Perilaku Serangga Pengunjung Buah Naga Merah (Hylocereus polyrhizus)
Abstract
Budidaya tanaman buah naga mulai berkembang di Indonesia sejak tahun 2003. Hingga saat ini, penyerbukan di kebanyakan perkebunan masih dilakukan secara buatan. Perbedaan perilaku serangga menjadi hal penting yang dapat menentukan kesuksesan penyerbukan alami. Keberadaan serangga lokal diduga dapat menjadi agen polinator yang dapat mengurangi aktivitas penyerbukan buatan pada bunga buah naga. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui karakteristik perilaku serangga yang berpotensi menjadi agen penyerbuk alami buah naga.
