Abstract

Produktivitas lahan kering dapat ditingkatkan bila periode ketersediaan lengas tanah pada musim kering dapat diperpanjang. Hydraulic lift sebagai proses redistribusi air tanah dari lapisan bawah yang lebih lembab ke lapisan dangkal yang cepat mengering oleh aktivitas akar tanaman, merupakan aspek ekologis yang layak diperhitungkan dalam mengelola tata air di lahan kering. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengevaluasi kemampuan hydraulic lift tanaman jambu mete yang diindikasikan oleh nilai recovery lengas tanah harian (RLTH) pasca kehilangan lengas tanah oleh aktivitas evapotranspirasi pada siang hari. Penelitian dilakukan pada area terbuka berdampingan dengan blok koleksi jambu mete umur 20 tahun di Kebun Percobaan Cikampek, Jawa Barat. Penilaian RLTH dilakukan pada radius 1,0; 1,5; 2,0 dan 2,5 kali jari-jari kanopi dari pangkal jambu mete sebagai faktor perlakuan tunggal yang disusun dalam rancangan acak kelompok, enam ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai RLTH jambu mete selalu positif dan lebih besar dari 0,010 MPa sebagai nilai ambang minimal suatu tanaman dinyatakan memiliki kemampuan hydraulic lift. Nilai rata-rata RLTH pada kedalaman tanah 25-75 cm tidak berbeda nyata diantara posisi dari pangkal jambu mete, dan mencapai sekitar 0,25-0,28% (w/w) atau setara 0,043–0,048 MPa. Berdasarkan nilai RLTH, hasil perhitungan volumetrik penambahan air tanah harian pada blok jambu mete mencapai kisaran 0,26-1,35 l air m-2. Status lengas tanah terdeteksi masih berada pada kisaran 40-60% air tersedia, kecuali untuk perlakuan 1,0 kali jari-jari kanopi. Kesimpulan dari hasil penelitian ini adalah tanaman jambu mete terbukti memiliki kemampuan hydraulic lift, dan mengindikasikan turut berkontribusi memelihara kelengasan tanah pada musim kering.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Pepper is classified as nutrient demanding crop. In the field cultivation practices, 20-50% of the total cost of input production is for fertilizer provision. Therefore,  nutrient management is  the key to improve pepper cultivation efficiency in the field. Currently, fertilization practices in pepper cultivation in the field are lack of synchronization between  composition, dosage, frequency  and nutrient requirement. This lead to poor plant performance and much lesser production than its potential. Application of fertigation technology is enable to precisely adjust the composition and dosage of nutrients according to the physiological development of the plant, hence improving nutrient use efficiency.  Furthermore, it promotes maximum plant growth and yield. The results of previous studies indicated that the application of fertigation technology in horticultural plants induced nutrient use efficiency up to 25-40% compared to conventional fertilization approach, hence improving farmer’s income 10-15%. Even though fertigation is technically beneficial, its application in pepper cultivation in Indonesia has not yet developed. Several factors were alleged as the obstacles were lack of understanding of pepper farmers towards the superiority of fertigation technology, the technology  that are considered to be still expensive hence increasing  total cost, and the unavailability of alternative easy and cheap fertigation  technologies. The objective of this review was to describe the development of fertigation technology, its economic value and the perspective of its application in pepper cultivation.ABSTRAK Lada (Peper nigrum L.) tergolong tanaman pengkonsumsi hara tinggi. Sekitar 20-50% dari total pembiayaan input produksi lada adalah untuk penyediaan pupuk. Oleh karena itu, teknis pengelolaan hara menjadi faktor penentu yang perlu diperhatikan dalam meningkatkan efisiensi budidaya lada. Praktek pemupukan lada secara konvensional umumnya masih bermasalah pada kurang sinkronnya komposisi, dosis, dan proporsi pemberian hara dengan kebutuhan tanaman lada, sehingga menyebabkan pertumbuhan dan produktivitas aktual jauh di bawah potensinya. Melalui aplikasi teknologi fertigasi memungkinkan untuk mengatur komposisi dan dosis hara secara tepat sesuai dengan perkembangan fisiologis tanaman, sehingga selain penggunaan hara menjadi lebih efisien, juga memberikan efek positif terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman menjadi lebih maksimal. Beberapa hasil penelitian sebelumnya membuktikan bahwa penerapan teknologi fertigasi pada kelompok tanaman hortikultura dapat mengefisienkan penggunaan hara hingga 25-40% dibandingkan cara pemupukan konvensional, dengan disertai tambahan pendapatan pada kisaran 10-15%. Meskipun secara teknis fertigasi terbukti menguntungkan, namun penerapannya pada budidaya lada di Indonesia justru belum berkembang. Beberapa faktor disinyalir sebagai penyebab antara lain faktor kurang fahamnya petani lada terhadap keunggulan teknologi fertigasi, investasi pembiayaan yang dianggap masih mahal, dan belum tersedianya alternatif teknologi fertigasi yang mudah dan murah pembiayaannya. Tujuan penulisan review ini adalah menguraikan perkembangan teknologi fertigasi dan nilai keekonomian pada beberapa kasus implementasinya pada komoditas komersial lain, serta perspektif aplikasinya pada budidaya lada.

