Aiming to understand the results of applying various liquid organic fertilizers on the productivity of land kale plants. This analysis applies a one-factor Randomized Group Design method with six levels with four repetitions.

The widest leaf width, long plant height, longest leaf, number of leaves, and total plant fresh weight were the parameters observed. The results of the observations were tested with Fisher level 5 & 1%, if there was a significant difference, the 5% BNT test was continued. The results showed that the provision of POC KNO3 gave the best results among other types of POC on the productivity of ground kale.
