Thailand has a huge amount of residue biomass from sugar cane and rice. Finding the utilization is important. For example, they can be used as a part of planting material for Fa Thalai Chon sprouts to obtain better growth and higher andrographolide content within the shorter production period than normal planting method. The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of sowing media from residual biomass of sugarcane and rice on growth and andrographolide content of Fa Thalai Chon sprouts. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications. Three formulas of sowing media were; 1) peat moss, 2) peat moss : residue biomass (50:50) and 3) peat moss : residue biomass (75:25). Residue biomass was a composite material made from sugarcane leaf : rice straw : rice bran: water (1:5:3:1). The results showed that Fa Thalai Chon sprout planted in peat moss : residue biomass (50:50) showed the highest stem length (7.25 cm), and andrographolide content (3.180 mg/g sample) followed by Fa Thalai Chon sprout planted in peat moss : residue biomass (75:25), which had the stem length of 6.20 cm, and andrographolide content of 2.733 mg/g sample. Plant seedlings in peat moss had the highest stem and root fresh weight at 29.98 and 17.28 mg, respectively. This study concluded that residue biomass from sugar cane and rice promoted growth, and andrographolide content in Fa Thalai Chon sprouts. Peat moss mixed with residue biomass ratio 50:50 was the suitable growing media for better growth and higher andrographolide content of Fa Thalai Chon sprouts.
