The aim of this study was to examine the effect of organic buffalo faeces organic fertilizer combination of fermented coffee peel on Indigofera zollingeriana plant growth. This research was conducted in Parlondut Village, Pangururan District, Samosir Regency, North Sumatra from March to May 2019. The design used in this study was a completely randomized design with 4 treatments. T0 = no buffalo feces without coffee peelcombination; T1 = faeces buffalo coffee peel combination 200g; T2 = faeces buffalo coffee peel combination 400g; and T3 = faeces buffalo coffee peel combination 600g. Variables observed were plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, stem diameter, and width of leaves.The results showed that the administration of coffee peel buffalo feces combination had a very significant influence on research parameters increasing,i.e plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, stem diameter, leaf width of Indigofera zollingeriana plants. The conclusion of this research is that increasing fertilizer dosage by using buffalo faeces combination of coffee peel on Indigofera zollingeriana plant can increase plant growth.
