A sustainable agricultural system is an effort to maintain a healthy, dynamic, and sustainable agricultural environment. One of the environmentally friendly concepts is the use of organic matter as fertilizer. The purpose of this study was to obtain the best dose of using organic compost fertilizer.' This research was a quantitative experimental study using a one-factor Randomized Block Design (RBD), namely organic fertilizer with 5 levels of treatment, namely: P0 = No organic fertilizer (control) ), P1 = Dose of 20 g.plant-1, P2 = Dose of 40 g.plant-1, P3 = Dose of 60 g.plant-1, P4 = Dose of 80 g.plant-1. The results of the study on the vegetative component at each additional dose increased in size, the yield component had a significant to a very significant effect on cob length, cob diameter, and weight of 1000 seeds. The use of compost can provide maximum results for the production of feed corn, The best use of fertilizer is at a dose of 80 g.plant-1.
