The application of bamboo shoot extract as natural plant growth regulator can affect plant growth of binahong. The objective of the research is to evaluate the growth response of binahong on the application of bamboo shoot extract. The research was conducted in Balai Penelitian Sayuran (Balitsa) in Tongkoh Village, Dolat Rakyat, Tanah Karo, Sumatera Utara on April to August 2019. The experimental design was a factorial Randomized Block Design with two factors. The experimental design was the Randomized Block Design with two factors. The first factor is the plant of origin from Tanah Karo (accession 1; accession 2; accession 3). The second factor is the dose of bamboo shoot extract (without treatment; 20%, 40%, 60% of bamboo shoot extract). The parameter observed were plant length, shoot dry weight and root dry weight. The results showed that the application of bamboo shoot extract significantly increased the plant length at 5-10 week after planted, whereas the application of bamboo shoot extract did not significantly effect on shoot dry weight and root dry weight.
