KAJIAN PARAMETER VEGETATIF DAN GENERATIF PADA BEBERAPA GENOTIPE KEDELAI (Glycine max L Merril) TERHADAP KEKERINGAN DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN LARUTAN PEG

Abstract

The aims of research were to find: (1) the soybean variety having the best vegetative and generative growth. (2) drought stress treatment having the best effect on the best vegetative and generative growth. (3) interaction between varieties and drought stress treatment. The research had been undertaken in August to Nopember 2012 by using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The varieties were: galunggung, leuser, willis and lokon. The drought stresses were C0, C1, C2 and C3. The result showed that there was no interaction between varieties and drought stress on the vegetative growth stage. Drought stress treatment (C3) affected significantly on root dry weight and shoot ratio and number of root nodules. Drought stress treatment (C3) also significantly affected on plant high, plant dry weight, relatively growth rate and stress index. The drought stress treatment had significant effect on C2 treatment level. Leuser was the variety having the highest growth among the other varieties. Interaction between V factor and C factor had significant effect on number of productive branch with the best result was V4C1 combination. Variety affected generative growth, especially leuser (V2) having the best result compared with the other varieties particularly on number of productive branch, number of pods, number of pod fertile, total seed weight, number of seed per plant, total of dry weight and harvest index.
