Abstract
Marsilea crenata Presl., commonly known as clover, is a plant with nutritional and bioactive compounds that has potential as a food and herbal ingredient. Its utilization requires appropriate cultivation techniques to optimize growth and yield. This study aimed to determine the effects of planting media composition and guano fertilizer dosage on the growth and yield of clover. The research was conducted at the Experimental Field of the Faculty of Agriculture, UPN "Veteran" East Java, from October to November 2025. A factorial randomized full design with two components was employed in the experiment. The composition of the planting media was the first factor: M1, soil + rice husk charcoal (1:1); M2, soil + rice husk charcoal + chicken manure (1:1:1); and M3, soil + rice husk charcoal + cow manure (1:1:1). Guano fertilizer dosage (D0, 0; D1, 15; D2, 20; and D3, 25 g polybag⁻¹) was the second factor. The findings demonstrated that the number of leaves, branches, plant height, and fresh weight of clover were all strongly impacted by the combination of M3 and D1. Favorable conditions for clover growth and fresh biomass production were created by combining soil, rice husk charcoal, and cow dung (1:1:1) with 15 g polybag⁻¹ guano fertilizer.
