Preferensi Pakan Burung Hama Bondol Jawa (Lonchura Leucogastroides) pada Dua Tipe Pengelolaan Padi Secara Organik dan Konvensional di Kabupaten Jember

Abstract

Birds are one of the pests in rice cultivation. Bullying birds generally come from the Estrididae family. Javan Munia is a species in the Estrididae family that has the potential to become a pest compared to other species. This is because the Javan Munia population is higher than other species in the Estrididae family, has a high level of seed consumption (1/4 of body weight), is adaptive to the environment and lives in groups. Research was conducted to determine Javan Munia's feed preferences for two types of organic and conventional rice management in Jember Regency. The method used in the research is purposive. Data collection was carried out using the point count technique with a radius of 20m at 06.00 – 10.00 WIB with a time duration of 20. Observation data was analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, the Independent Samples Test and the Paired Samples Test, with a confidence level of 95%. The research results showed that there were significant differences in the overall parameters, namely the Javan Munia population (0.001) and Foraging activity (0.001) and Passing activity parameters (0.013). This is because organic rice management is free from chemical residues compared to conventional management, besides that organic management has shadier conditions.
