<![CDATA[Wren eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is a horticultural crop that is favored because it can be processed into various foods and has high nutritional content, particularly vitamin A and phosphorus. This study aimed to determine the effect of sugarcane bagasse compost dosage and the concentration of TOP G2 liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) on the growth and yield of gelatik eggplant (Solanum melongena L.). The research was conducted in Ngembe Village, Pasuruan, from December 2024 to February 2025 using a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors, namely sugarcane bagasse compost dosage (10, 20, and 30 tons/ha) and TOP G2 LOF concentrations (0, 4, 6, and 8 ml/l), each with three replications. The observed variables included plant height, number of leaves, days to first flowering, total number of flowers, number of fruits, and fruit weight per plant. The results showed that the interaction of 20 tons/ha sugarcane bagasse compost and 6 ml/l LOF produced the best plant height and fruit weight. A compost dosage of 30 tons/ha combined with 8 ml/l LOF accelerated flowering and increased the number of leaves and flowers. TOP G2 LOF at a concentration of 8 ml/l yielded the highest number of fruits, although it was not significantly different from the 6 ml/l concentration. Therefore, the combination of 20 tons/ha sugarcane bagasse compost and 6 ml/l liquid organic fertilizer is recommended as the most effective treatment to optimize the growth and yield of gelatik eggplant.]]>
