| Summary: | Pollination is the most important process in the order of seeds and fruit in flowering
plants. This investigation was conducted based on the management and management carried
out on eggplant (Solanum Melongena) and long beans (Vigna Unguiculata) which were
planted intercroppingly and their pollination was assisted by the pollinating agent
Tetragonula laeviceps. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficiency of T.
laeviceps as a pollinating agent in ordering fruit, the size and sweetness of the fruit (% Brix)
and the activity of T. laeviceps in the pollination process on eggplant (Solanum melongena)
and long beans (Vigna unguiculata) which planted intercross in a greenhouse. This research
was conducted in one planting season starting from September to December 2019 in
Margabakti Hamlet farmer land, Sukawangi Village, Pamulihan District, Sumedang
Regency. The visiting activity of T. laeviceps was based on the visit rate (number of bee
visits), flower handling time (length of time visiting bees to flowers), and foraging speed
(number of flowers / minute) using the scan sampling method. Observations are made from
08: 00-16: 00 WIB when the weather is clear. The effect of the pollinator application was
analyzed using the PASW Statistics 18 application. The data normality test was carried out
by the Saphiro-Wilk test. If the data is normally distributed, a homogeneity and significance
test is carried out using the One Way Annova test. If the mean data differed significantly, a
further test was performed using the Tukey test. The results showed that the addition of T.
laeviceps significantly affected the size, sweetness level of eggplant (Solanum melongena)
and long beans (Vigna unguiculata), and eggplant fruit drink orders. The fruit making
efficiency of eggplant and long beans were 63.5% and 33%, respectively. The highest T.
laeviceps activity occurred at 11.00 - 12.00 WIB, namely 53.2 seconds (0.9 flowers / minute)
for eggplant and 50.4 seconds (1.3 flowers / minute) for long beans, with the proportion of
visits that was 49, 8% (long beans) and 53.5% (eggplant).
