The design used was a factorial complete randomized design (CRD), it consisted of 2 factors. The first factor was vermicompost fertilizer which consisted of 4 levels (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 kg/plot) The second factor was NPK Mutiara 16:16:16 which consisted of 4 levels (0, 10, 20, 30 g /plots). The results showed that vermicompost fertilizer and NPK Mutiara 16:16:16 gave a significant interaction on plant height, number of leaves, harvest age, economic wet weight, dry weight of plants and root volume with the best treatment of castor fertilizer 1.5 kg/plot and giving Pearl NPK 16:16:16 20 g/plot (K3N2). The main effect of vermicompost fertilizer on parameters of harvest age with the best dose of vermicompost fertilizer 1.5 kg/plot (K3). The main effect of NPK Mutiara 16:16:16 on harvest age parameters with the best dose of NPK Mutiara 16:16:16 20 g/plot (N2).
