![]() We conducted semi-structured and structured interviews with a total of 52 informants that represented 10% of the total family units in the village. Our study aims to understand the utilization of plants in traditional medicine by the people of Tengger, who inhabit the Ngadisari village, Sukapura District, Probolinggo Regency, Indonesia. However, this local knowledge has not been well documented until recently. The people of Tengger, Indonesia have used plants as traditional medicine for a long time. This study recommends conservation plans that include traditional ecological knowledge, plant monitoring, and participative action with Nyangkewok communities. Sundanese Ethnic living in the Nyangkewok Village has been undergoing extreme changes in both social and ecological scenarios. The highest number of Cultural Food Cultivated Index is pare (Oryza sativa). This study recorded 101 species useful plants, 48 families, dominated by Cucurbitaceae. This study used exploration and in-depth interviewed method with 30 respondents which conducted in March until June 2019 and analysed with Cultural Food Cultivated Significant Index. In this study, we looked for insights on how Sundanese Ethnic inhabiting around the Gede Mountain, Nyangkewok Village, interact with their environments and how they use ecological knowledge on plants for their existence. Ethnobotany in Food Plant of Sundanese Ethnic can be an alternative to a food crisis. Food insecurity is an essential threat in West Java Province. 2019.Ethnobotany of food plant used by Sundanese Ethnic in Kalaparea Village, Nyangkewok Hamlet, Sukabumi District, Indonesia. © 2021, Society for Indonesian Biodiversity. Furthermore, the development of biological pesticides is a step to improve the quality of Indonesian export products so as to increase national competitiveness in the globalization era nowadays. The data resulted from this study is expected to serve as baseline information for further research about the formulation, efficacy, and conservation management of botanical pesticides from Myrtaceae for sustainable use. Most of them belong to the Eucalyptus and Melaleuca, followed by Backhousia, Leptospermum, Psidium, and Syzygium. There were 17 species that are considerably had a high potency. Our result showed that there were 73 species of Myrtaceae (from 18 genera) that are potential to be botanical pesticide sources. Database fulfilling regarding the bactericide/fungicide/herbicide/insecticide potency of the Myrtaceae of CBG’s collection was carried out through digital references search. ![]() ![]() The list of Myrtaceae collection of CBG obtained from Unit Registration and Collection CBG per 2021. This research was conducted to inventory and categorize Myrtaceae collection in CBG that had the potency to be botanical pesticide. Myrtaceae has been reported to provide biological activity against pests or pathogens due to their essential oil contents. ![]() Cibodas Botanic Gardens (CBG) is a biodiversity reservoir that can be explored for the discovery of new candidates for botanical pesticides. The potency of Myrtaceae Family from Cibodas Botanic Gardens (Cianjur, Indonesia) as botanical pesticide. Furthermore, the development of botanical pesticides is also an alternative to reduce synthetic/chemical pesticides to provide sustainable agriculture. The data of ethnobotany can be used as database information for further research regarding the bioprospecting, formulation, efficacy, and conservation for sustainable use. However, 11 species have two to four functions: Archidendron pauciflorum, Areca catechu, Artocarpus heterophyllus, Caryota mitis, Cerbera manghas, Jatropha curcas, Melia azedarach, Morinda citrifolia, Pangium edule, Piper betle, and Piper ningrum. These species were dominated by the Compositae family (14 species) and plant parts used from leaf parts (38.9%). It consists of 130 species as an insecticide, 12 as a fungicide, 8 as a bactericide, 8 as a molluscicide, 3 as a rodenticide, and 2 as a nematicide. The results showed that 149 plant species were used as botanical pesticides. Most literature data is from the western part of Indonesia (Oriental Realm): Java (n=10) followed by Kalimantan (n=7), and Sumatra (n=4). After the data was validated, only 27 papers were related to the study topic. The comprehensive literature was collected from the 29 published articles and theses (doctoral, master's, and bachelor's degrees) in English and Bahasa Indonesia. This paper aimed to depict an overview of ethnobotany as botanical pesticides in Indonesia. Recently, there has been no comprehensive data and information related to the ethnobotany of plants as potential botanical pesticides on a nationwide scale. Ethnobotany of Indonesian communities utilizes plants as botanical pesticides.
