Authors: , , ,
Abstract: Knowledge of the types of plant species in the world continues to progress even though there are still many plant species whose types and benefits are not yet known. These plant species concentrate in an area both in residential areas, pastures, agricultural land, and plantation land. The research aims to identify plant species in mature oil palm plantation areas in Kolaka Regency by selecting Watubangga and Tanggetada subdistricts as survey locations and has been carried out from January to August 2022 by dividing the mature oil palm area into 3 villages in each subdistrict as research samples. The results of the survey and identification were analyzed using the summed dominance ratio formula to determine the level of dominance of plant species in controlling growth facilities. The findings of plant species in mature oil palm plantation areas in Watubangga Subdistrict, Polenga Village (highest-Cyperus rotundus L. 3.0738%, lowest-Solanum torvum Sw. 1.8637%), Kastura Village (highest-Brachiaria miliformis 4.1470%, lowest-Euphorbia hirta L 1.5057%), Kukutio Village (highest-Pennisetum purpureum Schumach 3.8447%, lowest-Chromolaena odorata (L.) King. 1.6317%). Tanggetada Subdistrict, Pundaipa Village (highest-Asystasia coromandeliana Ness 3.8541%, lowest-Cyrtococcum acrescens 1.4968%), Tinggo Village (highest-Imperata cylindrica (L.) P. Beauv. 4.9256%, lowest-Chromolaena odorata (L.) King 1.6079%), Oneeha Village (highest-Pennisetum purpureum Schumach, 3.8447%, lowest-Chromolaena odorata (L.) King. 1.6317%). This finding can be concluded that each area of mature oil palm plantations has several different and varied plant species and there are invasive plants that can eliminate native plants such as Chromolaena odorata (L.) King. and Imperata cylindrica (L.) P. Beauv.
