This research was aimed to know the Growth of Avocado Plant Seedlings of YM Variety (Persea americana Mill.) to the Composition of Organic Planting Media and Nanosil Technology Liquid Fertilizer. This research was carried out at the Experimental Land of the Faculty of Agriculture Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University Kp Cikuya Karang Kitri Sindang Sari Village Pabuaran District Serang Regency Banten This research used a Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with two factors. The first factor was effect of Planting Media (M) which consisted of 3 levels, namely: Sawdust + soil 1:2 (M1), Rice husk + soil 1:2 (M2), Sawdust + rice husk+ soil 1:1:2 (M3). The second factor was Nanosil Liquid Fertilizer which consisted of 3 levels, namely: control (N0), Nanosil Liquid Fertilizer 5 ml/l (N1), and Nanosil Liquid Fertilizer 10 ml/l (N2). The result showed that the composition treatment of planting media has the best influence on the parameters of plant height (11.66 cm), number of leaves (50.44 strands), and level of greenness of the leaves (51.31 unit). The nanosil liquid fertilizer gave the best influence on the parameters of plant height (13.66 cm), number of leaves (50.66 strands), stem diameter (2.72 mm) and leaf width (4.3 mm). There was an interaction between the composition treatment of growing media and the nanosil liquid fertilizer to parameters plant height and number of leaves.
