KOMUNITAS SERANGGA FITOFAG DAN ENTOMOFAG YANG DITEMUKAN PADA TANAMAN KEDELAI (GLYCINE MAX L.) DAN ZINNIA PERUVIANA

Soybeans are the third most important commodity after rice and corn. Planting techniques such as planting edge crops are expected to encourage the conservation of natural enemies of pest insects such as predators. This study was conducted to determine the insect species and Arthropods that were in Soybean (Glycine max L.) & Refugee (Zinnia peruviana) and to find out the most dominant species found in refugee and soybeans. Visual observation methods, pitfall traps, nets were used in this study both in the soybean planting area and refugee plants. Then all insect data obtained was taken to the Laboratory for identification and the results were observed in the insect determination key book. Identification was based on morphological characteristics. Identification was based on morphological characteristics. The results of the study stated that the plantations of Refugee and Soybean were found to Fitofag and entomofag insects. Fitofag insects found in plant canopy there were 4 orders and 9 species. Entomofag insects found in the canopy there were 3 orders and 10 species. Fitofag insects that were active in the soil there were 6 orders and 10 species, Entomofag insects that were active in the soil there were 3 orders and 10 species.
