Abstract

Information of diversity and abundance of natural enemies and pests arthropod on durian plantation are required to implement an effective integrated pest management (IPM) technique. This study, conducted from October to December 2014 considered to explore and identify natural enemies and pest Arthropods in durian plantation at Warso Farm, Bogor. The methods to monitor the abundance of natural enemies and pests arthropod includes: pitfall traps, light traps, net insect, and direct observation. The result showed that the proportions of predators, herbivores, detrivores, parasitoids, and others were 52%, 32%, 13%, 1% and 2% respectively. Diversity of Arthropods calculated based on the Shannon-Wiener diversity index indicates that the largest Arthropod diversity is the diversity of herbivore Arthropod with index value of 2.645. Overall, diversity of Arthropods in durian plantation placed in the medium category
