ABSTRACT

Insect pollinators diversity is related to the type of farming system (organic or non-organic). This research was to compare diversity and abundance, number of species, and visitation rates per hour of insect pollinators at organic and conventional cucumber farms. The study was conducted in June 2020 on 300 cucumber plants on both organic and conventional land. The data analysis shows that organic land has an index in the medium category 1-3 (H' = 1.57), Simpson's dominance index (D = 0.40), and even Pielou index (E = 0.58). Conventional land has a low index (H' = 0.69), Simpson's dominance index (D = 0.72), and Pielou's evenness index (E = 0.33). Eleven species are found on the organic cucumber farm, namely Xylocopa confusa, X. latipes, Apis cerana, A. dorsata, Heterotrigona itama, Hypolimnas bolina, H. Misippus, Euripus nyctelius, Euploea mulciber, Neptis hylas, and Delias hyparete. Euripus nyctelius and Euploea mulciber were not found on the conventional farm.
