The purpose of this study was to determine how much organic chemical fertilizer was needed for growth, physiology, yield, and total lactone content in potted Andrographis paniculata. The Agricultural Technology Research Institute, Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna, Lampang province served as the site of the experiment. The organic chemical fertilizers were applied at the following rates: 0 (control treatment), 1.4, 2.8, 4.2, and 5.6 grams per pot. The experiment was a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 5 treatments and 8 replications. The 6-3-3 OM10% compound type fertilizer was utilized in the experiment. The experiment was carried out in 2023, from August to October. According to the findings, A. paniculata exhibited greater stem growth in terms of plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf width, and leaf length when the chemical organic fertilizer was applied at a rate of 2.8–4.2 grams per pot. This, in turn, led to a higher dry weight than when other fertilizer rates were used. In comparison to other fertilizer rates, the application of chemical organic fertilizer at a rate of 2.8–5.6 grams per pot helped to increase the fresh weight, transpiration rate, stomata conductance rate, CO2 assimilation rate, and leaf efficiency of chlorophyll fluorescence. The amount of chlorophyll and total lactone in the leaves were measured with each fertilizer rate. The organic chemical fertilizer rate suggested by this experiment was 75 kilograms per rai, or 4.2 grams per pot.
