    Growth and yield of Finger Pepper (Capsicum spp.) varieties intercropped with Rambutann (Nephelium lappaceum linn.) tress as affected by organic fertilizers
    (Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2014-03) Egalla, Sharmaine L.
    This study was conducted to determine the organic fertilizer that would give the favorable growth, and yield of finger pepper varieties; determine the finger pepper variety that is most adaptable to DMMMSU-NLUC condition in terms of its growth and yield and income, and to determine the best interaction effects between organic fertilizer and finger pepper varieties when finger pepper plants were planted between rambutan trees. It was conducted at the Agroforestry Research and Demonstration Farm, DMMMSU-NLUC from July 6 to December 6. The split-plot technique in Randomized Complete Block Design was used. The treatments were: Main plot (organic fertilizers such as T0 (urea), T1 (chicken manure), T2 (cattle manure), and T3 (goat manure) and Subplot (pepper varieties)such as V1 (Django F1), V2 (Inokra), V3 (Panigang King F1), and V4 (Panigang best F1). On the effects of organic fertilizer, results revealed that chicken manure and goat manure were the earliest to initiate flower, where cattle, chicken, and goat manures were comparable in terms of the final height and average monthly height increment of the finger pepper varieties, however, as to the computed yield per subplot and per hectare as well as the net income per subplot and per hectare, the goat and chicken manure give the highest although not significant. In terms of the finger pepper variety, Django F1 and Panigang Best F1 were the earliest to first flower initiation. In terms of height, Panigang King F1 and Panigang Best F1 produced the tallest final height and average monthly height increment. On the yield per subplot and computed yield per hectare, and net income per subplot and per hectare, the Panigang Best F1 and Django F1 produced significantly higher over the Inokra and Panigang King F1. On the interaction effects between organic and finger pepper variety, only the height increment revealed significant difference. However, Panigang King F1 applied with chicken manure and cattle manure, and Panigang Best F1 applied with cattle manure were not significant. All the other parameters taken were comparable.
