The aim was to determine the effect of applying several types of manure on plant height, leaf length and leaf width of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) cv.Taiwan. This study used a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 6 replications. This study used 24 strokes of CV Taiwan elephant grass, 24 polybags, acid soil, cow, chicken and goat manure. If the F calculated for the treatment is greater than the F table then a further DNMRT test is carried out. This research was conducted in a green house located in Koto Baru, Kubung District, Solok Regency. From the research results it was found that the application of several types of manure had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on plant height, leaf length and leaf width of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) cv.Taiwan. However, there was no significant effect (P>0.05) on different types of manure (cow, goat and chicken manure). But judging from the numbers, manure that comes from goats provides higher yields.
