The availability of water that is depleted in agricultural activities can be a problem. This can be overcome by regulating water through a drip fertigation system that combines efficient watering and fertilization. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of variations in rabbit urine POC (liquid organic fertilizer) concentration through drip fertigation on the growth, yield, mass and energy balance of Pagoda Mustard plants. The study used a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 repetitions. The treatment in this study contained differences in the concentration of rabbit urine POC fertilizer, namely P1 (0 ml/l), P2 (50 ml/l), P3 (100 ml/l), and P4 (150 ml/l). The parameters observed were growth (number of leaves, plant height, canopy area), yield (wet weight, dry weight, moisture plant, and plant N uptake), and calculating the mass and energy balance of the cultivation system. Based on the results of the study, it was found that differences in rabbit urine POC concentrations did not affect the growth and biomass yield of pagoda mustard plants, but the P1 treatment (0 ml/l) gave the highest yield on growth and biomass yield of Pagoda Mustard plants.
