Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate the composition and potential value of weeds species in an agricultural area of Kupang, Indonesia. Two sites (dry and wet site) were selected subjectively. In each site, three stands (100 m x 100 m) were placed subjectively and in each stand 25 plots (1 m x 1 m) were placed randomly (∑150 plots). In each plot, all weed present were recorded and their density and percentage cover calculated. Each species was grouped into broad-leaves, sedges, and grasses. To determine the potential value of the weeds, all weeds were grouped into whether they medicinal plants, animal feed or food ingredients. For each species, the number of individuals, dominance, frequency, and Importance Value Index (IVI) were calculated. Species diversity was also calculated using the Shannon-Wienner Diversity Index (H'). Overall, 46 weed species were found. The weeds with the highest IVI (>5.00%) were Panicum repens L (IVI 14.80%), Bolboschoenus maritimus L. Palla (IVI 10.32%), Alternanthera sessilis L (IVI 7.47%), Cyperus rotundus L, (IVI 6.97%), Digitaria ciliaris (IVI 6.69%), Cyperus elatus L (IVI 6.63%), and Ischaemum timorense Kunth (IVI 5.02%). In general, the composition of weeds between the dry and the wet sites were relatively different. Based on the number of species and diversity index, the weed community in the wet site was relatively higher than that in the dry site. Based on the IVI, the dry site tended to be dominated by grasses and broad leaves while the wet site tended to be dominated by sedges. Based on IVI, 42.80% of all the weed species present had the potential to be used as medicinal plants, 39.81% as animal feed, and 17.39% as human food. Overall, most weed species studied had the potential to be used as medicinal plants, animal feed, and food ingredients. The potential of this weed needs to be studied more deeply in the future, including their use as an alternative source of medicine and food, especially as demand increases in the future.
