Abstract

Utilization of yard area in the province of Bengkulu is not optimal. Diversity of plants and plants that are in the yard area in the province of Bengkulu were also unknown. This study was aimed to determine the type of crop and plant diversity in their yards in the province of Bengkulu. This study was conducted in six districts/municipalities in the province of Bengkulu, Central Bengkulu, Kaur, South Bengkulu, Bengkulu City, Lebong and Mukomuko in February-September 2014. Sampling was done by purposive in locations that have the diversity and high plant population. The number of samples in each study varied locations adjusted to the level of plant diversity. The size of sampling was 30 yards per Regency/City. Each sampling points was observed to have an average area of 700 m2. Data captured includes the name of the plant, the type name, number of species, and use was by the community. The collected data was then analyzed to determine the level of its diversity using the Shannon-Wiener. To determine the dominant plant species planted in their yards made through a percentage. Based on the results obtained as many as 254 species of plants with a diversity index (H1) plant in Bengkulu province are at moderate to high levels. The highest diversity indices in the city of Bengkulu where the value of H1 amounted to 4.31 indicating that high diversity, ecosystem stability steady, high productivity, resistant to ecological pressures, while the lowest in South Bengkulu where the value H1 of 1.52. Based on the type of gardener, acquired that type of plantation in the province of Bengkulu is a type of fruit orchards except South Bengkulu and Bengkulu City where the Regency/City is an ornamental garden plant.
