The research aimed to determine the effect of shade and additional urea fertilizer on growth and production of “Jontang Kuda” or “Legetan” (Synedrella nodiflora) as forage. The research was carried out in the Forage and Pasture Science Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Science, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta. The research was arranged by Completely Randomized Design (CRD) factorial design 2x3. The shading treatment was used shade with light intensity 478x10 lux and open space plantation with light intensity 477x100 lux. The fertilizer treatment was used 0 kg/ha, 100 kg/ha, and 200 kg/ha. Variables observed in the research included plant height, number of branch, number of leaf, and biomass production. The statistical analysis used variance based on CRD factorial and result of significant followed by Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT). The results showed that the effect of shade and level of urea fertilizer had a significant effect (P <0.05) on the growth and production of Synedrella nodiflora. Shade decreases the value of biomass production, plant height, number of leaves and number of branches, while the urea fertilizer level of 200 kg/ha increases the value of biomass production and plant growth. The results showed that there was no interaction between shade and level of urea fertilizer on growth and fresh production of Synedrella nodiflora.
