This research was aimed to determine the success rate of elephant grass cuttings (Pennisetum purpureum) with various durations on immersion stem cuttings in goat urine solution. The method used was field experimental using Completely Randomized Design with 5 treatments and 3 replications. The treatment used was P0 (without immersion), immersion on goat urine solution P1 (10 min), P2 (20 min), P3 (30 min), P4 (40 min). The variables observed in this research are the percentage of success rate, the quantity of root, the number of leaves, plant height and production quantity. The results showed that on elephant grass cuttings ( Pennisetum purpureum ) with various immersion times in goat urine gave highly significant effect (P 0.05) on the results of cuttings. Percentage of highest success rate on the treatment of P3 and P4 (97.78%), highest root quantity at P3 (38.33 cm). This research concluded that the treatment of immersion elephant grass stem for 30 minutes in goat urine solution can increase the success rate reaches 97.78%.
