The study was arranged based on a Randomized Block Design with five treatments namely: without organic matter, chicken manure, Blotong (Filter press mud), bokashi common water hyacinth, bokashi rice straw. The results showed that from variables tested; plant height, the number of leaves, the width of leaves, fresh weight of plants, fresh weight of plants per plot, and fresh weight per hectare, treatment with bokashi common water hyacinth obtained the best result

Related to the cultivation of plants which lately is often discussed about sustainable agricultural production systems that are indicated by the existence of sustainability, environmentally friendly and ensure ecological sustainability, so that sustainable agricultural production systems are synonymous with the term organic agriculture development
Sources of organic matter that can be used to increase the production of agricultural crops may come from manure, rice straw, and common water hyacinth leaves, and blotong
Summary
Development of the horticulture subsector in Indonesia today is directed at the agribusiness system. Agrotech Journal/5.1; 41-46; June 2020 and the fact that it has almost the same taste as mustard greens, its presence is accepted at the dinner table These plants are able to grow in the lowlands and highlands but produce better in the highlands, and can be harvested in a short time, this plant has the potential to be developed.

Sources of organic matter that can be used to increase the production of agricultural crops may come from manure, rice straw, and common water hyacinth leaves, and blotong (waste from a sugar factory).
