Kekeringan merupakan suatu keadaan dimana ketersediaan air tidak mencukupi untuk keberlangsungan
makhluk hidup dan lingkungan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh kekeringan
terhadap tumbuhan Khaya anthotheca dengan parameter jumlah stomata, kadar klorofil pada daun, dan laju
transpirasi. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Labtek VA Gedung Kehutanan Kampus ITB Jatinangor selama tiga
minggu. Pada minggu pertama bibit Khaya anthotheca dilapisi dengan alumunium foil dan diberi nomor
penanda 1-8, selanjutnya bibit Khaya anthotheca diberikan dua perlakuan dengan bibit nomor 1-4 kondisi
normal dan nomor 5-8 kondisi kering. Pada minggu kedua dilakukan pengukuran berat basah dan berat kering
pada setiap bibit Khaya anthotheca, setelah itu diambil 2 bibit pada setiap perlakuan untuk dihancurkan dan
sisanya diamati di laboratorium. Hal yang sama juga dilakukan pada minggu ketiga penelitian. Hasil penelitian
jumlah stomata yang tertutup lebih banyak pada kontrol kering, sedangkan jumlah stomata yang terbuka lebih
banyak pada kontrol basah.
Abstract
Drought is a condition where the availability of water is not sufficient for the survival of living things and the
environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of drought on the Khaya anthotheca plant
with parameters of the number of stomata, chlorophyll content in leaves, and the rate of transpiration. This
research was conducted at the VA Labtek Forestry Building ITB Campus Jatinangor for three weeks. In the first
week the seeds of Khaya anthotheca were coated with aluminum foil and given a marker number 1-8, then the
seeds of Khaya anthotheca were given two treatments with seeds number 1-4 under normal conditions and
number 5-8 under dry conditions. In the second week, wet and dry weight measurements were taken for each
Khaya anthotheca seedling, after which 2 seeds were taken in each treatment to be crushed and the rest were
observed in the laboratory. The same thing was done in the third week of the study. The results of the study
showed that the number of closed stomata was more in the dry control, whereas the number of stomata that
were exposed was more in the wet control.
