BABENINGSI (A1C214007) Pengaruh ekstrak rimpang alang-alang

(Imperata cylindrica L.) terhadap pertumbuhan bandotan (Ageratum conyzoides)’’.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh ekstrak rimpang alang-
alang (Imperata cylindrica L.) terhadap pertumbuhan bandotan
(Ageratum conyzoides). Penelitian dilaksanakan di kebun percobaan Jurusan
Pendidikan Biologi dan Laboratorium Jurusan Pendidikan Kimia, FKIP UHO.
Penelitian ini menggunakan desain rancangan acak lengkap (RAL), dengan 5
perlakuan masing-masing 3 kali ulangan. Perlakuan dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari
beberapa konsentrasi yaitu kontrol (X0), X1 (1%), X2 (2%), X3 (3%), dan X4 (4%).
Indikator pertumbuhan dalam penelitian ini yaitu perubahan morfologi warna daun,
warna batang dan warna bunga. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis
deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perubahan warna daun, warna batang
dan warna bunga Ageratum conyzoides umumnya terjadi pada hari ketiga setelah
pemberian ekstrak rimpang alang-alang (Imperata cylindrica L.). Warna daun yang
semula berwarna hijau berubah menjadi hijau kekuning-kuningan, kuning kecoklatan,
coklat dan akhirnya mati. Batang tanaman semula berwarna kehijauan berubah
menjadi hijau kecoklatan, coklat dan mati serta warna bunga, semula berwarna putih
menjadi putih kecokelatan, cokelat dan akhirnya gugur.
Kata Kunci: Ekstrak Rimpang Alang-Alang (Imperata cylindrica L.), Pertumbuhan,

 ABSTRACT

BABENINGSI (A1C214007) Effect of alang-alang rhizome extract (Imperata

cylindrica L.) on the growth of bandotan (Ageratum conyzoides) '. This study aims to

determine the effect of alang-alang rhizome extract (Imperata cylindrica L.) on the

growth of bandotan (Ageratum conyzoides). The research was carried out in the

experimental garden of the Department of Biology and the Laboratory of the

Department of Chemistry Education, FKIP UHO. This study used a completely

randomized design (CRD) design, with 5 treatments each 3 times. The treatment in

this study consisted of several concentrations namely control (X0), X1 (1%), X2

(2%), X3 (3%), and X4 (4%). Growth indicators in this study are morphological

changes in leaf color, stem color and flower color. The data analysis technique used is

descriptive analysis. The results showed that changes in leaf color, stem color and

flower color of Ageratum conyzoides generally occurred on the third day after the

administration of alang-alang rimpang extract (Imperata cylindrica L.). The color of

the leaves that were originally green turned into yellowish green, brownish yellow,

brown and eventually died. The stem of the original greenish plant turned brownish

brown, brown and dead and the color of the flower, which was originally white to

brown, brown and finally died.
