There were 16 treatments with 5 replications, including Controls (unapplied and AB fertilizer), liquid organic fertilizers (fish amino acid [FAA] and shrimp extract [SE]) and B application. Each experiment was carried out for 8 weeks arranging in a factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) as an experimental design.  Data were analyzed and the differences between treatments mean were compared using Tukey HSD test with significant level (P&lt;0.05). Results showed that the treatments were significantly affected the plant height (F15,368 = 12.51, P ≤0.001) and number of leaves (F15,368 = 19.14, P ≤0.001). This study proved that the application of liquid organic fertilizers (FAA and shrimp extract) and B application can contribute positive effects on plant growth for certain parameters only. However, they can also be used as an alternative fertilizer to reduce the usage of chemical fertilizer.</p>}, number={2}, journal={AgroTech- Food Science, Technology and Environment}, author={Che Nordin, Rosma and Abdul Mutalib, Asilah and Ismail, Zalina and Ab Latif, Zahidah}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={26-31} }
