Abstract
This study was designed to determine the yield performance of young corn (white
and yellow var.) as affected by different organic fertilizers. The treatments used were T0-
trichoderma based fertilizer (control), T I-caoili, T 2-sagana 100, and T r-diamond. The
treatments were replicated four times; following the 2-factor experiment using the
Randomized Complete Block design.
There were four (4) blocks and each block was further subdivided into eight plots
making a total of 32 plots
The Analysis of Variance set at 0.05 and 0.0 1 level of significance was used to
determine if there are significant differences among treatments. To find where lies the
significance, the Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was used.
The findings showed that treatments including Trichoderma based fertilizer as
control, did not significantly affect the yield performance of young com in terms of
number of fruits, length of fruits, and weight of fruits. The different organic fertilizers
have comparable effect on the yield performance of young com. The 2 com varieties did
not have significant difference on the yield in terms of the number and length of fruits.
However, in terms of weight, the yield performance of variety 2 (yellow com) is
significantly better than variety 1(white com).
