Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of using bokashi from market vegetable waste on the productivity of odot grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott). The research was carried out in the experimental field of the Animal Husbandry Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, University of North Sumatra.
