The purpose of this study was to determine the response to growth of arbila (phaseolus lunatus L.) plants due to the addition of bokashi fertilizer made from gamal leaves, goat feces at different levels, which has been carried out for 5 months in the forage garden of Kupang State Agricultural Polytechnic. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments of 5 replications consisting of P0 = without bokashi, P5 = 5 tons / ha, P10 = 10 tons / ha, and P15 = 15 tons / ha. The variables observed were the number of root nodules (fruit), the percentage of effective root nodules, the increase in the number of leaves (number / week). The data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Analysis of variance showed that the levels of gamal leaf bokashi and goat feces had a significant effect (P <0, 05) on the number of root nodules and the increase in the number of leaves but had no significant effect (P> 0.05%) on the percentage of effective root nodules of arbila (Phaseolus lunatus L.) plants. The average number of arbila (Phaseolus lunatus L.) root nodules was 27.7 fruit / polybag, the percentage of effective root nodules was 15.463% / polybag and the increase in the number of leaves was 19.25 leaves / polybag. It was concluded that different levels of gamal leaf bokashi and goat feces had an effect on the number of root nodules, the increase in the number of leaves (number / week) but did not affect the percentage of effective root nodules of arbila plants.
