Journal Title: Current Investigations in Agriculture and Current Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Written by Ir. Sri Najiyati & Ir. Danarti, human efforts to fulfill and regulate the need for plants for water, which is often called irrigation, have developed since ancient times. Although at that time the methods and tools used were still traditional and makeshift. At present the business has increased with technology. Various characteristics of plants in relation to water have been studied and sophisticated and modern mechanization tools have also been found, so that irrigation can be carried out appropriately both time and method as well as the amount of water requirements without requiring much labor. The description in this book begins with a description of the properties of water in nature and in relation to plants and the characteristics of each type of plant for water needs. Also contains instructions on ways to provide water for plants both traditional and modern, because according to the authors traditional methods are still relevant while modern methods are feasible to be implemented in Indonesia. Water is one of the factors that is very important for plant life. It is not surprising that its existence is very influential on the types of plants that live somewhere. In areas that have high rainfall, we will find plants that need a lot of water, while in areas with low rainfall we will find plants that are resistant to drought.The role of water for plant life is water as a nutrient solvent in the soil so that plants can easily take the nutrient through the roots as food and at the same time transport the hope to parts of plants that need it. Water is one of the important components in photosynthesis, namely the process of forming carbohydrates from water and carbon dioxide with the help of sunlight.
