Abstract

The aim of the research was to determine the diversity, distribution, dominance, and yield loss of corn due to competition from broadleaf weeds. Descriptive research method with direct survey techniques of research objects. Data were collected using 10 sample plots measuring 1 m2, which were placed using random sampling. Observation parameters include the population and dry biomass weight of weeds and corn. The data was analyzed descriptively and comparatively by calculating density, frequency, and dominance to obtain an important value index and summation diminance ratio (SDR). The results of the research showed that 14 species of broad-leaved weeds were found with high species diversity, distribution, dominance, and abundance indices. The competitiveness and relative weighted dominance of six weed species, namely Amaranthus spinusus, Amaranthus gracilis, Synedrella nodiliflora, Acalypha indica, Ageratum conyzoides, and Alternanthera philoxeroides, are higher than those of other weed species, causing corn yield losses of 5.56%–21.90%. Therefore, these six weed species must be controlled.
