ABSTRAK: Salah satu keberhasilan dalam budidaya kopi dapat ditentukan oleh penyediaan bibit yang berkualitas. Bahan organik seperti gamal dapat digunakan sebagai pupuk organik yang dapat membantu memenuhi kebutuhan unsur hara pada proses pertumbuhan bibit. Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengetahui respon penggunaan bahan organik gamal terhadap kualitas pertumbuhan bibit kopi arabika pada tanah inceptisol. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Desa Lape Kecamatan Poso Pesisir, pada bulan Maret sampai bulan Agustus 2023. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok yang terdiri dari 5 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan. Perlakuan terdiri dari kontrol, 9 gram/polybag, 11 gram/polybag, 13 gram/polybag, dan 15 gram/polybag. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian pupuk organik gamal memberikan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap waktu berkecambah, tinggi tanaman, lilit batang, jumlah daun, luas daun, bobot basah tajuk dan akar hari ke 120 setelah tanam, bobot kering tajuk dan panjang akar bibit kopi arabika. Pemberian pupuk organik gamal tidak memberikan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap, bobot kering akar pada umur 60 dan 120 HST. ABSTRACT: One of the successes in coffee cultivation can be determined by providing quality seeds. Organic materials such as gamal can be used as organic fertilizer which can help meet the nutritional needs of the seedling growth process. The research was conducted to determine the response of using gamal organic material to the quality of growth of Arabica coffee seedlings in inceptisol soil. The research was carried out in Lape Village, Poso Pesisir SubDistrict, from March to August 2023. The research used a Randomized Block Design consisting of 5 treatments and 4 replications.The treatments consisted of control, 9 grams/polybag, 11 grams/polybag, 13 grams/polybag, and 15 grams/polybag. The results of the research obtained that the application of gamal organic fertilizer had a significant effect on germination time, plant height, stem girth, number of leaves, leaf area, wet weight of the crown and roots on the 120th day after planting, dry weight of the crown and root length of Arabica coffee seedlings. Provision gamal organic fertilizer did not have a significant effect on the wet weight of the shoots and roots on the 60th day after planting, the dry weight of the roots at the ages of 60 and 120 HST
