A study on the toothing of edible caterpillar plants planted with FAS in Ibi- a village on the Batékéen Plateau the Democratic Republic of Congo. The main objective of this study was to identify and characterize the species of edible caterpillar plants planted in Ibi-village on the Batéké plateau. To do so, we used observation as a research method. In this study, 35 species of edible caterpillar host plants were identified, divided into 16 families and 7 orders. Regarding the ecological spectra of florule, Mesopotamians and sarcochores are predominant. On the phytogeographical level, the strong representativeness of the Guineo-Congolese element. Morphologically, the majority of species are trees. In this study, Pentaclethra eetveldeanaes the most dominant species. The most represented families are those of Fabaceae et Euphorbiaceae.
