The purpose of this study was to determine the effect and effective concentration of caisin B. rapa growth by in vitro administration of shallot extract A. cepa on Hyponex medium. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with a single factor, namely shallot extract A. cepa with five concentrations as treatment, namely 0%, 7%, 14%, 21%, and 28%. The data obtained are in the form of qualitative data and quantitative data. Qualitative data is in the form of descriptive and supported by photos.
