Pengaruh Faktor Lingkungan terhadap Karakteristik Agronomi Tanaman Kopi pada Dua Tipe Penaung dalam Sistem Agroforestri

Abstract

Coffee plants are one of the plantation crops that are widely cultivated in various countries, including Indonesia. Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity can affect the agronomic characteristics of coffee plants. Coffee cultivation is usually carried out in agroforestry with shade plants such as rubber and sengon. The type of shade planted in coffee cultivation can affect environmental factors, both temperature, humidity and light intensity which will affect the agronomic characteristics of coffee plants. This study aims to analyze the effect of temperature, humidity, and light intensity on the agronomic characteristics of coffee plants in two types of shade in an agroforestry system. The research was conducted by measuring temperature, humidity, and light intensity in each observation plot. Agronomic characteristics were measured using a meter and counted manually or hand counter. The data obtained were analyzed using the Standard Error of Mean (SEM), regression, and correlation methods. The average temperature on agroforestry land with rubber shade was 29.30˚C and on sengon shade was 29.42˚C. The average humidity on agroforestry land with rubber shade is 65.72% and on sengon shade is 64.76%. The average light intensity on agroforestry land with rubber shade was 35.79% and on sengon shade was 45.36%. Environmental factors on both coffee agroforestry lands were not significantly different. Agronomic characteristics of coffee plants on both agroforestry land are significantly different. The best coffee plants growth is on agroforestry land with rubber shade. Environmental factors affect the agronomic characteristics of coffee plants on both agroforestry land with rubber and sengon shade.
