【 摘 要 】

Growing media plays an important role as a source of nutrition for plant growth so that the growing media can affect the quality of plant growth. This research aimed to identify the morphological characters and N uptake of mint plants treated with a different composition of growing media. The research was conducted using a Non-Factorial Randomized Block Design with seven treatments of growing media composition and four replications. The treatment is top soil; top soil + biochar (3: 1, v/v), top soil + chicken manure (3: 1, v/v), top soil+oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) compost (3: 1, v/v), top soil + OPEFB compost+chicken manure (2: 1: 1, v/v/v), top soil+biochar+chicken manure (2: 1: 1, v/v/v) and top soil+biochar+compost (2: 1 : 1, v/v/v). The results showed that the composition of the top soil+OPEFB compost (3: 1, v/v) media was the best composition of growing media because it produced the sprouting age, number of shoots, length of shoots and N nutrient uptake of mint plants were higher than the composition of other growing media.
