This study aims to determine the effect of goat manure bokashi fertilizer on the growth and to determine the treatment that gives the best effect. This research was carried out at the Experimental Field Laboratory II and the Agrotechnology Laboratory, UHO Faculty of Agriculture from August 2021 to February 2022. This study used a randomized block design (RBD) with bokashi treatment of goat manure, which consisted of 6 levels of treatment, namely without fertilizer (K0), 10 t ha-1 (K1), 15 t ha-1 (K2), 20 t ha-1 (K3), 25 t ha-1 (K4) and NPK compound fertilizer 0,3 kg (M) for comparison. Each treatment was repeated 3 times. The research data were analyzed using ANOVA, if the calculated F is greater than the F table 5%, it will be continued with the Duncan's multiple distance test (DMRT). The variables observed included plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, stem diameter and plant dry weight. The results showed that the bokashi treatment of goat manure had a significant/very significant effect on plant height, number of leaves, leaf area and plant dry weight. The best effect on tomato plant growth was a dose of 25 t ha-1 equivalent to 10 kg plot-1 (K4). Keywords: Growth, Tomato, Bokashi, Goat manure
