RESPON Elaeidobius kamerunicus TERHADAP ATRAKTAN NABATI BERBAHAN CENGKEH (Syzygium aromaticum) DAN KEMANGI (Ocimum basilicum)

---

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is one of the largest plantation commodities in Indonesia. Palm oil productivity depends on the amount of pollen from male flowers that falls onto female flowers. Oil palm pollination is carried out by natural pollinators such as Elaeidobius kamerunicus. The aroma of pollen and nectar from male oil palm flowers is favored by E. kamerunicus because it contains volatile compounds. The low availability of male flowers and the use of synthetic materials result in a low E. kamerunicus population and sub-optimal oil palm productivity. Attractive plant-based materials such as palm oil male flower extract, cloves, and basil contain volatile compounds that are favored by pollinating insects and are environmentally friendly. This study aims to determine the morphology of male and female E. kamerunicus and their response to plant-based attractants from male oil palm flower extract, cloves, and basil. The research method used a Y-tube olfactometer to observe the response of each individual. The plant extract was made thru a maceration process with methanol and extracted using a rotary evaporator. Data analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel software and R-Studio. The research results indicate differences between male and female E. kamerunicus, such as the size and number of hairs on the abdomen, snout length, and the presence of bumps on the elytra. Oil palm male flower extract received a positive response from both sexes with the fastest time.
