This research was conducted with 8 treatments and 3 replications, in which P0: Control, P1: 5 gram / 200 ml, P2: 10 gram / 200 ml, P3: 15 gram / 200 ml, and P4: 20 gram / 200 ml, P5: 25 gram / 200 ml, P6: 30 gram / 200 ml, P7: 35 gram / 200 ml. Observations were done after 4 MST with 2 weekly measurements up to 14 MST. The best rate of the height, the length and the number of leaves of the oil palm plant were at the dosage of P6 (30 grams / 200 ml).
