Efforts to increase the growth and yield of pak choy (Brassica rapa L.) plants can be done through organic fertilization, one of which is by using coconut water-based POC. This study aims to determine the effect of coconut water POC on the growth and yield of pak choy plants. This study lasted for 2 months from February to April 2025. This study was conducted at the Green House, Faculty of Agriculture, Sam Ratulangi University Manado, using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method with 5 treatments, namely, P₀ Control (without POC), P₁ (POC 20 ml/L water), P₂ (POC 40 ml/L water), P₃ (POC 60 ml/L water) and P₄ (POC 80 ml/L water). Each treatment was repeated 3 times so that there were 15 experimental units with each experimental unit consisting of 3 plants so that a total of 45 plants with the observed variables were plant height, number of leaves, fresh weight and root weight. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and continued with the LSD test at the 5% level with the help of Minitab software version 21. The results showed that the administration of coconut water POC significantly affected all observation parameters. The P₄ treatment (POC 80 ml/L water) produced the highest values for all parameters.
