Struktur, Komposisi, dan Pemilihan Jenis Komponen Sistem Agroforestry Di Desa Makuang, Kabupaten Mamasa

This research aimed to determine pattern of agroforestry system and agroforestry spesies???s structure and composition. This research was conducted in January to February 2009 in village of Makuang, Regency of Mamasa. It was decided to establish four categories of Sub Village (dusun) area based on the preliminary survey and field orientation namely dusun 1, 2, 3, dan 4. Method used to set up those categories was Purposive Sampling in which there were 6 plots established for measurement of structure and species composition in each dusun. The size of plot was 20 x 50 m or 0.1 ha. Tree height was measured and species name was recorded to identify the structure and composition of plant species. Herbarium was made for those plant species that have not identified. \ud The research showed that pattern of agroforestry system practiced by farmer community was Agrisilviculture and Silvopasture with irregular, rows, alternate rows, and border pattern. The vertical structure of agroforestry system was relatively similar namely consisted of four stratums, but species composition and crops arrangement was different for all agroforestry patterns. While the species composition were 18 species at irregular pattern, 13 species at rows pattern, 4 species at alternate rows pattern, and 8 species at border pattern area
