Abstract
Drought stress decreases plant growth and affects the loss of plant
production. Thiamine is a primary vitamin that has a role in preventing plant
damage under drought stress. The addition of thiamine is expected to help
reduce the loss in plant yield. The aim of this research was to study the
growth and yield responses of drought-stressed tomato toward application of
exogenous thiamine. The study was carried out in Kajoran district of Magelang
regency and the Laboratory of Plant Physiology and Breeding, Department of
Agriculture, Universitas Diponegoro, Semarang. The design used was factorial in
the base of Randomized Complete Design (RCD) with three replications. The first
factors were the drought stress (irrigation intervals); one-day interval (K1),
three-day interval (K2), and five-day interval (K3) and the second factors were
exogenous Thiamine treatment; 0 mg L-1 (T0), 50 mg L-1
(T1), and 100 mg L-1 (T2). Parameters observed were plant height,
stem diameter, leaves number plant-1, fruits number plant-1,
and fruit weight plant-1. There was interaction between drought
stress and thiamine application on plant height (56 DAS). Separately, drought
stress and thiamine application affected the plant height (42 DAS), leaves
number, stem diameter, fruits number and weight.
