Abstract
The pollination of crops using honeybee had ventures an economically sound way of increasing pod yield of bush sitao. Hence, a study was conducted to determine the response of bush sitao to insect pollination using the CRD design with four replications.
This study was conducted at the experimental farm of the DMMMSU-NLUC, Bacnotan, La Union from November 30 to February 4, 2005.
Based on the results of the study the open plots with bees produced longer pods of 16.77 cm, more number of developed seeds of 11.41 seeds/pod and heavier 1000 dried seeds of 44.00 g.
There was no marked differences noted on the number of pods produced per
plant, number of undeveloped seeds, percentage germination, number of viable seeds, number of non-viable seeds and weight of fresh pods per sample plant.
