The Kangkung or Kale plant is a member of the family Convolvulaceae. can be classified as vegetable plants. Banana humps are wastes that pollute the air because they cause unpleasant smell and reduce the beauty of the environment. But in essence organic waste such as banana weevils can be used as organic fertilizer because it provides nutrients for plants. Banana humps contain nutrients and microbes needed by plants. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the concentration of local microorganism liquid fertilizer from banana weevil (MOLBH) and NPK fertilizer dosage on the growth and production of land water kangkung . The research method was carried out using factorial randomized block design (RBD) with two factors. The first factor is the concentration of liquid fertilizer from banana weevil (MOLBH) which consists of: without fertilizer (MOLBH0) 0 ml / l water, with a concentration of liquid fertilizer (MOLBH1), from 5 ml / l water, liquid fertilizer concentration (MOLBH2) 10 ml / l water and liquid fertilizer concentration (MOLBH3) 15 ml / l water. The second factor consisted of: without fertilizer dosage (NPK0) 0 gram, with fertilizer dose (NPK1) 7.5 gram, dose (NPK2) 15 gram and (NPK3) 22.5 gram dose. Each treatment combination was repeated three times. The results showed that the use of MOLBH fertilizers showed significant or significant and very significant differences for the average number of leaves at 42 days after harvest, with a number of leaves of 20 strands, for plant height at 42 days, with an average height of 19 cm, and for stem diameter at 42 days after harvest, with the largest average of 4.11 mm, while for fresh harvest weight at 42 days after harvest, with an average of 16 grams per plant. NPK also shows the same response at different ages. However, the interaction of MOLBH NPK fertilizer did not show a significant response to the fresh weight of the Kangkung or Kale , at the age of 42 days after harvest.
