Distribusi Moisture Content Pada Zona Perakaran Tanaman (Zona Tidak Jenuh) Perkebunan Teh Gambung, Bandung Selatan
Abstract: Research on moisture
content distribution in the root zone is intended to determine the moisture
content in accordance with tea plant and its distribution pattern. Measurement
of moisture content by using gypsum block as media liaison between the soil and
water in the soil moisture is conducted by means Bouyoucos Soil Meter. Moisture
content is obtained by performing measurements on a laboratory and field scale.
Laboratory scale test is emphasized on calibration of the gypsum block to be
applied in the measurement field. Site measurement was made in three drill
holes, each 150 cm in depth, which are at peak, slopes and valleys in the study
area that had been predetermined. The result of research shown that high
moisture content about 50% –95% which tends to increase downward modeling on
moisture content has similar result to the \ field measurement. Tea plants
needed of relative large moisture content, since it requires a moisture content
continuosly and yields of tea leave.
