The purpose of this research was to study the efficiency of Wolffia globosa (L.) Wimm productivity under light control system. The methodology was divided into 3 steps; the 1st was designing production system under light controller; the 2nd was experimental design for productivity comparison between light control system and outdoor nursery house semi-close system (8 experimental units per system; 16 total experimental units) for the period of during 30 days and the 3rd was studying and efficiency of Wolffia globosa (L.) Wimm productivity under light control system. Water temperature, pH and electrical conductivity of were collected twice a day. Physical characteristic and production level of Wolffia globosa (L.) Wimm were evaluated once every 5 days. The data were analyzed by Fisher test at p=0.05. The results revealed that the light control system was more efficient than outdoor nursery house semi close system in all aspects including control factors, physical characteristics and productivity aspects. The average fresh weight of total production was 174.66±13.53 grams (starting at 30.11±02 grams) and dry weight was 7.82±1.48 grams which were essentially significant (α=0.05).
