Abstract: Nickel mining activities mainly using open pit techniques
often affect surface morphology and allow the land to be suboptimal
for reuse. Land restoration activities, such as providing organic matter,
are an effort to optimize marginal land. This study aims to determine
the use of planting media made from chicken manure and sawdust for
the growth of cover crops as an effort to reclaim ex-mining land. This
research method used a randomized block design. The results of this
study indicate that the addition of organic matter to the soil can
increase the growth and number of leaves on the cover crop.
