<![CDATA[Cucumber production in South Sumatra declined in 2023. Productivity can be improved through the application of both organic and inorganic fertilizers. One type of organic fertilizer that can be applied is cattle manure, while inorganic fertilizers such as NPK are required to meet the nutrient needs of cucumber plants. This study aimed to determine the effects of cattle manure and NPK fertilizer dosages on the growth and yield of mini cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) variety Vitani F1. The experiment was conducted using a factorial randomized block design (RAKF) consisting of 9 treatment combinations with 3 replications, for a total of 27 experimental plots. The first factor was cattle manure dosage: S1 = 10 tons/ha (6 kg/plot), S2 = 30 tons/ha (18 kg/plot), and S3 = 50 tons/ha (30 kg/plot). The second factor was NPK fertilizer dosage: N1 = 400 kg/ha (240 g/plot), N2 = 600 kg/ha (360 g/plot), and N3 = 800 kg/ha (480 g/plot). The results indicated that cattle manure at 30 tons/ha (18 kg/plot) produced the best growth and yield of mini cucumber. NPK fertilizer at 600 kg/ha (360 g/plot) also gave the best results. The combination of cattle manure at 30 tons/ha (18 kg/plot) and NPK fertilizer at 600 kg/ha (360 g/plot) provided the most favorable effect on the growth and yield of mini cucumber.]]>
