Abstract In Indonesia, stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bert. M.) is generally grown in mountainous area with relatively steep slopes. Although this plant has low nutrient requirements, soil development on different slope positions may significantly affect plant growth. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to study the effect of slope position on dry weight production of stevia grown on an Inceptisol (Brown Andosol). Slope position was found to have a significant effect on the production of stevia. Dry weight of stevia shoots at each slope position was significantly different with respect to harvesting period. The plants on the lower part of the transect slope tended to yield greater dry matter contents than those in the upper or middle parts of the slope.
