Abstract

Abstract

Ficus is a genus of plants that require external assistance in order to pollinate.
Pollination infruit is Ficus highly dependent on various pollinator insects. This
pollinator insect will help the pollination process in Ficus. The purpose of this study
was to determine the pollinator species associated with four species Ficus in the
Batuputih Nature Park. This study used a method by tracing the Batuputih Nature Park
area to collect data on four species Ficus. The results showed that there were 8
pollinator species associated with four species Ficus , consisting of 66 pollinators from
the family Agaonidae, ordo Hymenoptera. Pollination in four species is Ficus not only
carried out by one pollinator insect species per Ficus but by two or even three pollinator
insect species and one pollinator species can pollinate more than one species Ficus.

2
Frequency distribution analysis shows the number of pollinator frequencies found
in four species Ficus. The results of the diversity index analysis showed that the
diversity of pollinators in the four species was Ficus low. The regression analysis
showed a very low addition for each increase in one unit diameter, while the results of
the correlation analysis showed that the diameter of syconia and the number of
pollinator insects were not correlated.
Keywords: Association of pollinator species, Ficus spp., Batuputih Nature Park.
