(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2024-06) Balisbis, Cynthia T.
This study investigates the optimization of tomato cultivation within agroforestry systems. It aimed to evaluate the growth and yield of tomato var. Diamante max f1 as applied with organic foliar fertilizers at different planting distances in a multi-storey agroforestry system. The study was laid out following a Split Plot Design with three blocks and thirty-six plots. Planting distance of 70cm x 80cm gave the most favorable results in terms of growth and yield of Tomato var. Diamante Max F1. Plants applied with Fermented
Plant Juice(B3) produced the highest gross income, and all the plants survived 100% at the termination of the study. Interaction effects between planting distance and organic foliar fertilizers on the days of harvesting revealed that Tomato var. Diamante Max F1 plants applied with Fermented Fruit Juice (B2) at planting distance of A2 (60cm x 80cm) were the earliest to harvest with an average of 102.67 days and produced the earliest days to fruiting.
