The study aims to determine the effect and get the best dose of guano fertilizer on the growth of oil palm seedlings in Pre Nursery conducted experimentally with a Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with 5 levels of treatment, 4 replications and 3 plants / plots with observational parameters are seed height, girth and number and leaf area. Observation data were analyzed statistically with variance and continued with Duncan test of 5% level. The application of guano fertilizer has a significant effect on plant height and leaf area, while the number of leaves and stem diameter has no significant effect. The 0.5 kg / polybag guano fertilizer treatment gave the best results to the growth of oil palm seedlings (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) in the pre-nursery.
