BIODIVERSITAS ARTRHOPODA PADA KEBUN KELAPA SAWIT (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) BELUM MENGHASILKAN DAN GULMA DISEKITARNYA DI KELURAHAN SARI BUNGA MAS, KABUPATEN LAHAT
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) plantations in the Immature Plant (IMP) phase have open environmental conditions that support weed growth and create habitats for various arthropods. Arthropods play an important role in the plantation ecosystem, both as pollinators, predators, parasitoids, herbivores, and decomposers. This study aims to assess the level of arthropod diversity in IMP and surrounding weeds, identify dominant species, and analyze their ecological roles. Sampling was carried out using four methods: pitfall traps, sweep nets, yellow sticky traps, and handpicking for eight weeks on a 3-hectare plot in Sari Bunga Mas Village, Lahat Regency. The results of this study are expected to provide information on the structure of arthropod communities in IMP and the relationship between weed vegetation and arthropod presence. The findings of this study can be an important basis for weed management efforts and the application of biological control that supports the sustainability of oil palm plantations.
