Brassica juncea L. commonly known as the mustard family is familiar for Malaysian. In
order to reduce dependency against imported vegetable, one of the strategy is
enhance the market of vegetables production using organic fertilizer. Objectives of this
study is to identify the effect of different types and rates of organic fertilizer on the
growth and yield of mustard. Two types of organic fertilizer will be used are chicken
manure and effective microorganism with four rate which is 0, 10, 20 and 30 ml for
EM and 0, 10, 20, and 30 g of chicken manure. Parameter will be measured are plant
height, number of leaves, size of leaf and number of branch. The data will be collected
weekly and data of yield will be taken when the plant was harvested. This study is
expected to show different effect on growth and yield of mustard when applied with
different fertilizer.
