Abstract

Organic fertiliser can be essential in cultivating healthy and quality medicinal herbs. This study aims to investigate the effects of organic fertilisers and worm tea application on the growth of Clinacanthus nutans. This experiment was assigned in a completely randomised design (CRD) with five replications (r = 5) for 60 days. The treatments consist of T1 (chicken dung), T2 (chicken manure + worm tea spray), T3 (vermicompost), T4 (vermicompost + worm tea spray), T5 (worm tea soil application), and T6 (worm tea soil application + worm tea spray). The measured parameters were plant height, number of leaves, root, stem and leaf fresh weight and dry weight, total biomass, shoot and root biomass, and relative chlorophyll content (SPAD value). The results indicated that the application of chicken manure + worm tea spray (T2) increases total plant biomass, number of leaves, leaf fresh weight, and dry weight, and shoot biomass by 59%, 35%, 141%, 107%, and 80% compared to T4. The results of this study suggest that combining poultry manure and worm tea spray is promising for promoting plant growth and productivity.
