This research aims to assess the production performance of mini elephant grass due to different water volumes. This research has been carried out in the Forage Plantation (HMI) of the Kupang State Agricultural Polytechnic for about four (4) months, namely May to August 2020. This research is an experimental research design with a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments of 5 replications consisting of Pl00 = mini elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv.Mott) given 100% water SC (control), P75 = mini elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott) who was given 75% water SC, P50 = mini elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv.Mott) which gives 50% water SC, P25 mini elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv.Mott) which is 25% water cherry SC. The variables observed in this study were the production of fresh forage materials, Pennisetum purpureum cv.Mott (gr / polybags), production of green grass materials Pennisetunm purpureum cv.Mott (gr / polybags), production of grass organic matter Pennisetum purpureum cv.Mott (gr/polybags), production weight dry claun forage grass Pennisetum purpureum cv.Mott (gr/polybags). The results of statistical analysis showed that the volume of different water supply had a very significant effect on the production of mini elephant grass forage, the production of dry material for mini elephant grass, the production of organic material for mini elephant grass, but had no significant effecon dry weight production of mini elephant grass leaves (P> 0.05). The average production of mini elephant grass forage is 106.3 gr/polybafs, dry matter production of mini elephant grass is 20.89 gr/polybags, the production of organic material for mini elephant grass is 16.85 gra/polybags, the production of dry weight of mini elephant grass is 5,55 gr/polybags.
