Abstract

Patchouli is a plant of essential oils cultivated dry land without any irrigation except rainfall only. The low amount of water in cultivation is a common constraint and hampers growth and patchouli yield. This study aims to obtain the appropriate level of water content on patchouli cultivation in rain-fed and how it impacts on growth and results. Implemented in Reuleut Timu Village Muara Batu District, North Aceh District from June to December 2015. Using randomized block design a repeated of 9 (nine) times with the following treatments: K1 = water supply 100% of field capacity, K2 = water supply 75% field capacity, K3 = water supply 50% field capacity K4 = water supply 25% field capacity. The results of this study indicate that the water content in the field capacity showed very significant difference to the patchouli leaf area. 75-100% moisture content results in better oil production and growth, while the highest patchouli alcohol content is achieved at 50% moisture content. The lower the water content given, the more negatively affect the growth and yield of patchouli plants.
