RESPON PERTUMBUHAN BIBIT BAMBANG LANANG ( L.) Michelia champaca TERHADAP CEKAMAN

Abstract

Climate change has caused some part of land in Indonesia become waterlogged or drought. One approach of mitigation is to find out adaptive species in such condition. However the knowledge about growth capability of bambang lanang in waterlogged or drought stress is very limited. The objective of this research was to know the growth responses of bambang lanang seedlings on waterlogged or drought stress. Research design used was Factorial in Randomized Complete Design. The results showed that seedling of bambang lanang until four weeks old was sensitive to drought or waterlogged treatment, as confirmed by IS for diameter response and survival rate of 1.089–1.155 and 1.318, respectively. In general tolerant mechanism for stress condition is not been visible at the seedling level until four weeks old.
