This research aims to study the effect of applying various seaweed extract concentrations on mustard greens growth and yield ( Brassica juncea L.). The study was conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture Screen House, University Tadulako Palu, and arranged using a randomized block design (RBD) with six treatments. These were, without seaweed extract (E0), as well as 20% (E1), 40% (E2), 60% (E3), 80% (E4), and 100% (E5) seaweed extract concentration. The experiment was repeated four times, thus, there were 24 experimental units. Subsequently, the data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance, followed by Honest Real Difference at level 5%. The results showed seaweed extract with different concentrations significantly influenced plant height, leaf number, leaf area, fresh weight, and dry weight.
