Efficiency in using growing spaceand certain planting pattern in form of agroforestry and its combination will give reciprocalbenefits, i.e. the cleanness of coconut planting area could be maintained with a possibility ofincreasing in coconut product, and economical benefits by utilizing of the unused growingspace on the lower space of coconut plantation area. If the economical benefits could bequantified, application of agroforestry pattern could be practiced to a wider area. Applicationof agroforestry pattern between coconut trees (Cocos nucifera) and taro (Colocasia esculentaL) by farmers who work on coconut plantation area is one of the agroforestry pattern that hasbeen used in Klabat Village, North Minahasa Regency.
