ANALISIS PERTUMBUHAN DAN PERKEMBANGAN TANAMAN KACANG TANAH

Abstract

Abstract

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important legume commodity with a unique life cycle and development pattern, including the formation of gynophores and pods underground. This study aims to analyze the theoretical aspects of vegetative growth and generative development of peanut plants and the factors influencing them. Vegetative growth includes the development of roots, stems, and leaves, which determines the initial photosynthetic capacity. The generative phase is characterized by flowering, gynophore formation, and pod development, which is highly influenced by calcium availability. The theories of exponential and sigmoid growth, as well as the source-sink concept, are relevant in understanding the dynamics of biomass accumulation and resource allocation. Environmental factors such as water availability, nutrients, temperature, and light play a crucial role in optimizing growth and development. Furthermore, the role of plant hormones is theoretically significant in internal regulation. A comprehensive understanding of the growth and development phases and the influencing factors is essential for the development of more productive and sustainable peanut cultivation practices.
