Green chance piedra (Phyllanthus niruri L.), a wild plant traditionally used for medicinal purposes, faces cultivation challenges related to water availability and organic fertilisation. This study aimed to analyse the effects of irrigation frequency and organic fertilisation on the growth and biomass production of green chance piedra, as well as the interaction between these two factors. The research was conducted in a greenhouse at Gunadarma University Campus F7 (April–June 2022) using a split-plot randomised complete block design (RCBD). The main plot consisted of drip irrigation frequency with four treatments: watering every 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours. The subplot involves organic fertilisation with three treatments: control (no fertilisation), organic fertiliser without banana corm MOL (local microorganism solution), and organic fertiliser supplemented with banana corm MOL. Results indicated that irrigation frequency and organic fertilisation significantly influenced growth and biomass production in green chanca piedra. The optimal treatments were 6-hour irrigation intervals and organic fertilisation without banana corm MOL. Furthermore, a significant interaction was observed between irrigation frequency and organic fertilisation, highlighting their combined impact on plant performance. These findings provide critical insights for optimising cultivation protocols to enhance biomass yield in green chanca piedra.
