%X MSG is glutamate acid which contains many elements of N (Nitrogen), P  (Phosphorus), K (Potassium), and there is also the content of Na (Sodium) which  can stimulate plant growth. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect  of MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) solution on the growth of onion bulbs (Allium  cepa L.). This research was conducted at the Botanical Laboratory of Biology,  Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Lampung from  November-December 2018. The study was conducted using a Completely  Randomized Design (CRD), using MSG as a single factor with several levels of  concentration: 0% (control), 5%, 10%, and 15% as treatment. The treatment was  carried out with five replications so that 20 experimental units were obtained. The  variables in this study were the number of shoots, number of leaves, leaf dry  weight, and chlorophyll a content, chlorophyll b, and total chlorophyll. Variety  homogeneity was determined based on the Levene test, then an analysis of    variance was carried out at the level of 5%, if there were differences between  treatments then a further test was carried out with the LSD test at the 5% level.  The results showed that MSG solution had an effect on the growth of onion bulbs,  the effect of which was evident in the variables of chlorophyll a and total while  the other variables had the same effect. The administration of 10% MSG solution  which effectively affects the growth of onion bulbs.  Keywords: Onion, MSG, and Shoot growth.  MSG merupakan asam glutamat yang banyak mengandung unsur N (Nitrogen), P  (Fosfor), Kalium (K), serta terdapat juga kandungan Na (Natrium) yang dapat  merangsang pertumbuhan tanaman. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk  mengetahui pengaruh larutan MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) terhadap  pertumbuhan umbi bawang merah (Allium cepa L.). Penelitian ini dilakukan di  Laboratorium Botani jurusan Biologi Fakultas Matematika dan Ilmu Pengetahuan  Alam Universitas Lampung dari bulan November-Desember 2018. Penelitian  dilaksanakan dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL),  menggunakan MSG sebagai faktor tunggal dengan beberapa taraf konsentrasi :  0% (kontrol), 5%, 10%, dan 15% sebagai perlakuan. Perlakuan dilakukan dengan  lima kali ulangan sehingga didapatkan 20 satuan percobaan. Variabel dalam  penelitian ini adalah jumlah tunas, jumlah daun, berat kering daun, dan kandungan  klorofil a, klorofil b, dan klorofil total. Homogenitas ragam ditentukan    berdasarkan uji Levene, kemudian dilakukan Analisis Of Variance pada taraf 5%,  apabila ada perbedaan antar perlakuan maka dilakukan uji lanjut dengan uji BNT  pada taraf nyata 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan larutan MSG memberikan  pengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan umbi bawang merah, pengaruh yang terlihat  nyata terdapat pada variabel klorofil a dan total sedangkan variabel lainnya  memberikan pengaruh yang sama. Pemberian larutan MSG konsentrasi 10% yang  efektif mempengaruhi pertumbuhan umbi bawang merah.    Kata Kunci : Bawang Merah, MSG, dan Pertumbuhan tunas.