Abstract

Hydraulic lift (HL) plants are reported to share water to other plants during drought period. Our previous study found cashew had HL capability, however it was still unclear for sharing water. This study was carried out at the greenhouse of Cimanggu from May to November 2016, to evaluate whether the cashew HL could share water during drought period and its effect on maintaining soil moisture, leaf water potential, transpiration, and photosynthesis of maize. The cashew variety, B-02 and maize variety, Lamuru, planted side by side in the special designed pots, and setted in three conditions, i.e. full irrigation (B), drought without cashew HL access (K), and drought with cashew HL access (H). All of the treated plants were setted in a randomized block design with nine replicates. The results showed the cashew HL could share water to themaize. During the advanced drought periods, the soil moisture of maize was maintained higher ± 2.5% compared to it without access of cashew HL. It promoted water status of maize to be better at 8th day after drought treatment, with decrease of leaf water potential, transpiration, and photosynthesis respectively just about 30%, 36% and 32% of the values on the well irrigated condition. However, those decreased values reached 40%, 70% and 57% for the maize without cashew HL access. This study showed the cashew HL quite effectively induced the sharing water to the maize during drought periods, and alleviated the worse effects of drought stress, so that the maize could maintain a good soil moisture and tissue water status.Keywords: cashew, hydraulic lifts, sharing water, leaf water potential,maize AbstrakTanaman hydraulic lift (HL) dilaporkan dapat memasok air pada tanaman lain di sekitarnya saat periode kekeringan. Hasil studi sebelumnya menunjukkan jambu mete memiliki kemampuan HL, namun belum diketahui potensi pasokan airnya. Penelitian ini dilakukan di komplek rumah kaca Cimanggu antara Mei-November 2016 dengan tujuan mengevaluasi kemampuan pasokan air dari hydraulic lift jambu mete pada periode kekeringan dan efeknya terhadap status air jaringan jagung yang tumbuh di sekitarnya. Jambu mete varietas B-02 dan jagung varietas Lamuru ditanam berdampingan pada pot dengan desain khusus, yang diatur dalam tiga kondisi perlakuan, yakni selalu berkecukupan air (B), kekeringan tanpa ada akses HL jambu mete (K), dan kekeringan dengan akses HL jambu mete (H). Ketiga perlakuan kondisi tanaman tersebut ditempatkan di rumah kaca dalam rancangan acak kelompok dengan sembilan ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan HL jambu mete dapat memasok air pada jagung, sehingga pada periode kekeringan tingkat lanjut, lengas tanahnya menjadi lebih tinggi ± 2,5% dibandingkan jagung tanpa akses HL jambu mete. Adanya pasokan air tersebut menyebabkan status air jaringan jagung selama periode kekeringan menjadi lebih baik dengan tingkat penurunan nilai dari kondisi kecukupan air pada potensial air daun, transpirasi, dan fotosintesis berturut-turut hanya sekitar 30%, 36%, dan 32%, dibandingkan penurunan nilai tersebut pada kondisi tanpa akses HL jambu mete yang mencapai 40%, 70%, dan 66%. Hasil penelitian ini memperlihatkan pasokan air pada jagung oleh HL jambu mete cukup efektif pada periode kekeringan, dan membantu meringankan efek stres kekeringan pada jagung sehingga dapat memelihara status air jaringannya tetap baik.
