Response of sweet Potato (var. Bengueta) to various manure tea
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University-North La Union Campus, 2017-03) Lopez, Leziel Q.
The use of manure tea has been greatly studied but the use of manure as tea for crops has little information. Hence, the study was conducted to determine the response of sweet potato to various manure tea fertilizer. This study was conducted at Salincob, Bacnotan, La Union from November 30, 2015 to March 10, 2016 following RCBD in three blocks and six treatments such: Control (No fertilizer), BSR (90-0-120 NPK kg/ha), chicken manure tea, cattle manure tea, sheep manure tea, and vermi tea. Results showed that sweetpotato plants fertilized with sheep manure tea produced comparable storage root yield with those plants applied with chemical fertilizer (90-0 120 NPK kg/ha) in terms of the weight in tons per hectare. The control plants significantly produced the least storage root yield but comparable to plants applied with manure tea.
