Abstract
This research was conducted to determine the effect of the combination of planting media on the growth of Mucuna bracteata by applying vermicompost. The research had been carried out in the practical garden of the Polytechnic of Lembaga Pendidikan Perkebunan, Wedomartani, Yogyakarta for 2 months from September to October 2019. The research method used a non-factorial randomized block design (RBD) with five treatments. The treatment carried out was a combination of planting media, between soil and vermicompost, namely P0 (100% soil), P1 (80% soil and 20% vermicompost), P2 (60% soil and 40% vermicompost), P3 (40% soil and 60% vermicompost) and P4 (20% soil and 80% vermicompost). The parameters observed in the study were plant height, number of leaves, and stem diameter. The results showed that the growth of Mucuna bracteate seedlings was influenced by the application of vermicompost. The highest plant height and stem diameter in Mucuna bracteate seedlings were obtained in P3 treatment (40% soil and 60% vermicompost), while the highest number of leaves was obtained from P4 treatment (20% soil and 80% vermicompost). Vermicompost can increase soil support for the growth of Mucuna bracteate seedlings so the growth of Mucuna bracteate increases.

Summary
Tabel 1 menunjukkan bahwa pH tanah sudah baik, dan yang masih menjadi kendala adalah Corganik, K2O dan KPK tanah. Tabel 3 menunjukkan bahwa komposisi media tanam P3 (40% tanah dan 60% pupuk kascing) memberikan tingi tanaman tertinggi dan berbeda nyata dengan tinggi tanaman pada perlakuan lainnya. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa penambahan pupuk kascing pada media tanah untuk penanaman Mucuna bracteata dapat memberikan peningkatan pada tinggi tanaman, dibandingkan dengan tanpa pemberian pupuk kascing. Pemberian pupuk kascing memberikan masukan hara dalam tanah, sehingga dapat memperbaiki media tanam, dan akan meningkatkan pertumbuhan tanaman (Limbong et al, 2014). Hasil ini memberikan makna bahwa pemberian pupuk kascing meningkatkan jumlah daun tanaman Mucuna bracteata meskipun tidak berbeda nyata, tetapi ada kecenderungan terjadi peningkatan. Kombinasi media tanam 40% tanah dan 60% pupuk kascing memberikan tinggi tanaman dan diameter batang tertinggi pada bibit Mucuna bracteate meskipun tidak menunjukkan beda nyata.
