The aim of this study is to determine the effect of combine organic fertilizer (manure) and inorganic fertilizer (NPK and Micro fertilizer) on the growth and yield of cucumber ( Cucumissativus L.). This study was conducted in the Experimental station, Agriculture Faculty, Universitas Syiah Kuala, Aceh from February to April2018. This experiment was arranged in a factorial randomized completely block design with two factors and three replications. The first factor was the provision of organic fertilizer (manure) with 3 levels: 10 t ha −1 (K 1 ), 20 t ha −1 (K 2 ), and 30 t ha −1 (K 3 ). The second factor was the provision of inorganic NPK fertilizer with 3 treatments: Without NPK fertilizer (control - N 0 ), NPK Fertilizer(N 50 kg ha −1 P 2 O 5 50 kg ha −1 and K 2 O 50 kg ha −1 (280 kg ha −1 Phonska 16-16-16 - N 1 ), and NPK + Micro Fertilizer (N 50 kg ha −1 P 2 O 5 50 kg ha −1 and K 2 O 50 kg ha −1 (280 kg ha −1 Phonska 16-16-16 + 2% Micro fertilizer – N 2 )). Results show that organic fertilizers (20 and 30 ton ha −1 ) increase fruit weight of each sample and fruit weight of each plant. The application of NPK + Micro Fertilizer produces in the best fruit weight of each sample and fruit weight of each plant. The combination of organic fertilizer (20 ton ha −1 ) and inorganic NPK + Micro Fertilizer results in the best fruit weight each plant of cucumber.
