Pengaruh Naungan Paranet terhadap Iklim Mikro dan Produktivitas Pucuk Tanaman Kolesom (Talinum triangulare (Jacq.)Willd.)

Abstract

Water-leaf (Talinum triangulare (Jacq).Willd.) is one of medicinal plant which has many benefits. Part of the plant organ which often utilized is the shoot. This research, which was conducted using factor analysis of fixed model, aimed analyze the effect of paranet shading on micro climet and productivity of water-leaf’s shoot. The results showed that paranet shading had profound effects on radiation and temperature, and on growth and productivity of water-leaf. Shading using paranet 50% could reduced radiation transmission by 27%, reduced temperature by 0.3ᵒC, and reduced shoot productivity by 17%; while using paranet 75% could reduced radiation transmission by 36% and reduced temperature by 0.6ᵒC, and reduced shoot productivity by 59%, respectively.
