Competency Based Research Program (KBR), the purpose of improving the competence of lecturers in the field. Referring to the Master Plan of Research (MPR) of Udayana University, the field of food security. Its goal of producing appropriate technology to improve the production and quality of horticultural crops, as well as environmentally friendly agriculture is required for hotel and restaurant needs. Baliplus Mineral Fertilizer (BMF) Treatment Test = (5 tons dolomite + 100 kg NPK) ha-1 in Andosol soil, sandy. Five plants were tested: broccoli, cauliflower, round salad, pinach, and mustard tope. Randomized block design, treatment of fertilizer per hectare: P0 = organic fertilizer = 20 tonnes, P1 (fertilizer farmers) = P0 + 200 kg NPK, P2 = 400 kg NPK, P3 = ½ P0 + 1BMF, and P4 = ½P0 + 2BMF. Three replications, observation parameters: production, increased production, and nutrient content of the plant. Duncan's real test difference of 5%, using the Costat program. BMF has a very significant effect on chlorophyll and significantly increases the production of all tested plants, P4 treatment obtained the highest production and percentage increase compared to farmer fertilizer. Production and percentage of increase: broccoli 15.89 tons ha-1 (16.78%), cauliflower 20.02 tons ha-1 (13.62%), round salad 32.37 tons ha-1 (26.36%), spinach 21tons ha-1 (16.21%), and mustard tope 23 tons ha-1 (13.13%), BMF increases the nutritional content: total sugar, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. Quality broccoli > cauliflowers > round salad. BMF increases production, and product quality, and reduces the use of organic fertilizers Keywords : Baliplus mineral fertilizer, plant production, and nutrition
