Abstract

It is hoped that the Wan Abdul Rachman Grand Forest Park can function to preserve biodiversity, including mistletoe. Therefore, the research aims to determine the presence of mistletoe and analyze the level of association between species of mistletoe and the species of host trees at the cultivated area of farmers belonging to the Wana Karya G Forest Farmers Group in Wan Abdul Rachman Grand Forest Park. The research was carried out by surveying vegetation using a rectangular plot method which was arranged systematically. The sampling intensity was 10%, the number of plots was 27, each plot measuring 20 m x 20 m. The results of the research showed that there were 13 individual mistletoes consisting of 3 species. The three species of mistletoes are Dedrophthoe pentandra, Dedrophthoe falcata, and Scurrula parasitica. The number of Dedrophthoe pentandra was 8 individuals, Dedrophthoe falcata was 1 individual, and Scurrula parasitica was 4 individuals. There are only 2 species of trees that host mistletoe (14.3%) of the 14 species of trees and shrubs that make up forest garden stands. Associations between mistletoe and host trees have varying strengths. The Dendrophthoe pentandra with stink bean tree formed a strong association with an Ochiai Index (OI) value of 0.57 which was declared significant. The Dendrophthoe falcata with stink bean tree formed a weak association with an OI value of 0.29 which was declared not significant. Likewise, the Scurrula parasitica with cocoa tree formed a weak association with an OI value of 0.41 which was declared not significant.
