Abstract

Burning of sugarcane residue after cutting is often practiced by sugarcane farmers in ratoon sugarcane. Burning of crop residue facilitates soil management in addition to land sanitation needs to avoid pests and diseases in the next planting season. However, until now very limited information on effects of burning the sugarcane residues on the diversity of Arthropods in sugarcane plantations in the next planting season. Ecological sampling was conducted in Pakis Village, Malang Regency, East Java Province from September 2015 to December 2016. The study used an area of 1 ha, divided into two each with 0.5 ha for land with sugar cane residues not burned and 0.5 ha for land with sugarcane residues burned as farmers practice. Arthropods were surveyed using pitfall traps, yellow pan trap, net traps, and malaise traps. Speciemens are brought in to the laboratory for sorting and identification. Shannon-Weaver index, evenness index, and dominance index (λ) were calculated to evaluate burning treatment on Arthropod community. The results showed that the burning of sugarcane residue after cutting is able to reduce diversity (H ‘), decrease the evenness index (E) and increase the dominance index (λ) of arthropods. Burning of sugarcane residues after cutting will have detrimental effects on ecosystem instability.
