Abstract

Sidaguri (Sida rhombifolia) is a wild plant with the ability to cure various diseases. Continuous exploitation of natural source can reduce the sustainability of this plant species. On the other hand, this plant is often ignored because it is considered as weed. This study aims to provide information about proper cultivation of Sidaguri to the community and medicinal plant farmers in order to maintain its sustainability and its potential to be used as cultivated plant. The study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two treatment factors: transplanting techniques (puteran, cabutan, stump) and water availability (50, 37.5, 25, 12.5% water field capacity). Observation data were analyzed by analysis of variance and followed by DMRT test at 5% upon the significant result. The results have revealed that the transplanting technique of transplanting tillers with puteran technique produces the best growth and 25% water availability increases plant growth and yield. The result suggests that Sidaguri is a plant that is tolerant to drought.
