Glycine max. L. Merril. is one of Indonesia’s strategic commodities after rice and corn. Efforts to increase soybean productivity are carried out by using Moringa leaf extract and cow manure. This study aims to determine the effect of the dose of Moringa leaf extract and cow manure on the growth and yield of soybeans. The research was carried out from October to December 2020. In Jagalan Village, Karangnongko District, Klaten Regency, Central Java, the soil type was regosol. The research design used the factorial method with a completely randomized design (CRD) which consisted of 2 factors, the first factor was Moringa leaf extract dose variations (M) were 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 ml. /L (M0, M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5), the second factor is cow manure (C) which is 30 and 60 g/polybag (P1 and P2). The results showed that the combination treatment of C5P2 at a dose of 50 ml/L of Moringa leaf extract and 60g/polybag of cow manure had the highest growth and yield compared to other treatments. The benefit of this research is to provide information on the use of appropriate doses of Moringa leaf extract and cow manure on soybean growth and yield.
