IMPLEMENTATION OF DRIP IRRIGATION ON THE GROWTH OF PAGODA MUSTARD (Brassica narinosa L.)

Drip irrigation is being used to develop Pagoda Mustard irrigation technology in arid areas. This study aims to determine the effect of drip irrigation on the growth of pagoda mustard plants. The study will be conducted from September to December 2024 at the Agrotechnology Experimental field, Faculty of Science and Technology. The treatment consists of 4 levels, namely watering irrigation, drip irrigation once per day, drip irrigation twice per day, and drip irrigation three times per day. Each was repeated three times. Sample data analysis includes microclimate parameters and plant growth. The data are tested with ANOVA, if significantly different, then further tested with Least Significant Difference (LSD) 5% using RStudio. The results of this study can conclude that drip irrigation technology can match the growth of pagoda mustard plants compared to general watering in every growth observation parameter.
