Uji Volume Air Pada Berbagai Varietas Tanaman Tomat (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill)
Abstract: Tomato (Lycopersicum
esculentum Mill) is one type of vegetable has long been recognized by the
community. The tomato plants have many benefits in an effort to complement the
needs of nutritious food, especially as a source of vitamins and minerals, can
also be used for drugs. The low productivity of tomatoes one caused by a lack
of knowledge of farmers in the use of high yielding varieties. One effort to
increase productivity is the use of tomato varieties with good genetic
properties such as harvesting, disease resistance, and growth and production
tend to be better. In addition to the availability of nutrients, other factors
that affect plant growth is the requirement of water for plants, because water
is the most material constituent of plant tissues. This irrigation method is
possible to apply mainly on land far from water sources or land that has
limited water availability. The drip irrigation system can save water
consumption, minimize water losses. The purpose of this study, to obtain
varieties of tomato growth response and better production with the provision of
drip irrigation, and to determine the exact volume of water in enhancing the
growth and production of tomato plants.This research will be carried out
experimentally by using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 2
factors. The first factor consists of 3 varieties of tomatoes levels ie: V1:
Ratna, V2: Mawar, V3: Karina, and the second
factor consisted of 3 volumes of water treatment, namely A1: 100% (field
capacity), A2: 75 % (75% of field capacity), A3: 50% (50% of field capacity).
The results showed that the overall volume of water had no effect on the growth
and production of tomato plants, but the effect on the appearance of flower
varieties first. Tomato plants are the fastest flowering varieties Karina with
75% volume of water provision.
