Broccoli is a popular vegetable that many people like very much. To have a good grow is demanded much more fertilizer. Naturally, a green vegetable contained Nitrate. To supply fertilizer with more and coutinuosly, resulted in the nature content in Broccoli going to rise up. Nitrate comprising Nitrogen (N) and Oxygen (O). In human body, Nitrate transfered into Nitrite and then got reacted with Hemoglobin forming Methenoglonbine may cause miss oxygen (hypoxsemia). In blood, it cause Nitrosamid or stomach cancer. On babies well known as “blues babies”. The objective of this study is to determine the requirement in applying fertilizer for Broccoli vegetable comprising of frequency in fertilizing, type and dosage of fertilizer, the method applying the fertilizer, space of plant for fertilizer, as well as to know total content of Nitrate on Broccoli vegetable. This study adopted descriptive survey research with spectroguan Nova Go method. In this case is this case is to count the content of Nitrate compared to standard content of nitrate refers to the ADI ( Acceptable Daily Intake )of the European Commission’s Scientific Committee For Food 1995 namely 3,65 mg/kg. The result of study showed that all sample as Broccoli vegetable fulfilled the requirement an not exceeding 50 mg/litre. Total fertilizer to apply also not exceeding as standard as determined for chemical fertilizer 1.4 ton per hectare and compost 2 ton per hectare. Frequency of fertilizing not exceeding standard. Noted 6 farmers applied fertilizer on morning and its plant distance far fertilizer less than 10-25 cm.
