Sugarcane is one of the biggest sugar-producing commodities in Indonesia and has been established by the government in a national sugar self-sufficiency program. Increasing sugar productivity is one of the keys to achieving sugar self-sufficiency. The use of organic material mixed with Trichoderma sp. believed to be able to increase the productivity of sugar cane, especially those planted in the marginal fields with low fertility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the growth response of Bulu Lawang (BL) sugarcane variety to the application of organic plus material. The design of the experiment used a split plot design. The main plot was anorganic fertilizer with 4 levels while organic matter was added as a subplot with 3 levels. Based on the results of the study, there was no interaction between the main plot and the experimental subplot. Independently, the application of inorganic fertilizer 100% of the recommendations triggers a better sugarcane stem length. The application of organic rice straw plus endophytic and non-endophytic T. asperellum encourages better leaf number, stem height, segment length and sugarcane stem diameter.
