TUMBUHAN BAWAH DOMINAN PENGHASIL BAHAN OBAT HERBAL PADA SISTEM AGROFORESTRI

Increased production and economic value of the agroforestry system can be done through the intensification and diversification of products. Contained in the components of agroforestry systems include the understorey that has not been a priority. This study aimed to: 1) determine the species of understorey in agroforestry systems, 2) determine the species of understorey that have been utilized the community as a medicine, and 3) determine the content of the active compounds from the understorey dominant a potentially as medicine. Location of the study is Kulon Progo district. The experiment was conducted in two phases , the first phase of data collection of vegetation in 9 (nine) locations in 3 (three) altitude zone, zone 1 (<300 m asl), zone 2 (301-600 m asl), zone 3 (>600 m asl) and the second stage to determine the potential laboratory the dominant of understorey as medicine to test the antimicrobial activity. Methods are used: 1) analysis vegetation of understorey using uniform sampling method, 2) identification of the active compound content using TLC method and 3) antimicrobial test using bioautografi contact method. Analysis of the data using: 1) a quantitative analysis to determine dominance, species richness (R'), evenness (E'), species diversity (H�) and plant community similarity index belo
