This study aims to determine the effect of humic acid and guano obtained from swallow bird on the growth of sugarcane seedlings propagated with bud set method. The research was carried out in the form of a two-factor factorial design with a randomized block design (RBD) as an environmental design. Humic acid as the first factor consisting of 3 levels, namely: 0% (v/v) mL per polybag, 5% (v/v) mL per polybag, and 10% (v/v) mL per polybag and Swallow guano as the second factor consists of 4 levels, namely: 0 g per polybag, 150 g per polybag, 300 g per polybag and 450 g per polybag. The results showed that the treatment of humic acid application with a concentration of 10% (v/v) mL per polybag tended to give the best results on the highest leaf number parameter 9.50 strands and the application of guano fertilizer at a dose of 300 g per polybag tended to give the best results on parameters of plant height (54.55 cm). There is an interaction between the application of humic acid application dose of 10% (v/v) mL with guano fertilizer dosage of 150 g per polybag. This combination gave the best results on the number of leaves (9.50). Humic acid with a concentration of 10% (v/v) mL per polybag showed the best results on the parameters of plant height, number of leaves, number of saplings. While application of guano fertilizer at a dose of 300 g per polybag showed the best results on plant height parameters, cane diameter, number of saplings.
