dc.description.abstractThe study was conducted in a greenhouse establish at the west side of the Agricultural Engineering building from December 21, 2009 to February 14, 2010 to determine the significant effects of frequency of irrigation on the growth and yield as related to method of planting and water to irrigate. Two factors involved in the study include available moisture deficit and method of planting. The treatment combinations/interactions were replicated three times and laid out following the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The following parameters were measured namely: weekly length increment, yield of plants, mean diameter of fruits, number of fruits, time of fruiting, length of roots, rate of survival and volume of water applied. Plants were irrigated at certain allowable moisture deficit, 35% - 40% of allowable moisture deficit, 40% - 45% of allowable moisture deficit, 55% - 60% of allowable moisture deficit, and the other one is irrigated with allowable moisture deficit of 65% - 70%. The method of planting followed the upright and upside down position. Analysis of Variance experiment was used to determine whether there was a significant difference among the treatments. The Duncan's Multiple Replication Test (DMRT) was used for further test of significance. Level of allowable moisture deficit revealed significant effect on the length of plant, weight, number and diameter of fruits, time of fruiting, rate of survival as well as the length of roots. Method of planting showed significant effect on the length of plants and length of roots but no significant effect on the weight, number and diameter of fruits, time of fruiting and rate of survival. Treatment combinations indicated significant effect on the length of plants, weight, number, and diameter of fruits, time of fruiting but no significant effect on the rate of survival and length of the roots. The total amount of water applied was highest in Treatment A and lowest in Treatment B at 24.996437 liters and 13.76184 liters, respectively.
