The purpose of this research to determine the effect of the combination of manure and EM-4 on the growth and yield of red spinach and to study its benefits as a source of Fe nutrients for health. This study was an experimental study using a randomized block design (RBD) in the combined treatment of manure with EM-4. The manure (P) was at three levels, namely: P1 = 5 tons/ha of manure dose; P2 = Dose of manure 10 tons / hectare; P3 = Dose of manure 15 tons / hectare; while giving the concentration of EM-4 (K) with three levels, namely: K1 = 5 ml EM-4 / liter of water; K2 = 10 ml EM-4 / liter of water; K3 = 15 ml EM-4 / liter of water. There was a significant effect of the combination treatment of manure with EM-4 studied, namely on the variables of plant height, number of leaves and fresh weight. Consuming fresh red spinach regularly according to the Nutrition Adequacy Rate is very beneficial for body health because the content of iron, calcium, copper, thiamine, fiber, zinc and water including high and quite high.
