Nowadays there is a tendency of the people, especially the middle class and above, to choose vegetables with high quality and safe for body. Therefore, farmers are required to always innovate in terms of vegetable cultivation, so that the crops can compete and be accepted by the community. This study aims to determine the effect of the addition of decomposer microorganisms on the Natural Hydroponic Technology (NHT) system on the growth of Pakchoy plants. The study was conducted on May to July 2019 in the agricultural land of Ngesrep Balong Village, Limbangan District, Kendal Regency, Central Java. This study uses a completely randomized design (CRD) with one treatment factor, the type of decomposer microorganisms. The research data was taken through several measurement techniques and direct observation of objects. Data were taken three times on the 14th day, 21 st day, and 28 th day after planting. Data were then analyzed statistically with ANOVA (Analysys of Variance) at 95% confidence level and continued with LSD test. The analysis shows that the addition of decomposer microorganisms to the Natural Hydroponic Technology (NHT) system can increase the growth rate of Pakchoy plants. Decomposer microorganisms with trademarks ST (Sukses Tani) and EM-4 (Effective Microorganism-4) produce the same growth rate.
