S), the research design used was RAL with 4 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments consisted of R0 : control, R1 : compost 125g / planting hole, R2 : 159g / planting hole, R3 : 375g /palting hole, the results of the study show that composting can increase growth and yield of plants, the highest plant height is found in R3 : 45,07 cm, the highest number of tillers is in R3 4,85, the highest number of leaves is in R3 ; 21,22 strands, fresh weight production is in R3 = 1000 g and dry weight production is in R3 : 35,69 g. The conclusion from the results of this study is that the provision of compost 375 g/ planting hole can increase the growth of setaria grass better and the provision of compost fertilizer is very good to be applied to the cultivation of setaria grass (Setaria sphacelata.
