Foliar fertilizer supplements to vermicompost on the growth and yield of Pechay
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2016-03) Olbinado, Edison N.
Foliar fertilization is the most efficient way to increase plant growth and yield. The study aims to evaluate the response of pechay to foliar fertilizer supplements to vermicompost. This study was conducted from November 6, 2015 to December 21, 2015 at Barangay Patpata, Balaoan, La Union. The treatments were; T0-No Fertilizer Application, T1-Crop Recommendation, T2- Vermicopmpost+Commercial Foliar Fertilizer, T3-Vermicompost+Fermented Plant Juice, T4-Vermicompost+Vermi Tea and T5-Vermicompost+Sargassum Tea. Plant height at 15 and 25 DAT was significantly increased by application of Crop Recommendation (2tbsp of 46-0-0/gallon of water as starter:1tbsp 21-0-0 sidedressed per plant) and Vermicompost + foliar fertilizers. Supplementation of Vermicompost+Commercial Foliar Fertilizer or Sargassum Tea and Crop Recommendation comparably obtained the largest leaf area. The number of leaves, biomass, leaf yield/plant and plot were likewise comparable among plants applied with crop recommendation and foliar fertilizer supplements. Among the foliar fertilizer supplements, Vermi Tea application was the most profitable.
