Abstract: A research to reduce application of N inorganic fertilizer through combination of inorganic-organic N and EM4 on eggplant has done on paddy field in Poncokusumo, Malang Regency, East Java, from June to September 2013. The e xperiment used a randomized complete block design with two factors and three replications. The first factor was the combination of inorganic- organic N fertilizer, ie. 100% urea , 75% urea + 25% goat manure , 50% urea + 50% goat manure, and 25% urea + 75% goat manure . The second factor was dose of EM4, ie. 10, 20, and 30 liters EM4 ha -1 . The results showed a reduction in the proportion of urea up to 50% and replace it with goat manure resulted growth and fruit yield of eggplant better than the others. The application of 100% u rea gave the lowest fruit yield . Application of EM4 on eggplant enhance d growth and increased fruit yield. EM4 application with doses of 30 liters ha -1 resulted the highest fruit yield , accelerate the decomposition and mineralization of N.
