Abstract

Agroforestry was a form of sustainable forest management in ecological, economic and social.

Six groups of farmers were sampled randomly using cluster sampling formula to obtain 41 heads of agroforestry farming families. The field of Tanjung Manis farmers group in tree phase was dominated by durian tree (IVI = 734,08%), avocado (IVI = 398,70%) and cocoa (IVI = 178,37%). The field of Mata Air farmers group was dominated by candlenut (IVI = 61,48%) and rubber (IVI = 361,93%).
