RESPON PERTUMBUHAN TANAMAN KACANG ERCIS (Pisum sativum L.) TERHADAP CEKAMAN AIR PADA TANAH GAMBUT

Abstract

Pea plant (Pisum sativum L.) is a plant that grows in highland areas and cold temperatures. Lack of water availability affects the growth of pea plants to experience water stress. The aim of this study to determine the effect of water stress on pea plants. Study had been done from February to March 2021. The research design used a completely randomized design consisting of five treatments, namely the provision of water from the field capacity of 29 mL (P1), 143 mL (P2), 370 mL (P3), 616 mL (P4), 771 mL (P5). The application of water stress on pea plants had a significant effect on the parameters of plant height, wet weight and dry weight of plants, radix shoot ratio. Root nodules did not form on plant root nodules. The application of water stress on pea plants did not significantly affect the chlorophyll content parameter.
