Abstract: The use of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) bokashi by single and multiple cropping systems of the soybean, corn, and dry land rice. This study is aimed to find out the effect use of water hyacinth bokashi on growth and production of soy bean, corn, and dry land rice by single and multiple cropping systems and farm income. The study was conducted at Sengkang, South Sulawesi, Indonesian. The experiment using randomized complete block design with based on two factor design. The first factor that of no water hyacinth bokashi, 1 t ha-1 water hyacinth bokashi, 2 t h-1 water hyacinth bokashi and by single and multiple cropping systems of soybean, corn, and dry land rice as the second factor. The results of experiment indicated that the application 2 t h-1 water hyacinth bokashi, the provided better effect toward growth and production of soybean, corn, and dry land rice, and than multiple cropping systems of soybean-corn-dry land rice, at the provided higher production and farm income with different single cropping system. The interaction between of the 2 t h-1 water hyacinth bokashi and multiple cropping systems by of soybean-corn-dry land rice, and provided better yields on production and farm income. Suggestion is application of water hyacinth bokashi above 2 t ha-1 needs to be tested by the use of cropping system.
