Abstract
This study aimed to determine the type of weed and its potential as parasite nematode host plants in arabica and robusta plantations. This study included a qualitative exploratory research where weed sampling was carried out by roaming in the area of Arabica and Robusta coffee plantations. Various types of weeds were taken, identified, and then extracted its root to find out the existence of nematodes. The result showed that there were 8 species of weeds where nematodes can be found in their roots. Those weeds were Tuton (Paspalum mandiocanum), Oxtail (Heliotropium indicum), Paku (Davallia denticulata), Pendul (Kyllinga brevifolia). Sintrong (Crassocephalum crepidioides), Bandotan (Ageratum conyzoides), Oplismenus hirtellus, Princess shame (Mimosa invisa). The result of nematodes identification revealed that it was Pratilenchus coffeae, a common parasitic nematode that attacks coffee.
