This study aimed to determine the effect of the variation and dose of compost fertilizer from market organic waste MOL (local microorganisms) on the foraging rate and flower handling time of insects during the generative phase of marigold plants. This research used an experimental method with two factors: the variation of MOL in compost production and the dose of the compost fertilizer. The MOL activators used for composting were fruit MOL, vegetable MOL, a combination of fruit and vegetable MOL, as well as EM4 and water as controls. Data were collected using focal sampling and analyzed using quantitative descriptive methods. The results showed that the foraging rate on marigold flowers was dominated by Apis mellifera, Trigona sp., and Luthrodes pandava. The highest foraging rate for Apis mellifera was observed in the 400-g treatment of compost made with a combination of fruit and vegetable MOL; the highest rate for Trigona sp. was found in the 400-g treatment of vegetable MOL compost; and Luthrodes pandava tended to have a low foraging rate across all treatments. For flower handling time, Apis mellifera was highest in the fruit-and-vegetable MOL treatment at 200 g, Trigona sp. was highest in the fruit-and-vegetable MOL at 200 g, and Luthrodes pandava was highest in the fruit MOL and vegetable MOL treatments at both 200 and 400 g. Insect behavior was influenced by the surrounding climatic factors as well as by the quality and quantity of flowers produced by the marigold plants as a result of fertilizer application.
