, Iridomyrmex sp., Odontoponera transverse, Odontomachus sp., Pheidole sp., Paratrechina longicornis, Camponotus sp., and Polyrachis sp..) were encountered in HTI plots. Inter-plot similarity in species assemblages between oil palm plantation and HTI was averagely 53,5% (Sørensen Similarity Index). Similarity between oil palm plots was averagely 75,9% and between HTI plots was 57,9%. Species diversity at plot level was invariable low in both land use types (values of Shannon Weiner Index ranged only 0.22-0.24). Species with highest encounter frequency and most abundant nests in oil palm plots were Odontomachus sp. and Pheidole sp., while in HTI plots Iridomyrmex sp., Paratrechina longicornis and especially Anoplolepis gracilipes were the dominant species. Average overall nest density was 1000 nests/ha and 1112.5 nests/ha in oil palm plantation and HTI, respectively.Item PEMBERIAN BEBERAPA KONSENTRASI KITOSAN UNTUK MENGENDALIKAN HAMA RAYAP Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren (Isoptera : Rhinotermitidae)(2013-01-26) Yulis, Raima; Salbiah, Desita; Sutikno, AgusTermite attack on palm oil plantation is one of the major problem and difficult control, because termite live on the ground soil.

The consumption and maceration of wood by this insect potentially enhance nutrient cycling in this plantation system. Preliminary observations under field conditions indicated that the roach preferred wood of certain decay levels. This study was conducted to elucidate the roach’s preference of acacia wood at varying decay levels. Experiment has been carried out in the laboratory using adult insects, whichwere caged individually and offered either a wood bait, either one of four decay levels (TL-I, TL-II, TL-III, and TL-IV). The baits had mass/volume ratiovarying between 0,44 g/cm3 s/d 0,24 g/ cm3 corresponding to the decay level, while the average humidity of the wood was 56,16%. Observations were conducted every 7 days for 70 consecutive days. At the end of the experiment, wood bait TL-IV underwent significantly larger mass reduction(47,12%) than wood bait TL-I, TL and TL-II-III (averagely only about 8,43%). The mass reduction in wood bait TL-IV was caused by consumption (14,42%) and maceration (32,70%).Item SUBTERRANEAN TERMITE FAUNA ON A PEATLAND: A PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF THE SPECIES DIVERSITY AND BIOMASS UNDER DIFFERENT LAND USE TYPES(2014-05-21) Muhammad, Ahmad; Ayu, Febri; Saputra, Andi; Yus, Yusnarti; Purnasari, Treshandila; Salbiah, DesitaOwing to their wet nature, peatlands in their original conditions may not be favorable habitats for most ground-dwelling organisms. Apart from being acidic, peat is water saturated most of the times, making it unlikely habitatble for such organisms. After the construction of drainage system, however, substantial amount of water can be drawn out from the peat, resulting the drop of water table. We hypothesized that the alteration of this fundamental feature of peatlands might promote the proliferation ground-dwelling organisms in peatland habitats and/or colonization by non-native ones. We tested our hypothesis by surveying termite species richness and biomass under different land use systems that reflected a gradient of water table alteration (from shallower than 20 cm to deeper than 100 cm below the surface). The study has been carried out under peat swamp forest, rubber jungle, rubber plantation, oil palm plantation, homegarden, and acacia plantation forest in Bukit Batu area, Riau, Sumatra. We encountered a total 18 spp of subterranean termites with the average of only 6.2 spp found under each land use type. The average subterranean termite biomass was 0.29 gr/m2. Our data did not support our hypothesis in a way that subterranean termites were even most diverse (9 spp) and demonstrated largest biomass (0.53 gr/m2) under peat swamp forest, where the water table was never deeper than 20 cm and the peat was almost always watersaturated. However, the striking differences in species composition between peat swamp forest assemblage and those under other land use types suggest that the conversion of peatland might have significantly reduced the number of species native to this ecosystem, while inviting nonnative onesItem Test Some Of Concentration Extract Rolled Tobacco To Control Long Bean Pod Borer (Maruca testulali Geyer) In Plant Long Beans (Vigna sinensis L.)(2013-07-27) Salomo, Budi; Laoh,J.

The research was conducted using completely randomized design (CRD), with 6 treatments and 4 replications in order to obtain 24 units of the experiment. Each experimental unit consisted of 10 adult B. longissima. Treatment consists of concentrations of B.bassiana 0g/l aquadest, 40 g/l aquadest, 45 g/l aquadest, 50 g/l aquadest, 55 g/l aquadest and 60 g/l aquadest. The data obtained were statistically analyzed by analysis of variance and further test with the level 5% of Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT). Parameters observed the initial time of death imago test (hours), lethal time 50% (hours), the percentage of daily mortality (%), percentage of total mortality (%), temperature and humidity as supporting observations. The results showed treatment with a concentration of B. bassiana 55 g/l of aquadest is effective to control B. longissima units percentase of total mortality is 85% during 276 hours.
