Abstract

Insects are vital in agriculture because they can benefit or harm plants. This study aimed to obtain data on plant damage intensity and the range of stem borer attacks on nutmeg plantations. The research was conducted in Hila, Seith, and Mamala villages, Leihitu District, Central Maluku Regency, in July 2024. The results showed that the damage intensity of nutmeg plants due to stem borer attacks (Batocera hercules) in Leihitu District was 9.66%, with the highest damage intensity in Seith village at 10.32%, followed by that of Hila village at 9.82%, and the lowest one was that of Mamala village at 8.83%, which are all categorized as mild criteria. The range of stem borer (Batocera hercules) attacks on nutmeg plantations was 45.24%; the highest one was that of Seith village at 48.53%, followed by that of Hila village at 43.93%, and the lowest one was 43.25% in Mamala village, and all were categorized as moderate criteria
