Abstract

Host trees and mistletoe are components that form parasitic associations. However, the existence of host trees and mistletoe in forest ecosystems also enriches the diversity of biological natural resources. Therefore, research was conducted at the Plant Collection Block in the Grand Forest Park to determine the existence of host trees and mistletoe, the level of attack and the level of association between mistletoe and host trees, and the correlation of the level of parasite attack with environmental factors. The method used was systematic sampling, a sampling intensity of 1%, and a sample plot design in the form of nested rectangular plots. The results showed that there were 6 species of mistletoe host trees, namely avocado, rubber, kapok tree, jackfruit, cocoa, and langsat, as well as 4 species of mistletoe, namely Macrosolen cochinchinensis, Scurrula philippensis, Dendrophthoe falcata, and Dendrophthoe pentandra.The percentage of mistletoe attack on host trees was very low (0.04-0.26%), so all host trees were categorized as healthy. A significant association occurred between the kapok tree with mistletoe Dendrophthoe falcata and between the cocoa with mistletoe Dendrophthoe pentandra, while the other two mistletoe species (Macrosolen cochinchinensis and Scurrula philippensis) were not significantly associated with host trees.
