<![CDATA[Edamame is a high-value vegetable soybean commodity with potential for cultivation in polybags under limited land conditions. Appropriate growing media and proper NPK fertilizer doses are required to support plant growth and yield. This study aimed to determine the effects of growing media, NPK fertilizer dose, and their interaction on the growth and yield of edamame. The study used a factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two factors and three replications. The first factor was growing media: soil (M0), soil + rice husk charcoal (M1), and soil + cocopeat (M2). The second factor was NPK fertilizer dose: 0 g/polybag (P0), 1.85 g/polybag (P1), and 2.46 g/polybag (P2). Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% level. The results showed that growing media significantly affected most growth and yield variables. Soil + rice husk charcoal produced the best results for plant height, number of productive branches, and seed weight per plant, while soil + cocopeat produced the best results for number of leaves, number of pods, pod weight, and number of seeds. NPK at 2.46 g/polybag produced the highest values for plant height, number of leaves, number of productive branches, number of pods, number of seeds, and pod weight per plant. The interaction between growing media and NPK dose significantly affected plant height, number of leaves, days to flowering, number of pods, and number of seeds. The combination of soil + cocopeat and 2.46 g/polybag NPK produced the highest potential pod weight, 5.30 ton/ha.]]>
