## Abstract
Abstract Bananas are important food crops and source minerals, carbohydrate and vitamins. Banana demanding increases every year, but the production capacity still low. One obstacle is the limited land that can be used to cultivate. One effort to increase banana production is through the development of banana as interplanting in an agroforestry system. The aim of the research is to select and characterization of a dwarf banana plant under low light intensity. The research was conducted in the field laboratory Faculty of Agriculture, Halu Oleo University. The source of germplasm of dwarf cavendish banana comes from two regions, namely the mainland region of Southeast Sulawesi and the island region of Southeast Sulawesi. The study used a randomized block design (RBD) with shade treatment consisting of 3 levels, namely n 1 =shade level < 25 % (light shade), n2=shade level 25-50 % (medium shade), and n3 = shade level 50-75 % (heavy shade). Observations were made on the vegetative and generative parameter: The vegetative variables include plant height, number of leaves, leaf length and leaf width. It could be concluded that based on the vegetative character, there is no significant difference between dwarf cavendish banana growing on light shade and heavy shade.
