| Summary: | The Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) is a bioconverter insect capable of decomposing various types of organic waste. In this study, BSF larvae were fed on soybean husk, which is one of the organic wastes that has not been widely used until now. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using soybean husk as feed based on the life table of BSF H. illucens, namely the life period and reproductive potential produced. The method used in the analysis of the BSF life table in this study was the age-stage two-sex life table, with mean and standard error were calculated by using paired bootstrap test. The experiment consisted of 2 treatments, soybean husk and commercial chicken feed as a control. The research was conducted under conditions of temperature 22-28?, 55-90 Rh, and lighting 12 hours bright: 12 hours dark. The BSF life table parameters observed included the life period of egg, larvae, adult pupa, mortality of each stage, sex ratio, and fecundity, then analyzed by calculating based on age-stage two-sex life table to get an intrinsic rate of population increase (r), the rate of individual increase per unit time/finite rate of increase (?), the net reproduction rate (R0), and the mean generation time (T). The results showed that the BSF fed on soybean husk and commercial chicken feed were R0 of 102.50 and 118.40 offsprings, r values of 0.105 and 0.106 per day, ? values of 1.111 and 1.112 per day, and T duration of 43.82 and 44.75 days, respectively. The results can be concluded that soybean husk was a good medium for mass rearing of BSF or equivalent to commercial chicken feed based on two-sex life table analysis. |
