Majasari Village, Cibiuk District, Garut Regency, West Java Province is one of the centers of banana production with productivity reaching 27 tons/ha. So far there has been no study related to the analysis of agro-ecosystem vegetation and the diversity of banana species in Majasari Village so that the diversity of banana species is unknown and causes there is still much potential banana germplasm that has not been characterized. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the level of diversity of banana species and their agroecosystem biodiversity in Majasari Village in supporting plant breeding activities. The study was conducted at 21 locations in Majasari Village where the determination of the location was carried out by purposive sampling. The method used in this study is a survey and exploration method as well as interviews with farmers.
