PERTUMBUHAN DAN HASIL SAYURAN SINGKONG DAUN (MANIHOT ESCULENTA Crantz) PADA CEKAMAN KEKERINGAN DENGAN PENGGUNAAN MULSA ORGANIK
Cassava plants (Manihot esculenta) have a high tolerance to drought. However, it is not yet known how long cassava plants can survive in drought conditions. Therefore, this research aims to study the effect of watering intervals and determine the best treatment combination on the growth and yield of cassava leaves (Manihot esculenta Crantz.) with treatments of watering intervals and the application of organic mulch. This research was conducted in the Greenhouse and Plant Ecology and Physiology Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University, Indralaya District, Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra Province from June to August 2024. This research uses the Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) method, which consists of 2 factors: drought duration and organic mulch. The first factor is drought duration which consists of 5 treatments: 0 days of drought, 3 days of drought, 6 days of drought, 9 days of drought, and 12 days of drought. The second factor is organic mulch, which consists of no mulch and with mulch. The observed variables are soil moisture, number of leaves, greenness level, shoot height, shoot diameter, and destruction. The research results show that cassava plants can withstand drought stress, but their growth and yield differ when compared to cassava plants with sufficient water supply. Based on the duration of drought, cassava can survive up to the 6th day of drought, and the best results tend to be obtained from treatment 0 days of drought. Using organic mulch on cassava plants has a positive effect because it can reduce evaporation from the planting medium, with treatment with mulch tending to yield the best results. Meanwhile, the combined treatment has a significant impact only on the variables of leaf greenness on the 3rd day, fresh weight of non-edible leaves, fresh weight of non-edible stems, dry weight of non-edible leaves, and dry weight of non-edible stems
