KAJIAN KINERJA IRIGASI TETES PADA TANAH LATOSOL DENGAN BUDIDAYA TANAMAN CAISIM (Brassica juncea L.)
ABSTRACT: Drip irrigation is
needed in the efficient use of water for the plant and also attention is needed
for its performance. The study was aimed to determine the performance of drip
irrigation on Latosol soil with and without Caisim plants (Brassica juncea L.). Parameters
measured were soil
physical properties, evapotranspiration, field
capacity, emission uniformity,
drip irrigation efficiency, and Caisim (Brassica juncea L.) dry
weight. The results showed that Latosol soil
had clayey loam texture with a bulk density value of 1,05 g/cm3, particle
density of 2,5 g/cm, porosity of 58,07% and a water content of 36,67% field
capacity, evapotranspiration in the early phase was 1,11 mm/day, in the middle phase was 1,91
mm/day, and in the final phase was 1,18 mm/day, the average emission uniformity
was 91,86%, the efficiency of use of irrigation in the final phase of plant
growth was 100% on the ground with or without plants. Irrigation storage
efficiency value at the end of the growth phase on soil with plants was 49,28%
and was 15,42% on soil without plants, Caisim had an average dry weight of 1,65
grams and a water content of 87,66%.
