Spirulina platensis is a microalga widely cultivated and high in protein, making it a potential natural feed. Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) have a nutritional value greater than that of plants in general and are widely used as a plant fertilizer. This study aims to analyze the effect of Moringa leaf liquid fertilizer on the growth of S. Platensis and to determine the optimal fertilizer concentration. The research method used was an experimental design with direct observation during data collection. The Completely Randomized Design (CRD) used consisted of 5 treatments, namely the addition of 3 mL/L (A), 5 mL/L (B), and 7 mL/L (C) Moringa leaf liquid fertilizer, positive control (D), and negative control (E), where each treatment was performed for 3 repetitions. Culture of S. platensis was carried out for 7 days, with water quality parameters, including salinity, pH, and temperature, measured. Cell density and chlorophyll-a content were measured daily. The research results showed that water quality was good. The highest cell population density was observed in treatment C (7 mL/L), with a density of 754,000 cells/mL. The chlorophyll-a content did not significantly increase when liquid fertilizer from Moringa leaves was applied (p>0.05). Based on the results, applying Moringa leaf liquid fertilizer positively affects the cell population density of S. platensis, with an optimal concentration of 7 mL/L.
