Slurry of biogas contains microorganisms that assist the preparation of nutrients for soil as well as for plant. This study aims to prove that the slurry biogas microbial can improve the quality of Turi plant sprout ( Sesbania grandiflora ). This research was conducted from April to May 2018 using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with treatments which were slurry dosages; i.e T0: without slurry; T1: slurry dosage of 500 ml every 1 m3 plant media; T2: slurry dosage of 1000 ml slurry every 1 m3 plant media. There were 4 replications. Parameters were chemical composition of slurry, microbial population, plant height, total leaf, number of branch and stem diameter. The results showed that T0, T1 had no significant effect on every parameters while T2 improved total of leaf and number of branch (P <0.05). There was a sicnificant increasing of microbial population in line with the increasing of slurry dosage. T2 contained the highest population of bacteria or fungal (P <0.05) compared to T0 or T1.
