Green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are one of the legume vegetables favored by the Indonesian people due to their taste and rich protein and vitamin content. Currently, green bean production in Indonesia fluctuates due to improper fertilizer use, such as excessive use of inorganic fertilizers. One effort to reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers is by using organic fertilizers as inputs. Organic fertilizers such as compost can be used to meet the nutritional needs of plants. Compost is an organic fertilizer derived from plant residues and animal manure that has undergone a decomposition process. Compost production can utilize waste from mushroom logs and livestock manure, which are commonly underutilized. This study aims to determine the compost composition that provides the best results for the growth parameters and biomass production of green bean plants. The study is based on the different types of livestock manure added to the compost composition of the mushroom log waste. The treatments in this study consist of mushroom log waste without the addition of livestock manure, mushroom log waste with the addition of chicken manure, mushroom log waste with the addition of cow manure, and mushroom log waste with the addition of goat manure. The results of this study indicate that the treatment MKa (growing media + Ka compost) provides the best results in terms of the growth parameters and production of green bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) of the logawa variety, due to its higher nutrient content compared to other treatments.
