Abstract Kale (Brassica oleraceae var. acephala) is a green leafy vegetable dubbed a "superfood" because of its high nutritional value that provide health benefits. Gibberellins (including GA3) are one of the growth regulators that play significant roles in plant growth and development, as well as metabolism. Although the effects of gibberellin on plant growth and development are well known, its impact on the level of kale’s biologically active compounds (total phenol and vitamin c content) has yet to be thoroughly investigated. This study aims to examine gibberellins' effects on the growth and content of biologically active compounds in kale. A completely randomized design (CRD) is used in this study, with four replications for each treatment. Gibberellin was sprayed on the entire plant at four different dose levels (0 ppm, 50 ppm, 100 ppm, and 200 ppm). The obtained data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA (Analysis of Variance), followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5%. This study found that increasing the concentration of GA3 to 100 ppm had the best effects on kale growth (leaf area and wet weight) and the content of bioactive compounds, specifically total phenol content and vitamin C content.
