- Labisia pumila is an important herbal plant belonging to the Primulaceae family. Traditionally, the water decoction of this herb was used for pre and post-partum treatment by the Malay women. L. pumila has the ability to regulate body weight, prevent photo-aging and has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal effects. As natural supplies of this herb are dwindling due to over exploitation, it is imperative that attempts be made to cultivate this local popular herb. Thus, it is important to determine the best agronomy practices of this herb which may assist to increase the yield and phythochemical compounds. Fertilizer applications are essential in order to supply the important nutrients that increase growth, vigour, yield and maintain the health of plants. Besides optimum growth, it is important to identify how plant nutrition can increase the phytochemical compounds of L. pumila. Maintenance and/or enhancement of phytochemicals present via fertilization may garner high quality plants for production of phythochemical compounds. The objectives of this research were to determine the effects of different types of soil amendments on 12 months old L. pumila at nursery stage. Seven treatments were used in this study i.e. i) Inorganic fertilizer (NPK Green 15: 15: 15), 90 kg N/ha (T1) (positive control); ii) Inorganic fertilizer (NPK Green 15: 15: 15), 90 kg N/ha + Biochar, 5% of media (T2); iii) Controlled release fertilizer (AJIB NPK Granular 10: 15: 17: 2: 5), 90 kg N/ha (T3); iv) Controlled release fertilizer (AJIB NPK Granular 10: 15: 17: 2: 5) + Biochar, 5% of media (T4); v) Controlled release fertilizer (AJIB NPK Granular 10: 15: 17: 2: 5) + Compost (T5); vi) Controlled release fertilizer (AJIB NPK Granular 10: 15: 17: 2: 5) + Compost + Biochar, 5% (T6); and vii) Without fertilizer (negative control). The findings showed that T5 gave the best growth performances in terms of stem height, leaves number, leaves width, leaves length and collar diameter. Whereas, for total phenolic content, T6 gave the highest value of 310 mg/100 GAE followed by T5 with 202 mg/100 GAE. In conclusion, soil health plays important roles in growth and phytochemical response of L. pumila at nursery stage
