This research was conducted in people’s land where peat soil as growth media was taken from desa Rimbo Panjang Kab. Kampar Province of Riau with several dosages of cellulolytic microorganism (CM) wich consist of: 0, 10, 20 and30 mL/polybag treatment by completely randomized design with 3 replication. Parameter that was studied include tall of seed (cm), number of leaf and stem around (cm). Analysis of tissue of plant include: plant nutrient N, P and K. Data of study was analyzed statistically used Analysis of Variance and was continued to Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) on level 5%.
