Abstract :
One of the factors that affect the growth of plants is apuddle. This study was aimed to assess the effect of inundation time of the latosol soil physical properties and water quality as well as the growth of eggplant (Solanum melongea L.). The method used was non factorial completely randomized design, with 3 treatments and 5 replicates, namely the condition of field capacity, flooded 1 day, 3 days to dry flooded 3 days. The parameters measured were evapotranspiration, water quality, soil physical properties, and dry weight of eggplant. Results showed that the best soil physical properties and water quality as well as the better growth of plant is in the condition flooded 1 day. Soil physical properties with flooded conditions 1 day for organic matterial content was 2.69%, porosity was 67.66%, percolation was 187cm/day, soil salinity was 12.8 mS /cm, the pH value was 6.88, and soil temperature was 27.38oC. Water quality at flooded 1 day for dissolved oxygen was 1.95 ppm, the pH value was 8.1, soil temperature was 28oC, and soil salinity was 7.4 mS/cm. The weight of plants obtained with soil conditions flooded 1 day was 80.52 g and plant height was 46.4 cm.
