Abstract This research was aimed to investigate the effects of different doses of NPK fertilization on growth and productivity of Cichorium intybus . The study was carried out in the farm facility of Faculty of Animal Science Universitas Gadjah Mada. There were three treatments: 0 kg/ha (P0), 45 kg/ha (P1), and 60 kg/ha (P2) (3 replications for each). Seeds were planted in a plot of 1 x 1.5 m. Fertilization was performed once prior to cultivation period (day-15). The height and length of plants were recorded once a week for 30 d. Defoliation was conducted when the plant’s height reached 5 cm (day-30). Data observed including plant’s height and length, number of leaves, fresh production, dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM) production. Data were evaluated by using one-way ANOVA and followed by Duncan’s New Multiple Range test for significant difference. The results showed that P2 significantly increased (P<0.05) the fresh, DM, and OM of Cichorium intybus , resulting 260.8 tons/ha/year of fresh production, 35.53 tons/ha/year of dry matter, and 28.12 tons/ha/year of organic matter. To conclude this study, the increasing dose of NPK fertilized is able to increase the fresh, DM, and OM production of Cichorium intybus .
