The research aims to 1) know the response of plant growth and yield of melon by fertilizing it with NPK fertilizer, and to know the optimal dose of NPK fertilizer, 2) know the response of plant growth and yield of melon by fertilizing it with biofertilizers, and 3) know the response of plant growth and yield of melon on the various combinations of NPK and biofertilizers. The research is conducted in Screen House, Cilengko Farm, Pandak, Baturraden on May 2015 through August 2015. The field experimental design used is Randomized Block Design (RBD) factorial with three replications. Factors that tested in the research are as follows NPK: N0: control, N1: 50 g/plant, N2: 100 g/plant, and biofertilizers: O0: control, O1: 10 ml/plant, O2: 15ml/plant. Data are analyzed by F test, if is significantly different, it will be continued by DMRT (Duncan’s Multiple Range Test) at the error rate 5%. The results show that 1) dose of NPK fertilizer 50 g/plants show a better response to the variable length of the plant, sum of leaves and greenish levels, 2) treatment of multiple doses of biofertilizers does not show any response to the variables of research at all, and 3) the combination of NPK and biofertilizers does not show any response to the variables of research and melon crops.
